in 1999 Sega released the Dreamcast their last entry into the console market after the Saturn fell well behind the PlayStation in Nintendo 64 Seika decided to pull out all the stops with the Dreamcast to regain the lead looking at the console you'll find quite a few trailblazing features including a modem which came standard and lab for all Dreamcast users to play games online as well as download DLC years before it became the standard the Dreamcast also was unique in the way it's stored data instead of using ordinary memory cards like many of its competitors games were saved on removable packs called VM use a VM you plugged into the controller and featured a display along with a few buttons which allowed you to play a handful of mini games depending on what save data you had on the VM you looking at the controller you'll find that it's surprisingly good while a bit large than you might like it's got an interesting and nicely ergonomic shape which is no small feat considering you could fit two VM use into the controller the joystick is really great and the function buttons are nicely sized and spaced out the rear triggers have a near-perfect amount of feedback and the entire controller is impressively rock-solid considering how light it is the Dreamcast hardware is fairly compact and good-looking upfront you'll find four controller ports along with a small compatible with Windows CE II logo the Dreamcast was unique in the fact that the operating system was installed from the disk every time you turned on the system this meant that it was possible to use multiple operating systems and updates to keep the Dreamcast always a step ahead on the top you'll find power and open buttons the Dreamcast takes gd-rom discs that look just like a CD however they have 1.2 gigabytes of capacity the sides of the console are fairly clean until you get to the back where you will find ports to plug in the power cable a serial port AV out in either a modem or Ethernet connections depending on which you had installed many regarded the Dreamcast as being ahead of its time and in many cases that's absolutely true the graphics were solid in the edition of online play in the interesting if a bit underwhelming vmu was very unique however it just wasn't to be by the time the PlayStation 2 came out the Dreamcast was already losing steam and Sega wasted no time in discontinuing their console business all together after less than two years with the Dreamcast in the North American market regardless of how it did commercially there's no doubt that the last ever Sega console went out with a bang
