Sega Dreamcast games & collectibles

The last Sega console and one of the best-loved, which keeps prices firmer than its sales numbers ever justified. GD-ROM drives are read-tested rather than assumed.

Buying Sega Dreamcast secondhand

  • The internal clock battery is rechargeable and usually dead — the console nags for the date at every boot but otherwise plays fine.
  • VMU screens fail and their button cells drain fast; a working VMU is worth checking for separately.
  • GD-ROM lasers are not being manufactured, which makes a strong drive the single most valuable thing about a used console.
