Wildly ahead of its time, deserved so much better. The memory stick being like a tamagotchi, that's an amazing idea. I could never figure out how to make it work but raising the Chao from Sonic Adventure, so much unrealised potential.
loved mine should never have sold it they were eons ahead of their time way more advanced graphically than anything at that time in the console market and the internet play I never could try as it was totally uneconomically viable, but had SEGA hung on and survived and the online side took off they'd probably be king at this point and still pumping out new true next gen console hardware instead of Android and IOS apps and re-boot mini consoles of the original megadrive and so on? Damn shame they flopped with the Dreamcast, but I loved mine had it a a week after release day I think it was.
Playing pso with my homies every night. I remember having to dig up free dial up ISPs every week so we could all connect. Really wish it came with Ethernet support out of the box.
But man we'd play so much pso. The game seemed so much bigger back then. Looking at it now, there wasn't really that much content there.
An amazing controller. I had not the chance to play it at the time, but the first impressions of the controller 10 years ago was incredible. I bought a Dreamcast shortly after :). I just ordered a GDEmu yesterday, can’t wait to get it :D.
I remember playing NBA something on the Dreamcast kiosk at Best Buy. I remember thinking how advanced the technology was but how goofy the controller was
First console I downloaded dlc on (Skies of Arcadia)
First game I uploaded my own content for (Jet Grind Radio)
First console I emulated games on (Genesis and NES)
First console I downloaded and burnt discs of full games (too many)
I got this at a weird time in my life when I was going from teen to adult. It was the first console I had where I had a bunch of games that worked for money to buy myself and also did not have enough time to finish and completely flip.
This is perfect! I just downloaded a bunch of Dreamcast games to play. Both Sonic Adventures, Crazy Taxis, and Bass Fishings. Jet (Grind) Set Radio and Seaman (what a weird but fascinating game). For my partner and I, Gauntlet Legends, Dynamite Cop, Zombies Revenge, and maybe some more
I grabbed the PowerStone collection on PSP for the smaller file size, and I don't think my partner will want to play it. I'll show them, and download the Dreamcast copies if necessary
