What made the Dreamcast such a great mac ...

I still to this day, play my Dreamcast.I think this system came out way before its time, and it was hard for people to grasp all of the awesome ideas Sega had for it. Also, the PS2 coming out only weeks after the Dreamcast relase, and it's ability to play DVDs.The reason the Dreamcast is still a great console to this day in my opinion, is the awesome collection of games! I have never seen a console with so many original games. To name a few, Power Stone, Marvel VS Capcom 2, Ikaruga, Shinmue, the list goes on. The best part, if you are having a hard time finding these games, no worries! You can just torrent the game, burn it to a regular CD-R and pop it in! No mods or chips needed!I love you Dreamcast!Now what's your guy's reason that you love/hate one of the most innovative console ever? What made the Dreamcast such a great mac ...
I was still playing mine up to very recently.It does have a great library of games. The quality ratio must be as high as that of the N64I just think that sega were too far gone for the dreamcast to rescue them.What made the Dreamcast such a great mac ...
Well, I really liked the marketing campaign for it. I live in England so we had the ''Dreamcast - up to 6 billion players'' adverts which really made me feel like I was a part of a 'Dreamcast community' of sorts. This was only emphasised when people started flocking to the PS2. It made the Dreamcast a kind of niche console.
It was the first of its kind for many reasons. It was the first console to have a proper online system, built-in Anti-aliasing, a motion controller that actually worked (I think it was for Sega Bass Fishing or something like that) and a great variety of games that had an unusually high amount of awesome.
I think you had to be around at the time to really appreciate the Dreamcast, but I shall continue to love it :) Btw, using CD-R's is pretty bad for the already unreliable laser in the DC so I only use original games. My DC is 8 years old now and is still going strong :D
I love some of the crazy games, Shenmue, Power Stone, Sonic Adventures, Soul Calibur, Chu Chu Rocket and many many more. Some werent even that great but seem really enjoyable for some reason.
Sega Rally on DC was and still is the best rally car game ever! I still play it now!
its the only system that only was out in the market for 1 year intell sony came and took the compition. then sega joined nintendo. im a nutshell.
in a nutshell bad spelling.
man I wish I had one in its peak *sigh*it prob is the most underrated console of all time...but i cant say i never had one lol
amazing system
1. Games2. Games3. Games4. Was technically superior to the competition5. GamesLeave it to sega to somehow screw up such a large opportunity.
Long live the dream cast! a hero that never was!

I really wish my Dream machine was still alive and kicking. I love Skies of Arcadia and the Powerstone series,and yet Chu-Chu Rocket kept me oddly addicted, I also loved the quirky little VMU and the different picture messages it displayed whilst you played. When PSO hit the shelves I played that pretty heavily online too and I remember it being my first taste of an MMO, to the Dreamcast, I salute you.
PSO thats what made it great. It still even now has a big place in my heart .. gone but not forgotten

I don't think spelling it wrong one way is a better replacement for spelling it wrong another way.. Try 'until', you failure of a grammar nazi.

There was nothing quite like playing pixel-perfect versions of Capcom's 2D fighting games.
The Fighting games

The built-in modem was awesome. My Dreamcast was my first web browser, as sorry as that sounds. SO many great games.
