Yeah, Rock Band: The Beatles and the Mono and Stereo Remasters of The Beatles catalog come out tommorrow (which sound freakin great, btw) but the real reason alot of us gamers remember 9-9 every year is SEGA!!! http://retro.ign.com/articles/102/1021947p1.html New article on "The History of the Dreamcast" Personally, my favorite games are MvC2, Shenmue, Rez, Crazy Taxi, Soul Caliber, MArs Matrix, GigaWing, Ikaruga, and Border Down.

I still regret the stupid decision to NOT buy the Dreamcast back then. I was too "stuck" on Nintendo to see the wisdom in the swirl. It would have been fun........

The arcade ports were stunning on the Dreamcast. Sega knew how to shift the Naomi Arcade games across to the Dreamcast without sacrificing just about anything quality wise. Mind you ..... looks didn't mean they were necessarily a great game eh? Fave games around the TV in my house [in no particular order] were Soul Calibur .... Hydro Thunder .... Powerstone 1/2 .... SF Rush 2049 Miss that little console I do ....

The Dreamcast was a great system, I especially loved the graphics! The game library was pretty excellent, too. I never bought a DC new but I had a way of always finding them cheap, and my friend gave me his collection of 20 games for free when I bought his system from him for $25 back in '01. Another friend wanted to sell his to me for $5 but I already had one. I'm surprised no one mentioned Jet Grind Radio! I also really like Virtual On! Oratorio Tangram.

You're right about the NFL 2K game's being great, I recently got one seccond hand for my Ps2 and it rock's. If I had known more about the NFL 2K series when the Dreamcast was released it might have persuaded me to get one. But then again I still probably would have been seduced by Sony's marketing campaign. I'ts still kind of hard for me to understand exactly why the Dreamcast didn't succeed. Sega seemed to do so much that was right in term's of the amount of game's and the type of game's that were available for it's launch. I guess a lot of it comes down to people like me who already owned a Playstation and weren't brave enough to give this great console a chance. It's a shame because I really like Sega and wish they were still designing great hardware.
