Yeah they were. I love the ps1's sound when the game starts up. The ps2 was great, too- it automatically loaded a game- but, the dreamcast, in all honesty, is the best way to get around menus. If a menu is stil up when you put a game in, just press all the shoulder buttons (l and r), and you'll be taken out of it, I think. I haven't played mine in a while- but its a great system. I love it. Mortal kombat games rock on there. An oldy but a goody, as they say. I will never sell mine. Only thing that sucks is, instead of the fan giving heat to all the circuits, the dreamcast has a fan because its working damn hard (so do! not! cover! the! vents). The PS2 and xbox could live without it for a while, but the dreamcast can't. Covering the fan will result in fire, not could, but will. I had it happen to me. the ps2 is fine for about 5 or 10 minutes, and the xbox about 5. I haven't tested this- but people have told me- but it happened with an old dreamcast of mine. The fan is absolutely required to keep it cool- oh btw. The dreamcast memory card beeps if its in a controller when you turn on the system. (Don't worry about not knowing where your controllers are!). BUt back to the fan. Notice when you move through selections on the dreamcast, the fan temp changes, etc. The ps2's fan is actually quiet- I had my ps2 sitting 5 days non stop, because I owned no memory card, and it worked flawlessly. The dreamcast will get rather hot, but it'll do ok if left for a while. But since memory cards go for around five bucks, I can't complain.
