Happy 20th anniversary of the Sega Dreamcast

[Sypress]

As a kid I loved going to the arcades

Dreamcast was bringing the arcade home

Remember, arcade ports were mostly ass back then and arcade perfect was rare for newer titles.

Playing marvel vs Capcom, soul caliber, and sf3 at home, which were better versions of the game, was just

Fighting games were just great on this system but the one I put the most time on was Capcom vs snk



Maaaannnn I just love the presentation in the game the music and the stages
Playing RE with a vmu and being able to see your health on the screen

The jump from n64 to Dreamcast was like vhs to DVD. Sonic adventure 1 and 2, crazy taxi, per Stone, jet set radio, ready 2 rumble boxing, NBA, NFL, blitz, and so on

And the marketing lol 9.9.99 and it's thinking
Good times

I remember playing nba 2k the first time thinking this is the first time i game seems kinda real where the players looked more distinguishable. Back in the day on Bulls vs Blazers for Genesis i remember Oakley and Ewing looked identical

Hyrdo Thunder

Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, the Sega smashpack with the og sonic games and streets of rage 2

I loved the Dreamcast but i had 3 or 4 if them break on me

Id buy another one, i still have games and controllers but i just dont trust them

Edit

Nba showtime, Vigilante 8

The previous poster was on point when he mentioned how improved the graphics were over n64 and ps1. It was a great time

I didn't grow up with a Dreamcast
I played Jet Set Radio a couple of years back when they were giving it away on Steam though.
I felt 12 years old again again playing through that game...
It's just something about that game's whole aesthetic, its soundtrack, its art style, and just the swag that game exudes that makes you nostalgic for the early 2000s



Piranha is the GOAT.



It's a real shame the Dreamcast didn't last longer than it did. All those arcade-perfect fighting game ports
The 6th gen was such a lit time for videogames, looking back

Funky Radio is one of my favorite songs of all time, not just video game songs...that is a legitimately elite level album of music.

Honestly, of all retro systems outside the tg16, I've been wishing for Sega to drop Saturn and Dreamcast classics. The Saturn would probably never happen, but I have hope for the Dreamcast

I had a binder filled with games. It was a wrap once I found out how easy it was to burn them.

Now this is a console that deserves a classic console remake.

I’d actually buy it. Missed opportunity imo.

I remember I saved up and bought a used Dreamcast just for sonic adventure 2. I think I had that and wwe royal rumble and a demo disk with power stone.

power stone and sonic were amazing to me at the time. I also remember being astonished the console could get online. Vmu was a pretty cool concept. I’d take my shyt to school and play with my chao.


shyt felt next level but as soon as I saw the ffx and Devil May cry commercials for ps2, I knew I had to hop back on the winning side real quick.

I sold the dream cast a couple years into the ps2 life cycle and bought a used ps2. I still have fond memories of dream cast tho. I just did not have money to keep it around unfortunately. I think my aunt has one in storage. Been meaning to get it from her. I’d like a black one tho.

Bought a Dreamcast with my first ever cheque from hustling online (made a website hosting FIFA downloads).

It's still in front of my TV as a reminder that I work so I can buy toys.

Damn it's been 20 years. Dreamcast had a bunch of good games . Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, NBA 2k & NFL 2k, Power Stone 1 & 2, MvC 1 & 2

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

I still have mine plugged up. Not to the main television but to one of my pc monitors but I boot it up from time to time.

 

[patscorpio]

i never had one..but my then best friend did...dude loved that shyt..shyt was next level about damn near everything

 

[Ziggiy]

Why did Sony ultimately bush it and go to being games only? I thought the Dreamcast sold decently

Dreamcast itself sold not bad at all, the problem is that sins past came to collect for all the fukk ups sega made. Saturns failures really...REALLY hurt their stocks and Dreamcast putting up solid numbers just wasn’t enough to sustain the company. And then it didn’t help with some of the shyt working against them like EA refusing to put content on the console and their dumbass views on RPGs being the reason the console only had like 4 solid ones.

Got my launch day Dreamcast still & fired it up yesterday. Played MvC 2, Mark of the Wolves, Guilty Gear X, Capcom vs SNK 2, Crazy Taxi, Virtua Tennis, & DOA2

First and last console I ever pre-ordered. Scooped one up again in 2015. Just finished Shenmue 2 a few months ago.
