The Dreamcast is still my all time favorite console and probably always will be at this point. I got the console shortly after it launched in 1999 and have so many wonderful memories of playing it, buying and receiving new games on it, and just being a part of all the hype and awesomeness around it during its tragically short life span. I consider myself extremely lucky to have experienced the console when it was new and relevant. |

Power stone 1 & 2 for me I could have said skies of arcadia as it's one of my favourite rpg's of all time but It's better played on cube. |

Dreamcast was a great system. I remember getting it at launch on 9.9.99. A friend/roommate of mine came with me as the closest videogame store was an hour's drive away, he was my ride. We had to wait until midnight so we went to the nearby Applebees for some food. Time came near and we went and got in line for the midnight launch. I got the system, Sonic Adventure, Blue Stinger and of course, Soul Caliber with it as well as an extra controller and a VMU. For preordering, I even got a solid orange t-shirt with the logo in white on the front. We drove home pretty hyped to get it plugged in and we played Soul Caliber till about 3 in the morning. The very next day was the first day of my senior year of high school. I proudly wore my Dreamcast shirt. I appreciated that Sega took chances on many games back then. Favorites were Resident Evil Code Veronica (still needing a remake of that one Capcom)... and of course, Shenmue. In fact, Shenmue is still one of my favorite videogames series of all time regardless that we still don't have a damn ending. I just finished my Shenmue shadowbox for my wall of fame about a week ago or so. I've uploaded a couple photos of it in my gallery if you want to check it out: https://vgcollect.com/gallery/Telekill Sad that Dreamcast had such a short lifespan, and even sadder that it was Sega's hardware swansong. |

I have some good memories getting one at launch and owning some of the launch titles, as well as Shenmue. But my brother had convinced me we didn't need to buy game anymore, because he figured out how to just burn everything. Naturally, he didn't really give a crap what games I wanted so I never saw anything come of that, but shortly after that he caught wind of Fantasy Star Online and that was the end of me ever getting a chance to go near our Dreamcast. After saving up, I chose to get a PS2 instead of another Dreamcast, so that's kinda where my memories of the console end, sadly. Aside from buying "The Spirit of Speed" when KB Toys was liquidating all Dreamcact because I had no idea what I was doing. Still kick myself for that, I probably could have had any Dreamcast game for like $10 each. Ignorance isn't bliss! |
