So much nostalgia for this system. Bought in 1999 with a VGA adaptor, key board, mouse, and Quake 3. I remember feeling like wow, consoles are really starting to catch up to PCs. It looked incredible on my monitor. and playing in mass multiplayer online matches was a first in console history. Sega were pioneers in so many aspects of gaming history.

Dreamcast is by far the best console released for its time, in my opinion. I still have my same dreamcast that my brother gave me 15+ years ago. It still works completely great and I often play it also! The only work I've had to do to the dreamcast is.... Clean the Eye "reader" with a Q-tip for 2 seconds... and boom, was reading discs again like a champ! This system featured the new CD's, one of the first to include internet (if not the first) in which SOME games are still played online today! The Memory cards had games INSIDE the memory card if u had the game also. "Sonic Adventure / Zombie Revenge" were the ones I remember. After the dreamcast, they should have kept the concept of removable/playable memory cards. If they kept up with it, we would see people playing on xbox/ps4, only to remove the memory card to play the game (or an alternative) on the go! Possibly even using the power of the controller itself! No, they dont exist! BUT think of all that Dreamcast could and had done to the console gaming world. Internet being massive!

@@arieson7715 Definitely, also some people consider the Dreamcast a 5th generation console. Pretty much as soon as the PS2 came out the Dreamcast was obsolete. The Dreamcast cast could never think of running games such as Halo, Black, Call of Duty 1 and 2, etc. Also people didn’t like Sega at the time as they had made so many mistakes. They made the Sega CD and 32x when they should have been focusing on the Saturn. People saw the Saturn as a worse PlayStation and nobody bought it because of that. The Dreamcast was and still is a misunderstood console.

@@TheMusicEnthusiast539 No, the Saturn was like $399 at launch, which was the day they announced it at E3. (It's in the stores right now). Then the Sony guy came up and famously said "299" for their entire pitch, which undercut the Sega Saturn by 100 dollars, allowing consumers to save money, which left the saturn sadly dead on arrival.

Sulemaan Hussain It went all in with the online. No console until Xbox 360 had online features at launch like the Dreamcast did. It even had a web browser. Another example, it supported 480p resolutions, which again, nothing until 360 did. I could keep listing stuff all night. Plus, its games were also way ahead of their time, including incredible open worlds for the first time, mmo's, perfect arcade ports... It had Shenmue, which is easy to forget how way ahead of its time was as well as Seaman, a game where you interact with the characters through a microphone. Again, I could continue all day.

Great video. As a collector and someone who has the entire NA collection, who also happens to be a HUGE Dreamcast fan, the controller in my book is one of the best. Dual analog sticks would have been nice sure, but it wasn't necessary for the games that the Dreamcast was kicking out at the time. I think had the Dreamcast been more successful, you would have seen upgraded controllers and peripherals in the following years to keep up. Also, yes the controller wire was on the bottom, but it did so to make room for the VMU card. And they did put a wire notch under the VMU slot to tuck your wire in (and pointing away). So it was never an issue. In fact, the design I think is pretty ingenious. It's one of my favorite controllers of all time.

I know you said there'd be people like me in the comments, but dang! How could you not even mention Crazy Taxi? That shit is some of the most fun to be had on the system, especially if you're simply looking for a great arcade port, of which the Dreamcast has countless ones. And I'm far from the biggest sports game fan, but Virtua Tennis is also a blast. The controls are really simple but somehow it never gets repetitive or unengaging. Dreamcast really is the best retro game console to collect for, mainly because collecting for it is actually *gasp* fun. There were so many weird and goofy peripherals and games that came out for the thing (Seaman, anyone?), and actually finding and coming across these oddities is always a joy for me when I visit retro game stores. And then you have the amazing fact that indie developers are STILL making games for the damn thing to this VERY DAY. That's insane. I haven't played any of these games myself (would love to eventually), but I've heard they're pretty good for usually being by only a couple people.

All games are actually compatible with VGA on Dreamcast, some simply didn't have the boot sector included in the disc to bypass the validation. There is however a simple bypass, put the game in, unplug the cable from the back of the system, turn the system on and when you hear the first very loud laser scan immediately plug the cable back in. When the system does its second laser scan a few seconds later it will then output to the display. You can also bypass this by using a boot disc, Codebreaker disc, or GameShark disc.

*I'm 28* (born 1990). I'm not old, but for the true young folks on KZbin I'd like to explain that at the time of the Dreamcast's "heyday" my parents had only recently bought me a PS1. As a 9 to 10 year old I have a distinct memory of seeing the *Dreamcast* in Toys-R-Us. Due to its appearance I perceived it as a PS1 or N64 competitor. I had no idea it was a "next gen" console. I didn't know the actual PS1 competitor, the SEGA Saturn, even existed until recent years. I thought of the Dreamcast as a PS1/N64 competitor. When I think of SEGA I recall my time spent with a cousin that had both a *Game Gear* and a *Sega Genesis* (he was a big Mortal Kombat fan). He went straight to the PS2 from the Genesis if I recall. Maybe he had an N64 in between? Not sure. I just thought I'd give y'all an idea of what the mid 90s and early 2000s gaming was like for kids. The first time I actually had a choice of a console it was between the PS2 and Xbox (circa 2002). I've always loved an underdog so I chose the Xbox... I admired that it was basically a Pentium III PC with a hard drive and you could upload music to it from retail CDs. Might seem an odd or irrelevant feature, but it meant I could cruise Vice City and Liberty City to a custom soundtrack of my own making! Also, no dumb memory cards.

Hey, I'm from 1990 too! I know what you mean - my parents refused to buy me a console because they "brainwash you" until I was 9 and they suddenly changed their mind. They bought me a Dreamcast. At the time I was actually a little disappointed with it, I remember being grateful to have a console finally but still feeling left out when all my friends had a Playstation (and were holding out for the PS2). I was young and just wanted to be like everyone else... I was foolish! All these years later I can safely say the Dreamcast is my favorite system of all time. Looking back I played some real gems on it in my childhood. It also had a Renaissance period in my late teens/early college years too when I found out all I had to do to get new games for it was burn a CD with discjuggler. It gave me and my housemates many drunken hours of competitive fun!

Same here, I just turned 30, but the Dreamcast is probably my favorite system of all time. When I was 12 I traded my N64 for a refurbished Dreamcast. I truly felt like I was stepping into next gen when I played it. Not only were the graphics incredible, but the type of games it had were more enjoyable for me since I was getting closer to being a teenager. Unfortunately it was discontinued, and finding games was really difficult, especially since my mom moved us from San Diego to a small town in Texas (my parents split for a while). I still have it, but I need to get it fixed.

I picked up my pre-ordered Dreamcast at midnight on 9.9.99 at Fox Hills Mall in Culver City, CA. I think it was from an old Electronics Boutique. Best part was that Gary Coleman, who was working security at the mall, handed me my box. I had a bunch of acessories and controllers including the maracas with Samba de Amigo. I eventually sold the whole set to some lucky buyer on eBay.

But even still to compare the two in regards to lifespan, Sega went through a major shift and restructure by exiting the console market. Whereas Nintendo was was simply putting all chips on the Switch while keeping WIIU in life support. And one of the main and unspoken reasons for Dreamcast's short lifespan was because of the inherent flaws that the games could be bootlegged to average discs rendering profit for the game makers nil.

Since the 10 million is the total worldwide sales, the time frame would begin in November of 1998 when the Dreamcast launched in Japan. Also, it took several months to ship out and sell off the final remaining stock of systems after they quit manufacturing the Dreamcast at the end of March, 2001. I wish I could remember the source but I think it was either GameInformer or EGM that included a news snippet in a late 2001 or early 2002 issue that mentioned that Sega shipped the last stock of systems to retailers in November of 2001. The minimum time frame would then be three years, from November, 1998 to November, 2001, that it took for Sega to sell 10 million Dreamcasts. I'm not comparing to the Wii U, though. I just thought this would be interesting info.

One thing I really like about the Dreamcast is how worth owning it still is even to this day. A lot of the games have been ported to everything, including pc, but a lot of them still look and run best on original Dreamcast hardware. The Dreamcast was also the first console ever capable of doing high resolution (though not quite hd) with the majority of the library able to run at 800 x 600 with either the VGA cables or an HDMI converter. So Dreamcast games can look quite good even on modern hd TVs.

To everyone criticizing the cord being at the bottom...you've been doing it wrong. You loop the cable back, and on the back of the controller there is a notch that you push it into so that it is then coming out of the top. They did this because with the two vmu slot, there is nowhere central at the top of the controller to output the cable. How can people not know this! If you don't believe me, Google "Dreamcast controller rear". I bought my Japanese Dreamcast during launch week with Godzilla (I know...), Virtual Fighter 3 TB and Sonic Adventure and I've always known to loop the cable.

I recently bought my first Dreamcast and I would recommend buying the following items: Soul Calibur, Dead or Alive 2 and Capcom -vs.- SNK as the first fighting games. These are easier to find and normally well below $100 each. Definitely recommend buying Cheats -N- Codes Volune 1 for two reasons. 1. It's a boot loader which can use to play Japanese imports. 2. It has save game files and GameShark codes. If EA and 2K have pissed you off with micro transactions and loot boxes, definitely pick up the sports games like NFL 2K - NFL 2K2. Nothing like a football game that's actually focused on football and not MUT. I picked up Rainbow Six (w/ Eagle Watch missionpack) as I despise the current crop of FPSs on consoles and PC. It was good to play the original "thinking man's" shooter. I also bought the fishing games and controller. I strongly recommend buying Japanese titles off eBay because they're usually less pricey than the US versions. If you have a boot disc then this is a slam dunk.

Walked into Electronics Boutique where I did all my gaming shopping to buy it. Not long after the console was abandoned by Sega the prices for all Dreamcast games were slashed and they were dropped into the bargain bins. That is when I started buying lots of games for the Dreamcast! I still have the console and 12 or 15 games for it. My personal favorite has been Grandia 2.

Phantasy star online was the precursor to my MMORPG addiction. It was my first experience with an MMORPG. I remember the first time hooking my dreamcast's 56k modem to the landline and logging into phantsy star online. My 11 year old mind was blown and that's all I did or played that summer. One of, if not my favorite and most memorable gaming experiences. I was then introduced to World of Warcraft.. 12 years of playing WoW later, I blame this awesome console and awesome game of phantasy online. Have just been chasing that dragon ever since, ha.

The best part of the VMU was being able to call your plays in NFL 2K and NCAA Football Series.

I held on on buying one of those for years becuase RPGs are my favourite type of games and I thought it didn,t have much to offer, but after watching a couple of your videos, I saw that it indeed had a lot to offer, even for RPGs, and I ot mine just before the pandemic from a store closing down. So I got the console, with a controller, a memory card (not VMU, but still) and a rumble pack for 40$ CAD, plus they had some games I wanted (including Stupid Invaders, an obscure point and click game based on a French cartoon I use to love as a kid) for half price. It was a good day

How do you make a Dreamcast video without mentioning the arguably huge indie scene that still exists and brings out new games for the Dreamcast on a regular basis nowadays? :( Let alone some of the games. :/

Sturmwind (shmup) Neo XYZ (shmup) (there's a lot of indie shmups) Wind&Water: Puzzle Battles (action puzzler, happens to be my favourite game of all time) Sturmwind and Neo XYZ might be somewhat hard to find at the moment for a reasonable price. Wind&Water recently got a reprint and is pretty cheap at the moment. Full disclaimer though, I'm somewhat invested with WInd&Water (working with the devs on some things for a steam re-release of the game. ;)) There's a fair amount of indie games that came out after the dreamcast "died" and there's still new games coming out this very year, just google search it, look at reviews and youtube footage etc. :)

There's quite a few retro gaming stores on Etsy that sell home brew Dreamcast games. I use Coastline Games. The dude who owns it also makes repro's and custom games for the majority of the cartridge based consoles. All at pretty good prices too.

The Dreamcast is a great system! Despite it's tragic demise and some of its flaws, like the loud fan, grinding drive and darkish textures in some games, it does stand out in its timeline. Degraded GD-ROM drives and weak power supplies can cause failure. The VGA Adapter is really a must and it delivers sharp images. I also bought a couple 3rd-party memory VMU's to save games on. Some of my favorite games are Rayman 2, Vanishing Point, SF Rush 2049, Looney Tunes Space Race, Jet Set Radio, Soul Calibur, Border Down. Also the later released Under Defeat which is really a must own! In general there are lots of genres on Dreamcast for every gamer.

Also if dreamcast is made before october 2000. You can play burned games on it. No modding the console needed at all. Easy to burn the games. Look up youtube videos for it or google the process.

9.9.99 THAT date/advert is etched in stone on my cranium. I loved this system and vividly remember hounding my mom to get me it, which I did at a local BestBuy. The first game I picked up was Blue Stinger, which wasn't my favorite and quickly alleviated with Ready2Rumble; a fantastic arcade boxing game. I must sadly cop to "modding" my DC to play bootlegs, which my shitty DSL crawled to satiate. CrazyTaxi; Power Stone; NFL2K series, even though I wasn't a football fan (still not); Jet Grind Radio; Soulcalibur, were unbelievably awesome. Aesthetically it was beautiful and it was just a neat little system that was REALLY trying; and honestly stood out in comparison with the Dark Behemoth that was Original XBOX and weird PS2, which I still can't define too well. Unfortunately, I have to admit that I eventually dropped the system for the PS2, and a little bit of the Xbox when it was worth it, because Sony just dominated at that time, similarly to now. Dreamcast/Sega just didn't have the library to compete.

Day one? Spawn: In the Demon's Hand. Easily the greatest Spawn game ever made, and also an insanely fun arcade game with 4 player support and a ton of unlockable characters. One of my fave games on the Dreamcast.
