A console system released by SEGA.
It had enormous potential but was let down by a lack of games and first-party support. Still popular in some circles, the Dreamcast is often compared to the Saturn, an earlier console that lost to the Playstation, because even though it had more potential, it was difficult to code for.
One of the best consoles evar made thanks to a strong library of great titles, good third party support, decent online sports games, and great gameplay and graphics.SInce that it is now dead, you can pick up this masterpiece at your local best buy for under $50, if you're lucky enough to find it.
The Sega Dreamcast was a game system made in 1999. Due to many bad decisions, the system was abandoned in around 02'. They are as cheap as dirt now, (about 20$) and considering iso's of many can be grabbed for free, and the majority of the library can be had for super cheap at game exchanges that stock old games, it makes it an easy purchase.
sony roolz seems to have some sort of metal handicap, misspellingeverything from graphics to dreamcast, showing the typical IQ of those who enjoy playstation 2; and by the way, how can one make fun of an original name like dreamcast, when the hunk of plastic in his or her possesion has a gem of a name like playstation, which also demonstrates the typical IQ of the marketing people in Sony.
a rumor on the internet that sega is suposed to release a so called "dreamcast 2" in semptember 2009(or 2012,depending on where you look),even though sega claimed in 2001 that they were no longer going to make game counsls.all though there are alot of websites that talk about it,there isnt any real proof that such a project is in existance.but there are plenty of rumors around.
