you know youre having the best years of your life when you see perfection. nowadays i think the closest thing i could consider an honest compliment to be, 'wow you really do hate this game don't you'
Yea well, in those days when you bought a game it was complete and almost certainly wasn't near totally broken at launch, requiring mammoth patches of dozens of gigabytes every few days over the following year to fix. How's that for no errors?
We had that though. Sonic adventure 2 is still a beauty to play because of these fluid 60 fps. It depends on what stuff developers invest resources during programming
It was ok. Kinda quirky. I think that console got too much praise honestly. My brother had one and I still just played my N64 because it had games that I actually wanted to play.
I bought a Dreamcast back in 2005, (4 years after the console’s demise). I bought it mainly to reflect on SEGA’s efforts in their attempts at the console market. Now if I only had a SEGA SG-1000 to complete my SEGA console collection. Happy 60th Anniversary, SEGA!!
Probably the best time to buy it - after it had failed on the market, but before the "retro" boom would artificially inflate the price of older game hardware/games.
Same here. Sg 1000 equates to complete collection. Sadly i had to sell the lot in 2013....sigh....thank god for emulation. In this day and age i own my entire collection on my phone with an 8bitdo mini controller hanging off my cars rear view mirror I miss 20 year ago.
Do you own a Sega NOMAD, Sega MultiMega or Sega Picture Magic? I ask as I'm also trying to collect the commercial SEGAs and I passed up opportunities to buy a cheap nomad and now they've x8 in price.

@@jonj488 Same. I picked up a Dreamcast and PSO as I was graduating highschool in 2001 and disappeared all summer break before college. I met so many people in that game ... Introduced me to japanese folks at a time where I was just getting into anime ... dealt with so much social drama ... the legendary "hacking" / scamming that persisted ... losing people to go off to war .. etc., etc. It was a whimsical experience that I've never been able to reproduce quite like it.
+stargateheaven23 Haha yeah, and with twice the speed of a tv your football game can look like a real football game on a tv. This makes perfect sense! Also 32 bit multiplied with 2 is 128, because Segas console has twice the Bits as N64 and the Playstation. You gotta love these old BS news. xD
1991 - 2005 (Ending with Oblivion, KOTOR, San Andreas etc) was truly a fantastic era for gaming. Dreamcast for me was the best unboxing experience and first boot ever. It felt so clean and warming.
I got this on 9/9/99. I was so hyped! I had to do mega chores do get my mom to get this for me. Power Stone was one of the best games and they should bring it back!
Same! 9/9/99 will forever be stuck in my head for getting the dream cast. To me one of the best consoles od it's time. With the usable memory card and just the amount of games.
@@derick3482 not true at all. Sega set a sales record when the Dreamcast launched in 99 in NA - 225,132 units in 24 hrs. And their market share was up to 31% by year end

"Back in my day we cared about gameplay, NOT GRAPHICS like kids these days!" Watches Interviews from that time: "Graphics", "graphics!", "graaaphics", "Graphics!"
@ergonaut Realistic graphics are great. Like Broken Sword 3 is a game i love. But photorealistic tv drama junk like Last of Us is awful. I am saying.. if every game in the future console is gonna turn into some sappy American TV drama i am gonna quit buying console. Still sticking with Xbox though. Why i like old tomb raider before that reboot accident happend. 2 guns, exploration. Thats all you need. Better graphics helps long way though : D
MrBluePants back then just the fact of seeing 3D graphics meant a lot, so of course the graphics mattered, but not nowadays where the graphics between generations are getting very similar
When Sonic Adventure came out, I coudn't believe how cool i t looked but the game chanching title for me was RE Code Veronica. Here in Chile, I was in a videogame store and they started running the intro of the game which is a long comlilation of the game's cut scenes and WOW...a great number of people gathered to watch it and they were clapping at the end. So realistic and badass. Good times man.
I’d take the 90s just with modern medicine achievements from today. The US was at peace and we didn’t tear at each other’s throats. But we didn’t see the storm coming on 9/11 sadly :(

Sega v Sony... lol no chance.
No, not really. They released a machine four years after the PSX that was more powerful (as you would expect), but also a lot less affordable and difficult to develop games for. Few people bought it, so few developers made games for it and it died.
Still have a Dreamcast and still play it regularly. SEGA did a great job with the Dreamcast, if they had included a DVD player then it could have had a shot to retake their market share for them. The Dreamcast had one of the best launch game lineups ever.
it would have been cool if the dreamcast had DVD technology, however you have to remember that it was released in 1998 in Japan. At that time, DVD players were almost non existent. a and were ridiculosly expensive. Sega didn't have the money to lose when they were making the dreamcast
Well, they could have waited then, when they would be able to implement it with less risk. They had a pretty weak lineup in Japan at launch after all, so that situation may have been addressed as well.
More racism and sexism, the height of drug abuse, pointless wars that first world country people don't even feel, plus god awful music and no wifi...yep. no thanks.

@@Weaver_Games its correct, television in NTSC had about 30 frames per second, but drawn in 2 steps each, so you can count 60 frame redraws per second. if the console can interlace those, you have more fluid motion.

Ah the good old days of gaming. If they ever came out with a dreamcast 2 I'd buy that thing in a heart beat. Sadly I don't think such a thing will ever happen.
Dreamcast was my favorite system as a teen. 22 years after I traded it in for Xbox games. I finally own a Dreamcast again. I regretted selling all my old systems to funco land. Dreamcast was a head of its time. NFL, NHL and NBA 2k were all unbelievable at the time. It’s too bad the party only last 2 years. I wish Sega would give a go one more time. I always was a Sega kid. Master system, genesis, game gear, Saturn and Dreamcast. Loved them all.
DREAMCAST was so ahead of its time. Its a shame it didnt fly for everyone. I mean doing online gaming before people even knew what it was... Had some of the best memories and gaming experiences on their system
Saturn really didn't have to die as badly as it did. I play a lot of Japanese saturn games and I cant help but wonder what Sega of America was thinking by blocking some of these.
Sega continually makes awesome systems that they just fuck up because they have idiots for financial team. They could have been number 1 but money destroyed them.
***** Exactly. I think it got worse a few years after their transition to third-party publisher, since they think that Sonic the Hedgehog is their only IP that sells. Even then, they fucked him up to the point that he's nothing more than a joke. I'm still waiting for a new NiGHTS Into Dreams game, or a new Space Harrier game, etc.
Jafferson Llaban you don’t even know how much the Dreamcast was better than the competition. Now it doesn’t looks amazing, it’s a 20 years console after all. At the time it was a revolution
He's not talking about the hardware, he's talking about the actual company Sega. When they screwed up on the Saturn it was the nail on the coffin they lost a lot of gamers and developers as well. Dreamcast had a lot of great games all made by Sega but no one knew about it because no one cared anymore lol. I knew like 1 kid who had a Dreamcast at the time.
I think SEGA might not have failed SO hard if they stayed committed to Saturn right up until Dreamcast is released. Instead they were like "yeah Saturn is shit, roll it down", which was a self fulfilling prophecy because America and Europe subsidiaries didn't release the Japanese games that made the system moderately successful in Japan. Consumer confidence wasn't high because SEGA has not demonstrated sufficient commitment to their former products.
This was my first game console but at the time I didn't realize how cool it was because all my friends had Playstations or N64s and I didn't, typical kid stuff. My dad was super into tech back in the day though and realized how much better this console was, now I'm glad that he did. I also had way too many games to play because he'd download and burn 2 or 3 new games for me everyday at work and bring them home. Ah, times were so much simpler back then.
Thats awesome man. In remember when the dreamcast came and the neighbor would invite us over to play (my siblings and i were playstation kids) and pass the controllers around for nights playing virtua fighter and crazy taxi
Just imagined if you started with the Sega Saturn. Hardly anyone knew that existed in the 90s despite being a direct competitor to the ps1 and n64 in the mid 90s. You would think being a direct successor to the gensis would help, but Sega made so many mistakes with their add-ons and ditching the 32x too quickly, made them fall far from grace.
I remember waking into a video game/ board game store when I was a kid and seeing the Sega Dreamcast playing a football game on the in-store TV. It was surrounded by a bunch of 30-40 year olds and we were all amazed that it wasn't a real football game lol. This tiny clip just made me realize how skewed our perspectives were back then ha
I remember seeing this in 1998 in Seattle’s Chinatown at Kicks Hobby, I just had to have it! So I bought the import version. 🎮📺 It’s catalogue of fighting games was just incredible!
Micah I enjoyed those years just as much as I enjoy these, even with the pandemic. I’ve been in awe of this fucked up world every year of my entire life.
Actually early 2000's had phones......lmao. Nokia phones were already out during the late 90's. By the time it was early 2000's, the Sharp flip phones were already trending. By the time it was 2003 pretty much every high school kid had a phone and was busy texting all the time. Not to mention there was already social media in early 2000's Myspace was popular and also others like Bebo saw it's time in the spotlight. But nah, I think you're just one of those people that didn't even live in the 90's/early 2000's and just like to say "it was better back then" Lol I used dial up internet when I was a kid. It was definitely NOT better. And social media helps distribute way more information. These days I can find all sorts of info and guides on the internet for anything. There's literally a tutorial on RUclips for pretty much anything. I can download videos faster than I can watch them. On dial up I had to wait several hours to download a 1 minute clip and couldn't use the phone at the same time with the parents nagging about how we can't just unplug the family phone. Such awesome times. LMAO
That is far from the truth dreamcast was a big turd. This was the time ps2 and xbox were months from releasing there console. Dream cast was trying to compete with n64 and ps1 which were on there way out
@@xavierd3298 The PS2 came out about a year later and the Xbox/Gamecube another year after that. The PS2 launch titles were underwhelming but people trusted Sony enough to buy the console regardless. The Dreamcast was mostly killed by piracy and SEGA's overly ambitious marketing. As it stands, it's one of the best console of all time for arcade games. Also the design was pretty slick and the machine itself was very compact... calling it a big turd is ridiculous.
Who fucking cares? Graphics past a certain point just don’t matter, I’m sorry. It’s so quaint to look back and see the nearly OCD-level obsession with bEtTeR gRaPhIx. And I’m 34, I remember it because I lived through it. Turns out better graphics means just that: better graphics. A turd in HD is still a picture of a turd.
I think Dreamcast games look better than PS2 games. Maybe not as many polygons but it has a much clearer picture. PS2 was always very muddy. GC and especially Xbox however were superior.
My buddy and I used to play Power Stone for hours on the DC. A now forgotten gem of a fighting game. Would love to track it down some day and see if it still holds up.
It does I have it. I bought a copy from Etsy. I was able to get four controllers and we have a blast as a family playing it along with soul caliber! Do yourself a favor and get a Dreamcast again
Of all the companies I fell bad for the most, it’s Sega. They went from the company that challenged Nintendo. To nothing but a shell of their former selves.

What kind of dumb statement is this. 3D gaming FPS in the 90s were abysmal, Goldeneye on N64 ran at 12-15 fps!

The Dreamcast WAS a great console. People just didn't know back then 😢
I knew. I played the hell out of the DC. Still have it.
They released it at a bad time and the competition wasn’t pulling any punches
I liked Dreamcast. The sports games were great. The controller was kinda weird. But it was a smooth gaming system.
SEGA was always ahead of it's time but lacked the library of titles.
It was ok. Kinda quirky.
I think that console got too much praise honestly.
My brother had one and I still just played my N64 because it had games that I actually wanted to play.
I miss the 90s. Such a great time.
Best years of my life as a kid, especially 98 and 99.
The 90's was an exciting decade.
Yeah after 9/11 the whole world turned to shiet.
Right? The world is full of fucking weirdos now...
Remember When sjws were just called hippies
I bought a Dreamcast back in 2005, (4 years after the console’s demise). I bought it mainly to reflect on SEGA’s efforts in their attempts at the console market. Now if I only had a SEGA SG-1000 to complete my SEGA console collection. Happy 60th Anniversary, SEGA!!
Probably the best time to buy it - after it had failed on the market, but before the "retro" boom would artificially inflate the price of older game hardware/games.
Same here. Sg 1000 equates to complete collection. Sadly i had to sell the lot in 2013....sigh....thank god for emulation.
In this day and age i own my entire collection on my phone with an 8bitdo mini controller hanging off my cars rear view mirror
I miss 20 year ago.
Do you own a Sega NOMAD, Sega MultiMega or Sega Picture Magic? I ask as I'm also trying to collect the commercial SEGAs and I passed up opportunities to buy a cheap nomad and now they've x8 in price.
Very nice! I too wish to own every sega console.
@Yellowblanka retro boom for gaming really didn't start till like 2017 maybe 2015 or so and in 2020/21 blew the hell up bc of the pandemic. I don't try to collect bc of the damn prices

60fps is twice the speed of a TV!
+stargateheaven23 Haha yeah, and with twice the speed of a tv your football game can look like a real football game on a tv. This makes perfect sense! Also 32 bit multiplied with 2 is 128, because Segas console has twice the Bits as N64 and the Playstation. You gotta love these old BS news. xD
that's why is was more commonly referred to as the "bit" wars.

Not exactly I am sure all the sports and wrestling titles had quite a considerable leap in graphics in the next gen comsoles
@ergonaut Realistic graphics are great. Like Broken Sword 3 is a game i love. But photorealistic tv drama junk like Last of Us is awful. I am saying.. if every game in the future console is gonna turn into some sappy American TV drama i am gonna quit buying console. Still sticking with Xbox though. Why i like old tomb raider before that reboot accident happend. 2 guns, exploration. Thats all you need. Better graphics helps long way though : D

When Sonic Adventure came out, I coudn't believe how cool i t looked but the game chanching title for me was RE Code Veronica.

No, not really. They released a machine four years after the PSX that was more powerful (as you would expect), but also a lot less affordable and difficult to develop games for. Few people bought it, so few developers made games for it and it died.

Still have a Dreamcast and still play it regularly. SEGA did a great job with the Dreamcast, if they had included a DVD player then it could have had a shot to retake their market share for them. The Dreamcast had one of the best launch game lineups ever.
it would have been cool if the dreamcast had DVD technology, however you have to remember that it was released in 1998 in Japan. At that time, DVD players were almost non existent. a and were ridiculosly expensive. Sega didn't have the money to lose when they were making the dreamcast
Maybe, we don't know
Well, they could have waited then, when they would be able to implement it with less risk. They had a pretty weak lineup in Japan at launch after all, so that situation may have been addressed as well.
That is what I think they should have done now that you mention it
Even when the PS6 comes out, We shall tell our descendants for ages to come that no system will ever compare to the powerhouse that was the Dreamcast.

Or too soon actually.
He's not talking about the hardware, he's talking about the actual company Sega. When they screwed up on the Saturn it was the nail on the coffin they lost a lot of gamers and developers as well. Dreamcast had a lot of great games all made by Sega but no one knew about it because no one cared anymore lol. I knew like 1 kid who had a Dreamcast at the time.
I think SEGA might not have failed SO hard if they stayed committed to Saturn right up until Dreamcast is released. Instead they were like "yeah Saturn is shit, roll it down", which was a self fulfilling prophecy because America and Europe subsidiaries didn't release the Japanese games that made the system moderately successful in Japan. Consumer confidence wasn't high because SEGA has not demonstrated sufficient commitment to their former products.
Siana Gearz, how about release the Dreamcast in USA in 9-9-99 first, and Japan later
Or too soon. SEGA so ahead of its time. Now we have a new era for casuals scrubs :(

This was my first game console but at the time I didn't realize how cool it was because all my friends had Playstations or N64s and I didn't, typical kid stuff. My dad was super into tech back in the day though and realized how much better this console was, now I'm glad that he did. I also had way too many games to play because he'd download and burn 2 or 3 new games for me everyday at work and bring them home. Ah, times were so much simpler back then.

Just imagined if you started with the Sega Saturn. Hardly anyone knew that existed in the 90s despite being a direct competitor to the ps1 and n64 in the mid 90s. You would think being a direct successor to the gensis would help, but Sega made so many mistakes with their add-ons and ditching the 32x too quickly, made them fall far from grace.
