Of course I had one! Groundbreaking console, really. I met a lot of cool people on seganet. And booting unauthorized discs full of nes and snes roms without having to do any hardware modification was just awesome!

Half-Life Gold was ground breaking. If that had gone public, there is no telling what it could have done for the DC.

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

Comparing MS to SEGA is a very stupid mistake to make, the Dreamcast was doing well its just that SEGA didn't have enough money (and toooooo much debt) to support the Dreamcast and decided to stop supporting the console.

It was my first consle. I loved it. But then it came to an early end. Which is very dissaponting. Damn you PS2! I LOVED Sonic Adventure 2. I played it at least 50 times over the course of 1 year. My favorite charater was Shadow. Im going to buy Shadow the Hedgehog when it comes out.

I bought one at it's U.S. release and waited 6 months for something good to come out for it. I got impatient and sold it only to have a whole bunch of good games release a couple weeks later.

I ended up buying it again a month later for half of what I sold it for and have kept it to this day.

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....

it would be cool if M$ made like an external VMU for its controllers...

I love my little dreamcast. I honestly cried when I read the article in a magazine that they were canceling it. Im mad about the piracy, but love it all the same...
My favorite game to play was Powerstone. I felt so free in that game. It seems really hard to move around in fighting games today (especially DOA).
I know Half Life never was released, but I saw it on a torrent once. I thought it was fake, but do any of you know where to get it? Half Life with updated graphics on a console would rock.

Man, you gotta luv the memory of those days when you spent hours and hours playnig PSO...(sniff,sniff)...

wow! 230 games is impressive.
i have over 60, about half of them being imports.
i imported my first dreamcast before it hit here in the states(still playing it). it was a reasonable $300 from Japan and my first game was Sonic Adventure. my next game was Soul Calibur 2. that game blew me away like none before it. after showing that game to friends, everyone had to have a dreamcast.
i got a north american dreamcast on launch day and picked up NFL 2K and trickstyle(very underrated!). it was about a month later that someone came up with a swap method for playing imports.
if it weren't for the awesome mods that can be done on the xbox, i would say the dreamcast is my favorite of all time. the games were sooooo good. VF3, power stone, capcom fighters, RE: CV, skies of arcadia, shenmue, grandia, sega rally, crazy taxi, house of the dead 2, sega gt, and on and on and on.

REZ and Ikaruga.
What else is there to say really. My favourite console of all time. I so wish they were style making games for it. I picked up Border Down and I wish I had picked up Trizeal so I could have the last ever game. Just while writing this post I remembered Propellar Arena. I actually really enjoyed that game, shame it never got released and of course Power Stone! I still have all of my import DC games and consoles. Nothing beats REZ in VGA through a booming sound system! One of the most addictive games ever which was only recently rivaled by Lumines, which was also by Tetsuya Mizuguchi. AAAH! Cosmic Smash! Awesome game and Virtua Tennis, Virtual On, Takoushi Battle, F355 Challenge, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Shenmue, Dead or Alive 2 (technically superior to the ps2 version), Soul Caliber, Bio Hazard: Code Veronica, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi and many, many more.
As you can probably tell I'm writing this as I think it. Sorry if it's hard to follow.

I still have 3, One black sega sports

one grey and a led modded one. Skies of Arcadia is a awsome title, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 one the DC was the best fighter before it was ported to every console. Power Stone 2 one of the greatest party games. House of the Dead 2 with the light guns

Grandia 2 was one of my Fave RPG's and still is. Way to many great titles on this system, Oh yeah I forgot about Fire Pro Wrestling D one of the best wrestlers ever awsome stuff and poyo pop fever (one of the games me and my Girl can play)

I remember getting a DreamCast around the year they first came out. Great system and I really got hooked on the homebrew scene. Alas tho, I ended up selling all of my DreamCast hardware & software a few months ago. It was sitting in a box, and I never touched it for at least 2 years. So since I got a PS2/XBOX, I sold it... made a decent penny too, since it was all in mint condition...
Long Live the Dreamcast.. but I'll never play/pick one up again.
