I just recently picked up a Sega Dreamcast for about 35 bucks at my local Play n Trade and I gotta say, I'm in love with the thing. I cannot believe the console failed the way it did, it was so ahead of it's time and Sega really outdid themselves. Although, I do in a way understand why it did fail. Sega fans were still pissed about the Saturn, PS2 was coming, and no DVD drive. It had some fantastic games though! Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Shenmue, Sonic Adventure, Powerstone, etc. etc. The graphics on this machine at the time were unheard of and the VMU memory card was a neat idea! Online capabilities, web browser, I could go on and on of all the things I love about this console. I can even say I like it more than the Genesis. It saddens me to see Sega no longer making consoles, but I'm glad to see they left the scene with such a fantastic one. I just wish it would have lasted longer than a little under 2 years here in America.
Dreamcast, I salute you!
