Graal on Dreamcast
 

Graal should probbally be ported to dreamcast,
it uses windows ce but you can simualte a linux inviroment with the right tools (@www.dcemulation.com).and all you would have to do is downlaod the iso and burn it to a cd-r.
Dreamcast a built in modem and it also has a keyboard :)

That'd be great, if dreamcast weren't a dead system :)

PS2 and X-Box would be best to be ported to. But I don't think many casual gamers would buy Graal for their console..

Yeah Really...Dreamcast died a year or two ago.

I think this would be bad.
Graal is an online game,for PC,not video game.
it is good as it is...:D

Except it's not dead.

The Dreamcast still has a huge playerbase and still manages to consistently outsell the Xbox in Japan, both in game and hardware sales. Dead system? I think not.

Not to mention that the Dreamcast emulation and gaming scene is still huge.

Just because it's popular doesn't mean it is dead. First off, X-Box isn't all that great in the first place. Secondly, SEGA stopped production of the system and all game development has been halted (although I wouldn't be surprised if some developers still make games for it in Japan) for it, hence, it is technically, dead.

Your logic is dead.

Saying Xbox isn't all that great is subjective. The fact that Dreamcast isn't dead is objective. For a "dead" system, it has a playerbase that is third largest in the console industry, still has active development, and is a strong seller. Just because production has ceased doesn't mean jack.

I never really got the whole idea with porting Graal to GBA. I mean is there going to be an rc on a gba? :o I think that Graal should just stick as a computer game and leave it as that.

Didn't they stop selling Dreamcasts because the fan didnt work on it and it caught on fire alot? Mine worked fine. I mean, if this is the case then they can just fix it and release it again. I used to have one of them, a PS2, and a GC, and I have to say it rivals all of them pretty damn well.

Um, no.

They stopped selling them because the systems were expensive to produce and Sega was selling them at a loss and running themselves into the ground financially. =\

....
 

well most of you are right, Dreamcast could be consider dead
becuse the console production was stopped but in that arguement their are still games coming out for dreamcast.
(feet of fury ,kingof fighters 2003 and a few others)
and the playerbase is still big just suscribe to the planetweb dreamcast newsletter if you dont believe me ;)
anyway this topic isnt about dreamcast's rating its about a possible port.

i think it be great becuse the fanbase would love to get a new
game that could play online with (lmao a Vmu graal mini game would be phat!!!!)



anyway i never heard of one setting on fire, i heard of the player 4 port sometimes not being able to read controllers but sega will gladly fix it for ya if ya pay shiping and handling.

...Kamuii is right. I didnt believe him about what he was saying so I searched on google it says Sega Dreamcast has stopped major US production due to lack of some fund they need. yet the continue to sell strong in Forign countries,including their top selling country Japan. In Japan they have many games that aren't avabile to the US because it is already in the Japenese Language,and so many of their workers quit,so thye cant convert it. So not only is dreamcast still selling plently of consoles,it is also keeping up with video games.

In Japan the console systems are usually surviving some more years, there is online stuff for SNES too :)
We are focussing with Graal on PC, but game consoles and portable systems can be interesting in the future.

Pleasepleaseplease for all that is holy do a Graal Dreamcast port. :(

You could call it...

Graalcast!

^_____^

It was never alive. It died straight away. Its like saying lets put it on the snes... Well you couldn't go online, but you know what I mean.

Too bad over half of Graalians live in America.........and dreamcast is dead over here in the States.

Re:.....
 

um dreamcast isnt dead in the states it's still sold in stores and such and a has a huge online fanbase to this day.

*oh yeah!!!!!
since there is a game coming to gba i just rembered that the Gba
can be a webserver (www.fivemouse.com) its only for linux though xx..........

Holy hell. I want.

Uh.... Dreamcast didnt die straight away it was doing rather well at its start the only sega sys that died right away wouldve been Saturn... and the snes did good
for 6 long years i dont think we know what you mean

How much time do you mean by "straight away"?

I remember it doing quite well. PSO, football, and some other online games did well when they were released, and it had great graphics at the time.

Wasn't Ikuragua (sp?) for GC originally released in Japan on DC after it stopped production?

That would be cool. I hope sometime the people you,and unixmad work with can get the GBA version going again. I wish you guys would hire some people to help you. I know BirdBird asked if there would ever be an applaction for other people who wanted to help.

Ikaruga. It's a freaking amazing game.

Ah, I was close.

I heard it was great. Maybe I will pick it up one time over the summer.

I want to get it...but...but...I'm afraid :(

uhhm... as far as i know, dreamcast went offline last week :|

Yeah, SegaNET and the official servers did, but with a BBA or through one of the old free ISPs you can still use the PlanetWeb browsers to browse the net, download game saves and so forth. It wouldn't be very hard at all to code Graal for the DC so that it'd connect.

Isn't that a 2D shooter? If it's the game I'm thinking of, it was ungodly hard. Seriously. Hard. :x

I still have my Dreamcast, and I'd consider buying Graal if it were for the Dreamcast. o_O

Graal on anything but PC is doomed from the start.

2D, top down, vertical shooter. High resolution graphics, as you said, hard gameplay, and you switch colors during gameplay to absorb enemy bullets.

wee.

I just bought it (and Wario Ware) for my birthday.

Fun Fun, but I still am getting working on the combo system. My max is 9. :(

How far can you get? I haven't been able to beat stage 3 unfortunately.

SegaNET closed all webservers except PSO related ones.

But the webservers were only game related; I'm referring to using a Broadband Adapter or other dial-up ISP to connect to the net, something the closing of SegaNET has nothing to do with...

Heh, well someone obviously hasn't been around for very long.
Graal used to have an offline single and multiplayer mode. Man, it was soooooooooooo fun.

Recently I can get a little ways into stage three. Near the part where you race up the tower and the Toki ships bounce along the sides if you don't shoot them on the way down.
I began to lose it when they started jumping into the middle and the four to five super beams on the walls shoot in. :(

I also play with my brother sometimes, but he is a damn-bullet hogging-not releasing-chain breaking-jerk.;[

Just need to practice a bit more on it.


EDIT: Found the exact name of the "spiders".

Dreamcast was good to bad Saga was sold out to no good nintendo :mad:
It would be cool to get Graal on Palm or on cell phones :D
(Like a mini graal graal for cell phones :P)

And your saying it costs less to make it 3D and put it on PS2? lol
I'd love to play it in long car rides, planes, or even at school :)

Sega didn't sell out to Nintendo or to anybody, they just dropped out of the hardware business.
