Dreamcast 10th Anniversary 9-9-99 to 9-9-09 - Blu-ray Forum

Secretagentnumber6 · 09-08-2009, 02:08 AM

It seems crazy that the Dreamcast came out 10 years ago on Wednesday in the US. I bought the system day one and bought NFL 2K, which me and my friends played for hours on end. Just wanted to start this thread for any other fans out there. Also here is a link to a really good article on the Dreamcast that IGN wrote for the anniversary.

I know. I actually still have a genesis, dreamcast, and a game gear around my house somewhere. I still need to get my hands on a saturn.

Lord_Stewie · 09-08-2009, 02:18 AM

I have the Genesis and Dreamcast but not the Saturn (don't remember why i decided not to pick that one up). But I wish I did.

DetroitSportsFan · 09-08-2009, 02:18 AM

I was in line at Software, Etc. at midnight to get a Dreamcast and like 10 games. Ah, the memories.....

Steelmaker · 09-08-2009, 02:28 AM

Dreamcast had HANDS DOWN the best software lineup at launch than any other console in history!! These were the available games at LAUNCH people...

Sonic Adventure
Soul Calibur
NFL 2K
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing
Mortal Kombat Gold
Hydro Thunder
House of the Dead 2
Power Stone

That list is amazing!! I doubt we'll ever see another console launch with that many great titles at once! R.I.P. Dreamcast! You were a hell of a system!

bandit29 · 09-08-2009, 02:29 AM

Ya I bought the Dreamcast on launch day. Great system. Soul Calibur and Sonic Adventure were the first two games I bought. 10 years...damn

Yeah unfortunately where I grew up and was living in 99, only had walmart and kb toys to buy your games at. I think almost no one in my hometown bought a DC, i walked into kb on 9-9-99 told em to give me a dc and I think I bought 3 games. I wanted way more games but I was only 18 at the time and the cash flow was very low.

i miss sega hardware

MaCruz · 09-08-2009, 02:38 AM

Hell Yeah. NFL 2k was the shit!

I can't believe it was 10 years ago! I bought this system Day 1 when I was a senior in HS.

NFL 2K was so awesome. Me and about 5 or 6 of my buddies would start a season with a draft and draft our complete teams and then we would play out the season each playing his team and then a random assignment for playing teams that were not take against our teams. We completed like 6 seasons in about a month.

STARSCREAM · 09-08-2009, 03:42 AM

Bought it day one with NFL2K. Had soooo much fun with that game.

Then we'd be able to get a system that doesn't have a fail rate.

SEGA is like Disney except its Video Gaming.

IGN.com also listed the top 25 game consoles:

http://www.ign.com/top-25-consoles/index.html

Dreamcast made it into the top ten.

My fav games were:
nfl 2k
nba 2k
crazy taxi
daytona usa

Drewza89 · 09-08-2009, 12:04 PM

I got my Dreamcast for Christmas of '99 along with Sonic Adventures. It's too bad that they quit making games for it like 2 years after it came out. I still maintain that the Dreamcast had the greatest controller of all-time.

I still liked the Genesis better. It has an absolutely MASSIVE library of awesome games.

Nerdkiller likes BD · 09-08-2009, 12:50 PM

I miss Sega hardware so much these days. I can't believe I never got the Dreamcast, even though I wanted one back in the day. Theres also some games still online, like Quake 3. Does anyone agree with me that some of the DC's online game library should be ported onto PSN and XBL?
