The Sega Dreamcast turns 10 years old today. I know what I was doing ten years ago; working at the local Boys and Girls club after school and saving my pennies. When the Dreamcast came out I strutted down to Wal-Mart and plopped down my $200 or so and went home with my dream console. Oddly enough, they were all out of Sonic Adventures, so I bought Power Stone 2, and was very happy with it.

Lets all go over to ThinkGeek today and buy a brand new Dreamcast in the box for $99, and remember how awesome this console actually was. Continue reading to watch a cool video on the rise and fall of the Sega Dreamcast.

  • I gave up on Sega after the Genesis (though I did buy a 32x on clearance from Toys R Us for $20).

    I didn’t have faith in them to put for a new system after the way Genesis was mishandled its last few years. I didn’t think the Saturn would work and I didn’t think the Dreamcast would work either.

    I had a friend who owned the Dreamcast though and he raved about it, though I never played for it any games for it that wowed me.
