Who knew a little gray box could change gaming forever, and welcome the online gaming community we know today? It doesn't deserve all the hate it gets. It has a screen on it's controller, that also works as a memory card! DC was made in 1998, and it took them until 2012, the WiiU, to recreate a screen on that controller! That's 14 years! The Dreamcast was truly awesome. It was a collaboration of Microsoft and SEGA. Microsoft made the computer specs and gave them to SEGA free of charge, while SEGA built the rest and created the UI we know and love today. It was too bad Microsoft screwed over their own partner and made their own system. They used SEGA as a lab rat! They only used them! After the PS2 and XBOX Original both screwed over the DC, the DC changed forever. Please, let this be a reminder of what was truly lost! We will all miss you very much DC, I hope you know that! Anyone who just tl;dr this, is just selfish. :(

The Gamecube had 2 screens in 2001 GBA + GCN The DS had 2 screen in 2005 My PC had 2 screens back before that and the Gameboy was a temporary memory card with more screen and batteries lasted longer |

Yes but the DC was all one system, not two seperate ones! I am talking about consoles, smart guy. *sarcasm on the smart guy* Once again, talking about gaming consoles like SEGA SONY MICROSOFT and NINTENDO Key word: "temporary"

Not if the memory is only temporary, and the battery dies on it and you have to put batteries / charge it all the time. With the DC memory card, you don't have to charge it all the time! In-fact, you can play minigames on the DC memory card based on the game data you have, and take it anywhere! It's 2 systems packed into 1!

Sure it wasn't a flop, but the DC wasn't exactly a failure. Like I said, it made a huge impact on internet gaming. I'll just say this, the Dreamcast was the prototype of your favorite little Microsoft device, the XBOX. The XBOX was in some cases the prototype to the XBOX 360. Without the DC, the 360 wouldn't have XBOX Live. BOOM! Did I just blow your mind?

Dreamcast was one of my first consoles. Me and my dad used to play it together when I was little and still do every once and a while. Power Stone, House of the Dead, Soul Calibur, Sonic Adventure, Jet Set Radio, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure were my childhood. Those games might explain why I'm into so many weird things now like anime and manga and stuff. |

See? People like Japantsu and I understand the true value of the DC. Please stop lashing out on it, I just wanted to take this day to remember it.

Possibly the games that sold for the system. Resident Evil was on DC, so was Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, Worms, Crazy Taxi, all the good games at the time.
