one of my favorite video game consoles of all time is celebrating its birthday today.
let's not forget some of the classic series this system birthed/had super good games on:

CRAAAAAAAZY TAXIIIIIIII
grandia
guilty gear X
jet set/grind radio
jojo's bizarre adventure fighting game
king of fighters
MvC 1 & 2
phantasy star online
pop n' music
power stone
rez
shenmue
sonic adventure series
worms armageddon & world party

dreamcast will still remain one of my favorite consoles to play on after all these years, and with DreamPi and 3rd party unofficial games still being released, i think the community will thrive for a long time.

happy birthday, dreamcast. thanks for being a great game console.

The Sega Dreamcast is like the Wii U.

Good Idea, Had some good games.
But the reputation destroyed it.

Unfortunatly for sega, it wasn't the dreamcast rep that sunk the ship, it was the Sega rep that pulled the thing under.

I don't think it was the rep.

It may have been due to the cost of producing the console itself, the volume of units they produced, and the abundant piracy.

This is and no one wanted to develop for Sega because the previous CEO was literally handicapped.

That CEO went on to be the CEO of EA BTW.

During the Sega Genesis, they just made expensive nonsense to attach itself to the console for no good reason.
 
Then the "Sega Saturn wasn't sega's future" - That handicapped CEO

So, no one trusted Sega, and they collapsed.
