One of my favorite systems. It was much better then people said. And my favorite - TO THIS DAY - controller. Sadly, I went on vacation for a couple weeks and it must of somehow got turned on while i was gone, and when I came back it was melted on the left side. *sigh* R.I.P. Dreamcast.

i always looked at the xbox as carrying on segas legacy

the controllers and button layout are similar to DC

the idea of an internal memory card comes from saturn

so many game franchises came to xbox from DC
-Shenmue
-Jet Set Radio
-House of the Dead
-Sega GT
-Sonic (yeah its on the other systems, but screw them)
-Crazy Taxi (see above)

even some of the on-disc security measures were used on dreamcast


my first true "casemod" (sortof) was changing my DC LED to blue, lol

grr.gif I ended up buying it again a month later for half of what I sold it for and have kept it to this day. biggrin.gif  It's outlasted my Ps2 and Xbox. Sega, much like Nintendo, knew how to make a console that lasts longer than the 90-day warranty.

The Dreamcast was truly ahead of its time. The VMU was perhaps THE peripheral that had the greatest potential but was the most underutilized of any system to date. Online experiences through the BBA were great on supporting games, and the video resolution through the vga box was equally as amazing.

oh boy, never got a dreamcast but i would go over to my friends house who had it and we played 12 hours a day trying to beat sonic and shemue 2 or w/e. jeeez good times.  

too bad we cant make an emulator for the dc yet but with the next gen we can! sweet.

i still would take a modded xbox in heart beat over DC. Dc had the games but  xbox is still a step ahead.

I simply love to play dreamcats online i still do

http://dreamcast.onlineconsoles.com/

Besides that the dc main downfall was being able to boot copied games without any modifications. although sega later fixed this it was to late becuase ps2 was on lying about there specs { this is a known fact }. Thats why i have come to hate sony not to mention there craptacular console quality. 2 ps2s both broke one xbox three years and still going strong

I'd have to say that the Dreamcast is hands own my favorite console.  When I was in college, near the end of the DC's life a HUGE video rental place near my school was going out of business and had some ridiculous prices on used games... after speaking to the owner I bought their entire Dreamcast section for a couple hundred bucks (worked out to about $2 a game I think)... There were a lot of duplicates which I sold on eBay and made a good portion of my money back, needless to say I have an enormous DC collection...

I still play it regularly, probably more often them My Xbox, GC, or PS2.
There are just SO many good games and nearly EVERY genre. The Xbox is known as the Console FPS king but hell the DC had Unreal Tournament, Quake III Arena, Outtrigger, and Halflife, not to mention native keyboard and mouse support... it doesn't get much better than that.

I also agree that the VMU was one of the best console peripherals ever made, My biggest disappointment with current gen and next gen consoles is that none of them carried the torch of the VMU legacy, Heck with the tech we have today we could put a full color LCD in the controller, it's great for poker games and sports games...

Man I wish they were still making DC games....
