I remember playing NBA something on the Dreamcast kiosk at Best Buy. I remember thinking how advanced the technology was but how goofy the controller was

Playing pso with my homies every night. I remember having to dig up free dial up ISPs every week so we could all connect. Really wish it came with Ethernet support out of the box.

But man we’d play so much pso. The game seemed so much bigger back then. Looking at it now, there wasn’t really that much content there.

Project Justice 2 and power stone! Still two of the best fighting games imo

Spending hours online either on Phantasy Star Online or in the Dreamarena chat rooms.

Getting Shenmue and Shenmue II on launch days was a special time.

Soul Calibur

House Of The Dead 2 with the light gun

Dynamite Cop

loved mine should never have sold it they were eons ahead of their time way more advanced graphically than anything at that time in the console market and the internet play I never could try as it was totally uneconomically viable, but had SEGA hung on and survived and the online side took off they’d probably be king at this point and still pumping out new true next gen console hardware instead of Android and IOS apps and re-boot mini consoles of the original megadrive and so on? Damn shame they flopped with the Dreamcast, but I loved mine had it a a week after release day I think it was.

Good lord i forgot about those controllers. They look so awkward. More ergonomic than steckdeck or a switch though.

This controller is probably the daddy of the original Xbox controller, and the GameCube controller (N64 is the mother there).

It was probably more comfortable than the Xbox one, and looked cooler than the GC one, but the GC controller wins in comfort.

I always hated the GC controller.

It’s weird, but it makes sense when you’re used to it. Z can be a bit awkward, though. Having the face buttons all be different shapes is a great plus imo.

Yeah too small for my tastes. And I wasn’t a fan of the button layout and very small c-stick.

But then again, I actually liked the Duke.

They are more comfortable than they look. The lack of a second analogue stick is a big limitation though.

They’re molded to the hands really well but the analogue stick is entirely plastic and digs into your thumb really easily!

As does the d-pad! I remember having blisters on my left thumb from playing project justice 2 for hours
