Sega and Nintendo try diffrent styles and New Things, Nintendo more with console and sega with games. Something playstation Lose after the ps2 everythibg is now safe game like 99% pc ports
Sega back in the early 2000’s had so much potential and if they played there cards right could have been the 4th pillar today of gaming, a lot of there games from back then are trapped on there original consoles and never seen a modern re release, I love and miss old Sega
Thanks to smoking weed while zoning out on RUclips for bringing me this. And shout out to John Lillly for Cetacean Nation, getting blasted on lsd and trying to communicate with dolphins. Couldn't get Ecco without you, happy heavenly birthday
Y2K was about to fully take on when 9/11 hit. That’s when the culture shifted from futuristic utopia visions to everything being dominated by the military industrial complex.
I love JSR despite me not being a Dreamcast kid and discovering JSR thanks to Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing due to Beat's inclusion alongside the music and tracks, to this day The Concept of Love is engrained into my head due to that game lmao. I'd also heavy recommend to check out Burning Rangers from the Saturn, the second Sonic Team game made for the platform after Nights and pretty cool concept of a game with an absolute banging soundtrack.
Love the video my dude! Makes me regret selling my Dreamcast a year or so ago 😅 I was really big on fighting games on the Dreamcast, but I did play a few of the weirder games on there as well. I've been a fan of Sega since the Genesis, so they have a special place in my heart.
Lovely video, very well done. I must say, the nostalgia really came flooding back when you brought up Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future. I remember playing it at a friend's house (I think they had the PS2 version) and just being in awe at the graphics, atmosphere and opening sequence...after playing many intense matches on Def Jam: Vendetta, it was very therapeutic lol Another weird game that comes to mind is ILLBLEED
Haha from Def Jam to Ecco is definitely an intense transition! 😂 But I was actually looking to check out ILLBLEED, I’ll be sure to do so now 😁 Thank you for watching!
So the reason why the Dreamcast version of Space Channel 5 seems harder and less responsive is because it's designed for CRT tvs. Their refresh rates are much slower so the game is programmed with a delay to make up for it. If you use a modern TV the lag will make you miss inputs. Parappa and other rhythm games of the time also have this issue.
echo the dolphins music is truely iconic of the y2k era you heard that genre everywhere .. commercials tv series and games i remember playing it just the music.. as for segas best game to me its still yakuza 1 and 2 at least its the first ones that come to mind.
The music definitely stood out to me! I actually added a few songs to my chill playlist 😅 As for yakuza, I’m definitely looking to dip my toes into the series more. I’ve been enjoying Yakuza 0 so far!
@@Vynsent i recommend yakuza 1 and 2 on the ps2 they had their flaw but they are the best in the series imo even tho they are the older than 0 they are still way better there are alos the kiwami remakes but i prefer the music of the original.. i can explain further but ill let you experience them blind
Barring the 1st game's decidedly mid remake, the Panzer Dragoon series is by far my favorite Sega series (and only behind Kirby overall). The setting and aesthetic is still truly unique even after almost three decades. Also riding laser dragons is just super fun.
It says something about the quality of a franchise that you describe the inevitable "bad" game in the series as "mid" rather than God's greatest mistake.
I haven't even heard of any of these games before this video, but man they're such good examples of all the creativity and out there ideas gaming had in the 2000s
Vincenzo iam following you from ITALY. I love your video! have a good vibes and moods! nostalgia is a strange feel... elektro-nostalgia... or teknostalgia...
Being reminded of Ecco the Dolphin lore is always a trip. In a good way. Great video going through some of the dreamcast's strangeness. A lot of folks already said, but yeah this is my favorite era of gaming in general too. Just something about it feels like the peak of what the medium was meant to be imo. Not perfect but the focus on fun and vibes was at its best. And Sega were masters of it. I'm a big fan of Space Channel 5 and Jet Set Radio, I'm glad those series are seeing use again among many others by Sega.
I gotta agree! Sometimes I would wonder if it’s just nostalgia or if the games of the early 2000’s were actually doing something special in comparison to todays games. I’m starting to believe they were just doing things much better before, these games had a lot of soul to them and you could feel the love put behind them. You can still find that now but it doesn’t hit like those older games! Glad you enjoyed the video though, thanks a bunch for watching 😁
What stood out to me about jet set radio is the crap controls with the analog stick. Doesn't hold up for me as someone who had no nostalgia for the game. Edit: I appreciate you mentioning the difficulty to control in the video. Seems like most videos just talk about the positives of the original game and for me the controls were very frustrating
I recently saw your Q and A, and I'm curious as to how you've kept up making such high quality videos once a month with your fulltime job. I have three or four jobs at a time to keep a float, and making content has been exhausting but fulfilling. Do you make ceratin days a YT "work day" or something like that? Im just curious, and thank you for the thoughtful videos you make!
That's a great question! And usually I try to make time on the weekends to write and record my scripts, as that's the most difficult part in my opinion. Then throughout the weeks I just take an hour or so a night and spend that time adding visuals to my voiceover. But if I have an especially busy week, that means I'll be spending my weekend time locked in my room editing for an entire day xD It's definitely exhausting, I struggle with it at times, but the end product is well worth the fight! Keep pushing my friend, we got this :)
I loved the Dreamcast growing up. Out of all my friends only me and one other person from my school had a Dreamcast. But when i put on gigawing to show off the hardware for my other friends in the neighborhood. Jaws where dropped. The 90's was a epic time for gaming.
Mad respect for the Ecco the Dolphin Defender of the Future inclusion. For more oceanic, artistic bliss with top tier music, I recommend the game ABZU by Giant Squid.
Ive been on a binge of playing retro Dreamcast games in 2024 so this video is timely for me lol. Beat Sonic Adventure again and played Crazy Taxi for a while. Currently playing Shenmue and forgot just how good this game is! One of my personal favs was Skies of Arcadia....simply a masterpiece that i feel would even rival current games.
That’s awesome! I had been out of the loop of the Dreamcast for so long, this video was actually my introduction into playing some of the games on it 😅 I’m hoping to buy one this year, and toy around with all the crazy features they included on it. It’s crazy how ahead of it’s time it was!
I grew up with Sega, never thought they were strange/weird back then lol Games back then were all kinda weird in their own right. It's only recently that games have become less strange.
Ecco looks amazing! I had the 1992 version but this one omggg why is not on psstore or somewhere? 😅 these games should be on the sony premium services/gamepass. I miss how creative the late 90s were in games/music/films. Great video!
It really did look so amazing for it’s time! I’m hoping they can drop some kind of remaster or remake in the future, would look incredible on next gen hardware 😁 But thank you very much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed ❤️
Genesis was the first game console at 4 I was introduced to, Sonic 2 was the first game I saw and played. From that point until 02…loved Sega, I had a 64…but the Genesis and Dreamcast especially the Dreamcast was a moment. My mom waited in line for it to release on 9/99…I got picked up from school and holy shit Dreamcast and Sonic Adventure is at my house. I will never forget that …I would spend the following 2 years renting and asking for titles from Shenmue to Jet set, Power stone even Space Channel, weird RPGS like Evolution and Skies of Arcadia, even buying PSO with no internet so I could get the SA2 demo….my mom who know so little of games still tells me to this day “it’s a shame this thing ended you were so excited and I was so excited to get it for you”. They kind of gaming experience no longer exists. I still hope one day I can camp out with my son for a new console release, something that isn’t just ordered online with games digitally loaded…something you have to live and experience and don’t even know what that will be. I hope Sony Nintendo or MS for us old guys…next launch let’s us experience a mid night launch and a sane launch for those games one last time, one time I loved as a kid that I can vicariously live through with my own now. But…I’m off topic and ‘dream’casting
That’s a beautiful memory though my friend 🥲 We were very lucky to get to experience those days when gaming was at it’s most magical moments! I really miss those days of midnight launches and awaiting the next big console. But hey, at least we have the memories 😁
thanks for remind me for Ecco the dolphin played it on genesis, i have same reaction talking, music and vibe relaxed me. didn't there's third game on dreamcast.
Very true! I was only published by SEGA in Japan, so I was definitely grasping for straws including it. But it was just so interesting I couldn’t resist 😅Thank you very much tho! It means the world that you enjoyed 😁❤️
So who owns Blue Stinger? All the info I can find on the internet says that Sega is the first publisher of the game, therefore its 99% of chance they own the IP.
@@avideogamemaster climax graphics. It is a now defunct game studio but it was a Third Party that made 2 games for the dreamcast: Blue Stinger and Illbleed
Yeah! I just got back into Sega, picked up Yakuza and Bayonetta, got myself a Sega Genesis and now I finally have a video to match my mood If you wanna know what games you missed that I recommend, I'd say Yakuza, Ristar, and Shin Megami Tensei But there's tons more to talk about maybe you should make this a series!
I definitely may have too! And I’m hearing amazing things about the Shin Megami series, was actually looking to delve into those games soon so thank you for the recommendation! 😁
I’ve been a Sonic fan since I played SA2 Battle at a gym daycare around 4/5 and have always wanted to play these more bizarre games that also came out around that time. I’ve played Ecco for the Genesis and I’ve never once thought of it as relaxing 😂 I’d have to say SomeCallMeJohnny p much hits nail on the head. Ecco Jr seems fairly relaxing but the first game? V difficult and stressful and yet I try to see if I can inch my way just a few more meters than last time! It’s a game that kicks my ass but I still come back to it like Fear and Hunger or Manhunt.
Haha Ecco definitely surprised me with how difficult it was forsure! So many times I was thinking “how did they expect me to just figure that out?” Lol
Seaman prediction on the npc zombie humans falling trap was right but spiritual beings use internet to get powerful messages out and their talents and we can see difference between soul beings and zombies from internet and local areas
It’s definitely a fine line when it comes to healthy Internet use! I’ve found myself having to take a break from all the social media, it got to be too much 😅
@@Vynsent I take break when I need new ideas to come through and the more I make music more I reach new soul beings who been in search for me and it’s sad to see many who have internet access and don’t have any talents to share out there to reach new souls that awaits a vibrant connection
Jet Grind Radio / Jet Set Radio is still one of the best games on the Dreamcast, and really the only flaw I've ever seen with it is the controls being a bit janky and hard because of the lack of a second analog stick to control the camera. Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future is also a really solid title, if a super underrated one I rarely hear brought up, that offers lots of great content and a shockingly serious tone and story. Saddest part is that there was actually a sequel for Ecco in the works, titled 'Ecco II: Sentinel's of the Universe' which did have a "playable" demo leak online a few years back. It was canned the same time the Dreamcast was canned, and clearly didn't get far because majority of the assets in the demo are re-used from Defender's of the Future, though it's still a massive let down.
I had no idea they had another sequel on the way 😳 If only it could have pulled through! I would love to see it done on modern hardware, the game already looked incredible as it is!
@@Vynsent I heard about it once in a documentary and i've been kind of obsessed with it from afar, but it never left japan so it's kind of hard to find anything about it !
The semi-zombie state Sega has been in since the mid 2000s is so unfortunate. I kind of wish microsoft would have purchased Sega way back then. Sega needs money, and microsoft needed IP.
They have new Jet Set, Crazy Taxi, Streets of Rage, Shinobi & Golden Axe games in development at the moment though - we could be seeing another golden age for them 🤞🏻
THIS is why I became a fanatical Sega fanboy back in 2001 after buying my Saturn in August 2000, 32X August 2001, Mega CD November 2001, Dreamcast in January 2002, Game Gear August 2003, and finally my Master System December 2007. I got a MegaDrive for Christmas 1990, but grew up an NES/Super Famicom guy. Though I always almost played Sega's arcade games exclusively back in the 90's. Virtua Fighter 2 is the greatest fighting game ever made. Oh and, Yu Suzuki is better than Shigeru Miyamoto. Fight me.
Am still at the start but i hope you talk about ristar it was an amazing game for the megadrive/genesis i would recommend it to any sega or 16 bit lover
I did enjoy the games you picked i wish sega would re-release seaman with some updates it would be a lot of fun like a VR mode or the ability to trade your seaman online or cross breed with a friend with things like chatGPT and A.I i could see this as a lot of fun @@Vynsent
Bro, set your microphone's audio track to mono when you're editing your video. It's slightly louder in the left than the right and could benefit from some compression. "S", "P", and "B" sounds are really overpowering as well. Get a pop filter and adjust how close you are to the microphone and it's gain afterwards.
@@Vynsent no problem. After listening to a few other videos, the balance issues I was hearing might be on my side. These bluetooth earphones do weird things when they disconnect and reconnect.
I swear our phones are listening to us...I was talking about Ecco the dolphin at a game shop and the store manager told me I should buy the original game remade for gameboy advance he said it's wacky af and told me about the final boss...I see this having been a huge fan of the dream cast and what do I learn but this game has an incredible even weirder sequel...Sega was on 1 lol that game looks incredible when I do finally get a dream cast that's the first game I'm buying ty for the put on (LOVE Blue Stinger btw top 10 survival horror for me)
Great content, with a great soundtrack as always! Dreamcast ahead of its time in so many ways particularly with its online vision PSO etc but then also so completely out muscled by the PS2 shortly after
It really was crazy how ahead of the curve Dreamcast was. If only they had more backing like Sony did! They really were leading the innovation at SEGA!
The Y2K Sega-Blue-Skies aesthetic is peak video games, and it's all been downhill from there.
Couldnt agree more! Sonic running across that wooden bridge with the orcas jumping overhead, iconic!
It’s definitely a time I will forever miss 🥲
Sega and Nintendo try diffrent styles and New Things, Nintendo more with console and sega with games. Something playstation Lose after the ps2 everythibg is now safe game like 99% pc ports
That little, isolated Y2K era was peak aesthetic all around. People are so obsessed rehashing the 80s and the 50s, wish they'd bring back this era
Debatable.
Sega back in the early 2000’s had so much potential and if they played there cards right could have been the 4th pillar today of gaming, a lot of there games from back then are trapped on there original consoles and never seen a modern re release, I love and miss old Sega
Hopefully they can have a resurgence! They have so many great IP’s they could be making new games with!
There are the new games they're making (new Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, etc.)
Thank you for talking about and including Ecco the Dolphin. Ecco was such a vibe and takes me back to the 90s and Y2K era. Very nostalgic for me.
Absolutely! I’m extremely glad I had gotten to finally play it. Phenomenal game!
long live Blueglass
Japanese developers love having there game set around Christmas like parasite eve
You’re not lying! What a game that was 😎
Yakuza as well
@@girandpiggy95 Can't forget Yakuza!
Even Shenmue was set around Christmas, if I remember correctly!
Watching these videos feels like im back to being a kid watching my brother play video games
That’s a huge compliment to me!! I always try my best to give these a nostalgic atmosphere 😁🌹 Thank you for watching!
Thanks to smoking weed while zoning out on RUclips for bringing me this. And shout out to John Lillly for Cetacean Nation, getting blasted on lsd and trying to communicate with dolphins. Couldn't get Ecco without you, happy heavenly birthday
God bless ‘em!
Who knows where filling your belly with diet soda and playing Burnout Revenge for the PS2 will bring you
Ecco the dolphin is a series that we need to return this decade.
I fully agree! Would love to see that
Y2K was about to fully take on when 9/11 hit. That’s when the culture shifted from futuristic utopia visions to everything being dominated by the military industrial complex.
There definitely was a shift at that time! Things took a dark turn 😳
I love JSR despite me not being a Dreamcast kid and discovering JSR thanks to Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing due to Beat's inclusion alongside the music and tracks, to this day The Concept of Love is engrained into my head due to that game lmao. I'd also heavy recommend to check out Burning Rangers from the Saturn, the second Sonic Team game made for the platform after Nights and pretty cool concept of a game with an absolute banging soundtrack.
Definitely a great track! So iconic 😎 Also I will be sure to check out Burning Rangers! Sounds very interesting 😁
The Saturn has even more surreal and bizarre games I’ve seen such as Machine Head, Nights into Dreams, Deep Fear, Enemy Zero, Tunnel B1.
Ooo those all sound interesting, I’ll have to give them a look!
Love the video my dude! Makes me regret selling my Dreamcast a year or so ago 😅 I was really big on fighting games on the Dreamcast, but I did play a few of the weirder games on there as well. I've been a fan of Sega since the Genesis, so they have a special place in my heart.

I remember playing it at a friend's house (I think they had the PS2 version) and just being in awe at the graphics, atmosphere and opening sequence...after playing many intense matches on Def Jam: Vendetta, it was very therapeutic lol Another weird game that comes to mind is ILLBLEED
Haha from Def Jam to Ecco is definitely an intense transition! 😂 But I was actually looking to check out ILLBLEED, I’ll be sure to do so now 😁 Thank you for watching!
@@VynsentI believe the same guys behind Blue Stinger made Illbleed.
It's strange but a beloved one even to this day!
Such a great studio!
I get so excited everytime I see a new upload from you. There is this certain vibe that I totally adore. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much 🥹 I do my best to set a certain tone, very glad you’re enjoying! 🌹
So the reason why the Dreamcast version of Space Channel 5 seems harder and less responsive is because it's designed for CRT tvs. Their refresh rates are much slower so the game is programmed with a delay to make up for it.

Maaaan, it all makes sense now. I had never even thought of that! I thought I was just getting old along with my reflexes 😂

Great video man, actually very well edited keep this up!
Thank you so much! I'm very glad you enjoyed 😁

Very innovative console! It’s crazy to me how many features it had compared to others of its time. Really incredible stuff 😁
The story behind people involved in creation of Ecco is really creepy

Yeah! I just got back into Sega, picked up Yakuza and Bayonetta, got myself a Sega Genesis and now I finally have a video to match my mood If you wanna know what games you missed that I recommend, I'd say Yakuza, Ristar, and Shin Megami Tensei
But there's tons more to talk about maybe you should make this a series!
I definitely may have too! And I’m hearing amazing things about the Shin Megami series, was actually looking to delve into those games soon so thank you for the recommendation! 😁
I love it
Very glad you enjoyed! :)
good video man
Thanks a bunch! I’m glad you enjoyed 😁
I’ve been a Sonic fan since I played SA2 Battle at a gym daycare around 4/5 and have always wanted to play these more bizarre games that also came out around that time. I’ve played Ecco for the Genesis and I’ve never once thought of it as relaxing 😂 I’d have to say SomeCallMeJohnny p much hits nail on the head. Ecco Jr seems fairly relaxing but the first game? V difficult and stressful and yet I try to see if I can inch my way just a few more meters than last time! It’s a game that kicks my ass but I still come back to it like Fear and Hunger or Manhunt.
Haha Ecco definitely surprised me with how difficult it was forsure! So many times I was thinking “how did they expect me to just figure that out?” Lol
Seaman prediction on the npc zombie humans falling trap was right but spiritual beings use internet to get powerful messages out and their talents and we can see difference between soul beings and zombies from internet and local areas
It’s definitely a fine line when it comes to healthy Internet use! I’ve found myself having to take a break from all the social media, it got to be too much 😅
@@Vynsent I take break when I need new ideas to come through and the more I make music more I reach new soul beings who been in search for me and it’s sad to see many who have internet access and don’t have any talents to share out there to reach new souls that awaits a vibrant connection
Anybody know name of the track at 18:04?
The song is called "Tongue Tied- T-Shirts" 😁
@@Vynsent thank you 💪
Awesome video. Unrelated, but you're very handsome.
Haha thank you! I try to keep myself together 😂
my fav game of all time.... SEAMAN!!!
😂😂😂 You a fool snow 😂😂😂
I remember trying to play ECCO on the PS2 but it scared me
The ocean is a scary place without a doubt 😅
The Genesis games were even more terrifying. Darker in tone.
Jet Grind Radio / Jet Set Radio is still one of the best games on the Dreamcast, and really the only flaw I've ever seen with it is the controls being a bit janky and hard because of the lack of a second analog stick to control the camera. Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future is also a really solid title, if a super underrated one I rarely hear brought up, that offers lots of great content and a shockingly serious tone and story. Saddest part is that there was actually a sequel for Ecco in the works, titled 'Ecco II: Sentinel's of the Universe' which did have a "playable" demo leak online a few years back. It was canned the same time the Dreamcast was canned, and clearly didn't get far because majority of the assets in the demo are re-used from Defender's of the Future, though it's still a massive let down.
I had no idea they had another sequel on the way 😳 If only it could have pulled through! I would love to see it done on modern hardware, the game already looked incredible as it is!
Cannot believe you didn't mention Segagagaga
I just looked it up, and I definitely would have, had I known about it 😂 That looks very interesting!
@@Vynsent I heard about it once in a documentary and i've been kind of obsessed with it from afar, but it never left japan so it's kind of hard to find anything about it !
The semi-zombie state Sega has been in since the mid 2000s is so unfortunate. I kind of wish microsoft would have purchased Sega way back then. Sega needs money, and microsoft needed IP.
They have new Jet Set, Crazy Taxi, Streets of Rage, Shinobi & Golden Axe games in development at the moment though - we could be seeing another golden age for them 🤞🏻
@@hayz1313due to sonic keeping them afloat
@@schemar17 absolutely, the movies included!
@@schemar17 Yakuza
Hopefully the new jet set game will be a banger! I have faith they’re gonna make a huge comeback 😁
The algorithm is killing it rn I have so many great videos it's refreshing
The algorithm is blessing both of us right now! 😅 Thank you very much for watching 🌹
thanks for you for making such an incredible video, you are very welcome can't wait to see your channel grow keep going !! @@Vynsent
THIS is why I became a fanatical Sega fanboy back in 2001 after buying my Saturn in August 2000, 32X August 2001, Mega CD November 2001, Dreamcast in January 2002, Game Gear August 2003, and finally my Master System December 2007.
I got a MegaDrive for Christmas 1990, but grew up an NES/Super Famicom guy.
Though I always almost played Sega's arcade games exclusively back in the 90's. Virtua Fighter 2 is the greatest fighting game ever made.
Oh and, Yu Suzuki is better than Shigeru Miyamoto. Fight me.
Very well versed in your SEGA! I respect that 😎🤝 Nothing like those old school fighting games in an arcade tho! Loved those days
Am still at the start but i hope you talk about ristar it was an amazing game for the megadrive/genesis i would recommend it to any sega or 16 bit lover
Wish I would have 😅 Hopefully you enjoyed what we had on the list!
I did enjoy the games you picked i wish sega would re-release seaman with some updates it would be a lot of fun like a VR mode or the ability to trade your seaman online or cross breed with a friend with things like chatGPT and A.I i could see this as a lot of fun @@Vynsent
10:45 give it time, in a couple of years tge burgers will reach that cost
Lmao! You ain’t lying 😂
Bro, set your microphone's audio track to mono when you're editing your video. It's slightly louder in the left than the right and could benefit from some compression. "S", "P", and "B" sounds are really overpowering as well. Get a pop filter and adjust how close you are to the microphone and it's gain afterwards.
Will do! Been working on getting a better audio out of my mic, as it’s very finicky at times. Thank you for the tip!
@@Vynsent no problem. After listening to a few other videos, the balance issues I was hearing might be on my side. These bluetooth earphones do weird things when they disconnect and reconnect.
I swear our phones are listening to us...I was talking about Ecco the dolphin at a game shop and the store manager told me I should buy the original game remade for gameboy advance he said it's wacky af and told me about the final boss...I see this having been a huge fan of the dream cast and what do I learn but this game has an incredible even weirder sequel...Sega was on 1 lol that game looks incredible when I do finally get a dream cast that's the first game I'm buying ty for the put on (LOVE Blue Stinger btw top 10 survival horror for me)
Haha they hear everything my friend! Glad it could bring you to the channel though 😁 thanks for watching!
@@Vynsent yea amazing video instant sub your well versed and knowledgeable
Absolute fucking vibes in your channel man. Can't wait for the next one
Thanks a bunch! Very glad you enjoyed, and can’t wait to show you all what I have in store 😁
So is he not going to talk about Nights, Fantasy Zone, Dynamite Dux and millions of other franchises and games?
I may have to do a part 2!
@@Vynsent Oh thanks
You did not mention MICHAEL JACKSON? He was in Space Channel 5! 🎉
I definitely should have talked about it, that was legendary 😁
ryo hazuki or ren of heavens
have you noticed how dreamcast HAD AMAZING ANTIALIASING .. while microsoft RUINED hteir company they never was able to have that great anti aliasing
They really had some incredible hardware! It’s amazing to look back on now, and see how far ahead they really were
Strange?
I felt these games were a bit strange but still great!
Meow
Meow 🌝
@@Vynsent That means I can now subscribe and leave a "meow" on all the other videos I watch, lol
@@9aracna. Of course! Glad to have you on the team 🤣
Shenmue video pls 👀
I think it’s time for me to indulge in a bit of shenmue 😏
Great content, with a great soundtrack as always! Dreamcast ahead of its time in so many ways particularly with its online vision PSO etc but then also so completely out muscled by the PS2 shortly after
It really was crazy how ahead of the curve Dreamcast was. If only they had more backing like Sony did! They really were leading the innovation at SEGA!
