The Sega Dreamcast was by far the most innovative console ever created

[Threnody]

At home I'd play Sega systems and then go to arcades for years that was it

Now both are gone forever


Sega even put out classic Hip-Hop

1 day will get a HD Mini with online multiplayer

I remember I used to play 2K and my old college roommates used to be on the keyboard talking shyt to my opponents.

idk how they couldnt stay afloat

The Sega Saturn damaged their relationship with retailers and publishers and Sega of America and Sega of Japan couldn't make cohesive decisions.

 

[Lord Bison]

Sega was the blackest video game company ever. I miss them sorely


I'm glad their legacy is still intact and can't wait to play Shenmue I and II this week

 

[Roid Jones]

Never bought a legit copy of a DC game

Playing that Sonic Adventure demo and the whale starts chasing you
The music in Crazy Taxi

ALL I WANT! ALL I WANT!

Still got mine but it just stopped working for some reason.

GOAT console :mjhandcry: so ahead of its time, so much fun, so groundbreaking :mjhandcry:

fukk Sony for cutting its life short

It wasnt Sony. Sega fighting with its American division fukked them over. Alot of useless projects. Alot of missed opportunity. By the time the Dreamcast released they were on their last legs. So the games being so easy to pirate and the console needed basically no modifications to play burned games fukked it over big time. Sony came thru with PS2 with the DVD player and it was a nail in the coffin. Dreamcast is one of the GOAT consoles of all time.

not sure how the emulation is for this system but i heard it is not great. let me know if the emulation for PC is good for this system.

ps: if you still have the hard ware, here is a HDMI connection -

It only lasted a half of a generation yet it's impact is still felt today

It was the first console to have a modem built in (America at least)

They created their own isp (Seganet) what that means to anyone too young to remember, we got our internet from our phone providers back then And there wasn't cellphone data or even portable internet at this time

It ENCOURAGED the use of mice/keyboards so games like quake 3 arena was possible

They taught you coding and if you wanted to create your own VMU games you could and then you could publish them via the seganet portal.

They created 2k

Shenmue

Seaman

Tech Romancer (Nothing really innovative here, I just remember liking it)

Skies of Arcadia is still the best RPG I've ever played, they had a VGA adaptor that made the game look 4k. I say that because today's gaming isn't as vibrant color wise as I remember that game on a monitor.

I could go on but I'll let others contribute to why it was so innovative

It's the one console missing in my collection.. It was the one that made me feel like you genuinely could get Arcade level experience/quality (so the arcades with the arcade machines) at home

Virtua Tennis 2


Might be hitting eBay up for that once fall comes around brehs...

No EA support was a big reason as to why it failed, but it gave us 2K Sports

Half Life and Max Payne being cancelled was pretty much it for the console as far as 3rd party AAA titles were concerned. Too damn bad because it was ahead of it's time.

People were selling brand new Dreamcast games for $5 near the end

 

[Take the stairs]

Skies of Arcadia was that shyt

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Tru story (for once).

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Sega Dreamcast was so on point

When I first saw NFL 2K
