Sega Dreamcast at 20: the futuristic games console that came too soon

• bfuller 8y ago
  Still have my dreamcast. Its become my favorite throwback console to play due to being able to easily burn any game to a cdr and play it

    Yeah, self booting cdi images helped to contribute to the piracy issue, which helped kill it faster.

      Really? I was under the impression that the Dreamcast was cracked well after its fate had been sealed by the marketplace.

        I was too. The reason it lost was PSX had way way more games than DC.

  Dreamcast had a native web browser; you could buy a full-size keyboard as well as a mouse for it; you could run NetBSD on it.

  I still love my Dreamcast despite the fact that it's almost old enough to drink. Phantasy Star Online is still one of my most favorite games ever made, and the amount of oddball games such as Toy Commander are second to none. Sadly, the disc reader seems to be going, as it makes distressing noises when loading.

  It had the best version of MVC2. One of the best/crazy fighting games ever made.

    CVS2 as well. Great games, great system.

    and NFL Blitz, at least in my opinion. The Dreamcast was very close to Sega's arcade hardware at the time, providing many "arcade perfect" ports.
