Wildly ahead of its time, deserved so much better. The memory stick being like a tamagotchi, that’s an amazing idea. I could never figure out how to make it work but raising the Chao from Sonic Adventure, so much unrealised potential.
There was a prototype VMU MP3 player in the works before the Dreamcast was discontinued, alongside a music store.
Sega also produced a digital camera for the Dreamcast, the DreamEye.
The tech world could have looked very different if the Dreamcast went differently for Sega.
oh shit it is 9.9.99+25
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
25 years already?! It doesn’t seem that long ago. I might see if I can dig mine out - Jet Set Radio or Sonic…
First console I downloaded dlc on (Skies of Arcadia) First game I uploaded my own content for (Jet Grind Radio) First console I emulated games on (Genesis and NES) First console I downloaded and burnt discs of full games (too many)
And I raised some really nice Chao (SA2)
What a great console.
