Their other "before it's time" system was the Dreamcast. It was the Xbox 360 of it's time. It ran Windows CE and had the ability to play online. It would have been great if the internet technology had been better at the time. Dial-up was the Dreamcast's coffin... The lack of games for it was the final nail in said coffin.

Fishing with the Dreamcast is so much fun. <3

You really need Soulcalibur or Sonic Adventure if you have a Dreamcast

KISS Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child...

The whole reason I wanted a Dreamcast.

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #64 on:** July 11, 2012, 03:42:03 AM »

I have Powerstone 2 (wicked fun) Sonic Adventures (kinda bleh) and Soul Calibur (epic!)

Don't have KISS though... will have to see if there still is an active download for it somewhere.

Honestly, the PC version is better, but it's still a good play.

Homebrew... I meant official releases.

What about the Shenmue series

Those were official releases... Unless someone made some homebrew sequels.

courthousedoc · « **Reply #71 on:** July 13, 2012, 07:23:03 AM »

I know they were official thats why i put them up.

ianh05 · « **Reply #72 on:** July 13, 2012, 07:38:22 AM »

homebrew games probably deserve their own topic :)

Did you know that in japan the Dreamcast was supported till 2007?

That would prove my theory, then. High speed internet was widely available in Japan long before the US. The Dreamcast was just before it's time...

Can you imagine what a Sega console for this generation may have been like?

Yeah I can imagine

BTW does the PS2 count as a retro console now that it's out of production?

Depends, do you play pixelized games on it while hearing 8-bit music?

Do you have to blow out the cartridge every time before you play?

No hard feelings but the PS2 console is still pretty modern.

What about the Xbox (The first one not the 360)

It's at the same level that PS2 and Awesomecube are at. They aren't made anymore, games for them are extremely hard to find, but they were modern for their time and are still relevant now.

Most of the reason why people are ditching older consoles (like those three) for the next ones up (PS3, Xbox 360) is because of Graphics. People were buying Wii for the super-analogue gameplay, because Nintendo is smarter than Sony and Microsoft. I've seen better graphics on games for Gamecube and PS2 versus games on PS3 and Xbox 360.

I personally think retro and classic gaming is gaming before the year 2000.
