Yup yup

Sega Dreamcast + 12 Games including Aerowings, Worms World Party, Metropolis Street Racer, ChuChu Rocket, Resident Evil: Code Veronica, Hidden & Dangerous, Virtua Tennis, Jet Set Radio, Sonic Adventure, Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2, Maken X and Crazy Taxi for 36 English pounds :)

I'm quite happy now.

Anyway, just wondering what apps/emulators etc should I definitely get?.

Thanks :)

The Quake port is also very good. There's a very full compilation here:

http://www.dcevolution.net/fps_quake.php

You can get some great Beats Of Rage compilations there too and collections of demos etc.

I'm not sure when it will be released but Gianas Return could also be very good if you like you Mario style platformers. You can check up on the progress here:

A list of recommend emulators:

For a start I recommend Neo4All/CD.

Buy every Dreamcast game you can get your hands on, 10 controllers and a second DC (just like I did :))

And if you ever get bored with everything everyone mentioned above, it is still fun to mess around with some of the not-as-good or incomplete stuff thats out there. There are many many more emulators than the ones listed, like gameboy advance, n64, sega saturn, psx, etc., its just that most of them work really really crappy or dont play commercial games, but still, something more to play around with. I've also stumbled across numerous random utilities in my travels such as OS's (DC Linux, the BSD one, and DreamShell), memory card managers, benchmark/debug disc, and much more. Just go google-crazy and there is tons to find.
