10 years on: Happy Birthday Dreamcast

09/09/09. Ten years to the day that the Dreamcast launched in the west. A console that for me, was the beginning of the true console revolution with true online gaming and DLC being introduced to consoles.

As the final console from Sega, I find myself drawn back to it more than most of my old consoles, and I find mysely reminicsing more about the games and experiences I had with it. I hope i'm not the only memeber of this forum with fond memories of the Sega Dreamcast.

I bought mine off Barn, who never truly appreciated the machine. I'm glad I took that risk of buying a machine he didn't like because it introduced me to numerous games that gave me countless hours of fun.

  • Shenmue I and II
  • Skies of Arcadia
  • Chu Chu rocket
  • Phantasy Star Online
  • Jet Grind Radio
  • Metropolis Street Racer
  • Soul Calibur
  • Resident Evil: Code Veronica
  • Virtua Tennis
  • Tee Off










There are probably more I am forgetting, but there is enought to me to prove that this is a great little console. I still find myself plugging it into the TV and reliving some of it's delights, and I have even compiled a list of 25+ games I would like to buy for it sometime soon, which to me is a testament to the console.

Anyone else gonna join me in connecting it to their TV's over the next few days and basking in it's greatness?

Awesome, is it a complete coincidence that I got out the Dreamcast last night and played MSR with my brother just like old times?

R.I.P The best console ever.

Fukken loads on my first play through; I think once you get past a certain amount of failing miserably, the game realised how shite you were and just let you in without having to pass that bit, but it took a massive chunk of your game days up.

Second time through did it first time.

I loved arm wrestling and the underground fighting in Shenmue 2, but nothing beats this baby; Forklift Racing!!

Quite right! Twas awesome. Though Warehouse no 8 didn't eventually let you in because if you played past a certain date, you got the alternate ending, and the only way to do this quickly was to fail to get into the warehouse every night for about a year... Lan Di comes back to your house, finds the other mirror and kills you!

At least Angus had talent and died in agony. I wouldn't mind but N64 shat all over Sega's shitcunt of a machine. And you know it.

This game was so good. More or less, Dreamcast's answer to Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. but I found it just as good, if not better.

Really enjoyed Marvel vs Capcom but cannot believe it was number 1 ahead of Shenmue.

I never owned a Dreamcast but I knew people who did and have played on one a few times before. The only game I remember enjoying was Crazy Taxi, partly because it was a fun game and also because it had a few Offspring songs on the soundtrack. I remember playing Ecco the Dolphin on a Dreamcast inside a cinema once, think it was one of the West End ones. It was terrible.

I remember play some footy game on it round a mates. Virtual Soccer?

Are people being ironic calling it the best console ever?
