i have every game in the dreamcast library, and over 100 of them burned and playble. Dreamcast is by far the best gaming system ever created in my opinion, u got it for a good deal man.

Online doesnt exist anymore except for phantasy star but yeah u get the program Disc Juggler and just start burning away. Sonic Adventure, Gauntlet Legends, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, NBA 2k, shit is alot of fun

I never owned a dreamcast but played it quite a bit at a friend's house. My fav game was a 3rd person shooter in which you controlled some type of animal. It was a lot like the Ratchet & Clank games, but not as much puzzles.

The only man to come close to sacking Rome during the Punic wars. in my mind a general on the level of sun tzu. Hannibal the great, who with a army of 10,000 took on 3 roman legions and crushed them while suffering minimal losses. ironically his only loss was on home soil at the battle of zuma.

I know about Hannibal. He was a Carthaginian general and he crossed the Alps to attack Rome. I believe it was Scipio who was the general that was in charge when they defeated him in Africa.

It's on sale this weekend on steam. You get Civ4 and both expansion packs, Warlords and Beyond The Sword (the better of the two/three-and the only one I play really).

no one ever won a war using elephants. they caused more harm than good. and btw, i played sonic adventure until my thumbs bled.

A big chunk of Hannibal's army died during his crossing of the Alps. I think he was more crazy than genius. :) He also was not that successful in his ventures around Rome because the Romans were burning all of their farmland and supplies, so Hannibal's army was not getting the supplies it needed because they were being destroyed.

hannibal knew how to gain a victory but not how to use it. that was his failing.
