Video Game History Month: Sega Dreamcast

Fantastic system! Were it not for the Dreamcast my brother and I would not have become as passionate about gaming as we are today. So many great games and so many great memories. Thanks Sega for giving us all that you did!

Dreamcast was just plain awesome. I remember when it came out, I didn't have it pre-ordered and I REALLY wanted one after seeing screenshots of Sonic Adventure. I couldn't believe how amazing the graphics looked and was a little jealous being a massive Nintendo fanboy at the time. I went to every video game/electronics store in my town looking for it and it was, of course, sold out. After checking the stores in the mall with no luck, I remembered that in the mall's Sears store there was, at the time, this ridiculously tiny video game counter with two glass cases(of course it's now part of the electronics section) in the boy's clothing section. I figured that since it was so small and actually kind of hidden behind a wall when facing a certain way that I might luck out. That was one of the best choices I ever made because they actually had one left. The second I saw that gorgeous box in the glass case my heart skipped a beat and I nabbed the console, Sonic Adventure and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing without a second's hesitation. Definitely one of my favorite video gaming memories. Much better than the day I got my Gamecube which involved me waiting in line out front Toys R' Us in the freezing cold for 3 hours.

I love this console, :) It doesnt even have to get new games for me, PSO all the way still gives me all the enjoymen I need lol :P

Loooooved my Dreamcast! I would still buy games for it if they would release them. It's sad when they just give up on the software side of it when the sales die out, as if there aren't Dreamcast owners out there craving for more games. I know why they made the decision financially, but how about throwing us a bone once in a while Sega? I am hyped for Sturmwind but it would be nice if Sega spent a small bit of resources to show gratitude for Sega loyalists if you will.

Why did they have to take the Dreamcast from me? Why did they do that? Can't they keep make more and more games? :(

Hilarious cut-off of Brendan there. :P I like to think of this as his pay-back for having yakked about certain GameSpot staffers who couldn't stop talking about things that they like. :D (If you have listened to the HotSpot episodes, you would know who I am referring to.)

Never had one until 2 years ago, but it's a great console to play even today. Wish I got a chance to play it online though.
