Welcome to the Sega Dreamcast Imports Section. All of these Sega Dreamcast Imports are either North American (NTSC) or Japanese (JAP) Dreamcast Imports, which means that if you do not have the appropriate console, they will not run unless you have a Region Boot Disk or a Modified Dreamcast Console. I can supply these, and they can be found in the Sega Dreamcast Hardware section or the Sega Dreamcast Consoles section. If you do not already have a Boot disk, I will provide it *free of charge* with any imported game - let me know if you need one when you order. Please enquire beforehand if you are unsure about which games will run on your console.
Ikaruga (Sega Dreamcast) He must battle fiercely, move swiftly and act rationally in a new war, a space crusade of frighteningly intense firepower and hypnotic beauty. Take control of the ship Ikaruga — alter your energy field, evade epic maelstroms of fire and terminate enemies with a nearly limitless arsenal — all to protect an aging, exiled people. Bear in mind also that the Dreamcast outputs 480p with virtually every title whereas only a small number of PS2 games support 480p and GameCube/Xbox support depends on your region (being in a PAL region, no GameCube or Xbox games support 480p for me, so the Dreamcast always comes out on top).
If you are looking for European/Australian PAL realeases, we have a great selection of PAL Sega Dreamcast Games in the Sega Dreamcast Games. All games have been cleaned as described in the Care of Second Hand Games section. If you are a collector of import games, please take a look at our other Japanese Video Game Imports.
The difference between Console Passion and other retro gaming shops is that all the games I sell are complete, and in good condition. Unless stated otherwise, all the games below are all boxed, with instructions. If you are not happy with the condition of a game you buy from me - send it back, and I'll give you a refund or a replacement.
Please be patient while the images load.
