I just got Half Life of the Dreamcast and it's bloody amazing,A lot better than the PC and Playstation 2 versions and it's got Blue Shift included in it.No slow down either and the controls are spot on even with the pad.It has the Keyboard and mouse mode in there too.The Dreamcast takes a while loading the intro and cut scenes though.

You mean that homebrew conversion presumably?

There is no homebrew conversion, only the illegal rip of the unreleased official DC port of Half Life entitled "Half Life Gold".

I played the rip on DC for a while and it's ok. It did seem a bit "muddy" when compared to the PC game and lower resolution of course.

There ya go - how dull.

I think I'm shit - I got it a couple of weeks ago and, after around 20 minutes of intro/training and so on, fell off the platform, broke my legs and failed even to do the task of turning the machine on..

Not really my cup of tea (I've no idea how good-a conversion it is)..

However, I look forward with glee to my copy of unreal for DC arriving on my doormat in the not-too-distant future.

Yeah, the loading times were awful. Fab conversion though.

It's not a rip or a homebrew.It's a full version game that was canned for different reasons at the last minute.EB and KB toys even stocked the strategy guide for the Dreamcast version.This is a real CD from a guy who worked at Sega .It's a finished product not pirate.The control is spot on with the Dreamcast pad plus you can use the Keyboard and mouse.There are no load times during gameplay but just for cut scenes and the boring long intro.I have Propeller Arena aswell but that's a different story

Hmm...do you think you'd be able to hook me up with a disc of Half Life and Propeller Arena?

Well i've tried to copy both disks and it seems impossible ,They have copyright protection.I've tried making images of the disks and it won't work.You can find copies of Half Life on Yahoo sometimes.I heard they are the finished product but with the copyright hacked(i'm not that good).I've never seen Propeller Arena anywhere though.I going to keep trying to copy Half life.
