About
9-9-99 will be a day long remembered by Sega fans as the day that Sega redeemed themselves from a lackluster support of the Saturn by releasing the sleek, advanced 128 bit Dreamcast in the US. Aggressively priced at $199, the system initially did well and featured several exclusives that still hold up today in terms of graphics and gameplay. Even though the system succumbed to the might of the Playstation 2, The Dreamcast left its mark by offering free online play for several notable games (Phantasy Star Online being the best remembered), amazing arcade ports, and, giving us the 2K sports line. This console has an almost fanatical following among Sega fans, who sing it’s praises to this day. It had a unique data storage system, as the memory cards contained a mini LCD display that augmented gameplay, or which could be loaded with mini games to play on the go. This console also uses fairly standard, unencrypted CD-ROM media, making it very popular for homebrew emulators and ports of open source games.
