A video game console released on September 9th, 1999, or "9/9/99." The system ushered in the 128-bit age, with impressive graphics and online capabilities out of the box via a 56k modem.
The system was a huge hit among hardcore gamers and Sega Fanatics. Yet, in 2001, Sega pulled the plug on the system, and consoles were no longer manufactured. Many reasons exist for why the system failed -- no support of certain "critical" publishers, prior failure of the Sega Saturn, the ease with which games could be pirated, and the hype of the looming PS2. During its two year lifespan, over 250 games were released in the U.S. market, and many were hugely successful.
Whatever the reason for its demise, the system lived a life too short, but will always be remembered fondly in the hearts of serious gamers for excellent titles such as Soul Calibur, Sonic Adventure, Power Stone, Shenmue, and Crazy Taxi, just to name a few. We miss you, Dreamcast.

Hey man, I just got a Dreamcast.
Oh yeah, that's that badass system from Sega!
But.. isn't PS2 coming out soon. Why did you buy one?
BE QUIET. Dreamcast has great potential for fun. Gaming is about variety and innovation, and Dreamcast has both.

Get the Dreamcast mug.A medical condition first coined with overuse of the SEGA Dreamcast but has now re-occurred due to the Microsoft X-Box. The dual trigger controller design means that after extended play of racing games, the right hand index finger can ache and become numb.
