[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;45939838]Looking at the lifetime of the Dreamcast is depressing. For the first few months it sold really well, better than a console coming off the Saturn had any right to do, it had good games, and was the most powerful machine of its generation for a while. And then a few months into its promising life the PS2 came along and smothered it to death.
In a world where Sony didn't decide to make their own console, the Dreamcast probably would have won that generation. I never owned a Dreamcast but I've always wanted one, and some day I'll buy one and love it along with my Megadrive.[/QUOTE]
It's hard to say if it would've won if not for the PS2, as it still would've had all the graphics-hype of the Gamecube and X-Box to compete against. Its main selling point then would've been the price, as it was the cheapest console of that generation IIRC.
But man, I loved that little machine. The disc-reading mechanism was a tad loud, but I have so many fond memories of Soul Caliber and Vigilante: 2nd Offense on that thing. Good thing I still have two of them. :v:
One of the only consoles I never owned, still seems mysterious to me
Went from N64 - PS2

Sega sports Dreamcast best Dreamcast[/QUOTE]

Never owned a DC, I was a Sony kid around the time. I still give it props for being a little kick ass gaming console though.
- First Console to have a modem built in right out of the box
- The Huge fucking Sale Bonanza it had right off the get go
- Specialized Discs that held 25% more data then the PS2
- Windows CE / DirectX Always was up to date since it was all on the disc
- A Half Life port that would of had better graphics then the PC version

A friend of mine has that game. Looked pretty cool.
[QUOTE=ZnT00;45935356]I still have one of these, fully functioning, with several games for it.[/QUOTE]
I bought one for $50 with Sword of the Berserker and Sonic Adventure. Still works. Haven't beat those game though.
I still have mine, it has the best version of Soul Reaver on it.
Plus I just love the style of it.
this fucking game is the reason i loved the dreamcast:

Actually, the PS2 used DVDs, while Dreamcast used a special CD-ROM with increased capacity. :eng101:

GD-Roms. Still didn't stop people from playing burned CDs however.
let's not forget about bleemcast!, the PS1 emu
I should plug my Dreamcast back in and play something, but I don't know what to play.

If you want homebrwe, the Half-Life total conversion They Hunger is a standalone Dreamcast game.
