I'll always have fond memories of it. I'll never part with it like ALL the consoles that I grew up with. They're all neatly packed away in the original boxes that they came in. Yes, I was a hardcore gamer who was formerly a console fanboy till I fell in love with PC gaming so now it's one love-console and PC gaming get equal love from me;)]]>Sep 9th 2009 10:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/Sep 9th 2009 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/Sep 9th 2009 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/Sep 9th 2009 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/Sep 9th 2009 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/Sep 9th 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/
Man I love Dreamcast. I still have a stack of games and my old dreamcast with a VGA-box just to play Marvel VS Capcom 2 and various other great games every once in a while :) Dreamcast had a great translation of MVC2, and Shenmue is still awesome! (damn toy collecting is addictive!)]]>Sep 9th 2009 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/Sep 9th 2009 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/
[Flashback]
It was the Christmas of ’99. My parents knew I wanted a Dreamcast that year, but I never pushed getting it because I simply never expected to get it. Christmas came. I started opening gifts as usual, and when it came to the last gift it was a small box. It certainly wasn’t going be a Dreamcast. Opening the box there was a card.

“Read the card”, my father said with a smile
“Check the laundry room,” the card read.

I rushed to laundry room and open the doors to find a Dreamcast sitting on the washer. I was shocked, and in awe my parents got me it. I was truly surprised and was one happy kid.
[/Flashback]


The Dreamcast has so many great titles and lesser known ones that are truly one a kind:
Soul Calibur has to one of the best 3D fighting games that ever came out during that era. Capcom vs. SNK2, Last Blade 2, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and a slew of other 2D fighting games which are simply fantastic. JetSet Radio, the first game that utilized cell shading which lead the way for other games like Legend of Zelda, Wind Waker. Other games like Taxi Driver, a crazy fun driving game, albeit a repetitive one. And the Dreamcast had direct arcade game ports of SHUMPS (2D flying shooting games) like Border Down & Ikaruga which no other console has done since.

Although my Dreamcast sits less than a 2ft from me and is rarely played as much as it used to be, it has been an awesome console, even if it stupid loud when reading discs. Props to SEGA for making a fine console! Although it was short live, it's still one of the best consoles ever made]]>Sep 10th 2009 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/Sep 10th 2009 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/Sep 9th 2009 7:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/It had too many GOOD games released in a very short time, it didn't live long but when it was alive it was Awesome! ]]>Sep 9th 2009 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/

You wanna know what DC game I wish would get a port/remake? I-Spy/Espionagents. It wasn't great, true, but it had a good concept that was just executed really poorly. Failing that, a port of Grandia II that doesn't suck ass would be nice.]]>Sep 9th 2009 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/
of course I forgot Headhunter got a Port on the PS2 (So long ago) It didn't handle very well and I definitely remember that vehicles and aiming. But I did love the missions and storyline although if it had been more of a sandbox it could have been a classic. I never owned that game but often played it round a friends it was executed poorly but I definitely agree the concept was brilliant.

Another game I'm thinking of now is Chu Chu Rocket :P what a game that was (1st game I ever played online)]]>Sep 9th 2009 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/Sep 9th 2009 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/09/segas-dreamcast-turns-10-inspires-us-to-find-that-vmu-and-fini/
