Revisiting Sega's Dreamcast
We rank every single US-released DC title with new impressions, screens
and video.
by The Floigan Bros.
May 30, 2006 - It's a date Sega fans will never forget -- 9.9.99. It
was a day of promise, a day for dreams. Sega had been through a rough
patch, having failed financially with the Sega Saturn. The high-priced
console never caught on in the U.S., but the affordable (and powerful)
Dreamcast was certain to be a different story. Price at just $200 bucks
and launched with more than a dozen titles, the Dreamcast was destined
to return Sega to prominence. It was a time of great hope for Sega
lovers.
History would have you believe the Dreamcast went quietly into the
night several years later. We say, f@#$ history.
As Sega fans, we just can't let the system die. The Dreamcast tallied
roughly 250 games released in the U.S. We're going to play every last
one of them and provide you with new impressions, screens and videos.
How have Sega's classic games held up over the past few years and, more
importantly, which are still worth playing? One by one, we'll examine
the entire DC library to answer those questions. It's going to kick
XXX.
So sit back and enjoy the sweet beep of your dead VMU battery. Even
though your friends and family may believe the Dreamcast is dead, rest
assured, it's thinking...

Hmm, maybe they'll do a better job of not going nuts over every frame
dropped and counting every polygon like they did the first time around.
Sony fans know they dropped that stuff in October of 2000...

Sarcasm aside, I'll be checking this one out, it should result in a
truly good presentation of just how "current gen" the Dreamcast library
is. They'll have to be careful though, pushing things too far will
cause Xbox 360 developers to look bad for porting PS2 games to it
without significant changes to legitimize a next gen release. That is,
after all, what most 3rd party releases on the Dreamcast were, PS1, N64
and PC games which made the system look like a stop gap.

Yup. It will continue to work fine as a mem card and the screen will
still work in-game, just won't beep.
