Sega Dreamcast's 20th anniversary

2018-11-27
hey come on over have some fun with crazy taxi I uh noticed I loaned the Japanese Dreamcast and a US Dreamcast so I would sneak into my brother's friends room and just try to get away with an hour I never did on a Dreamcast I liked the idea of it but a friend of mine had one so I just played on his I I had ordered one and I paid way over at the actual retail price to get one imported to the US I don't regret doing that at all I was the biggest Sega pin it and to have they had two games in that system when I ordered it when I bought it they had Virtua Fighter 3 TB and pimping try salon and pimping try salon is still a horrible day it was being presented as the bold future and me as a Genesis owner thinking of Sonic in a 3d space just that idea and seeing that in action was absolutely mind-blowing you know in retrospect it kind of looks like trash but at the time it looked like the best thing I'd ever seen favorite game would be fighting Vipers - that was the one that I would go over in my friends place and we play all the time it's hard to argue against Soulcalibur that's kind of the best game on the system that was the most polished game it was the most feature-rich game it was most graphically impressive game still I feel like throughout the Dreamcast entire lifespan no game ever looked better than that Crazy Taxi was our generations Grand Theft Auto Dreamcast was I think the first system that had built in online capabilities like it came with a 56k modem I had no idea the Dreamcast could connect to the internet I think we're of the age where our parents would put severe restrictions on things like lag was terrible connections were terrible nothing is stable it was amazing that we put up with it then I remember playing with of some friends from Chicago I was out in San Francisco and I'm original for my friends in Chicago were playing like I could get to play without so that was awesome that wasn't I was a great experience we want you to enter the world of ultimate Network game we want to give you the experience of traveling to distant planets and communicating in real time yeah that was nothing of bugs name because they had these little like Tamagotchi little things you could plug into the controller well the thing about this little screen is a memory card - right I can't exactly remember it's the dumb memory device trying to figure out like if it was the second screen for the game like are you gonna have to like mount it on your glasses and be able to look at it while you're playing the game at the same time 2k1 it was it was a your play screen I think in Sonic Adventure that you could download some of the the pets and you could kind of feed your pets on this little system and take it with yourself I think it's it actually feels alright I can barely fit this in my hands now how did tiny ten-year-old katlyn fit this in her hands oh geez it has been a while yeah my wait you oh sure I accidentally crashed into her area let's do this the handling of the car is really kind of funny there's no like sort of the centripetal force involved it's just on Rails almost as you turn yeah oh it's in San Francisco I forgot it was in San Francisco dis cannot be read please check the disk for scratches but it's still playing that doesn't make sense maxi he was a cheap character he was kind of that eddy gordo if you know Tekken he's kind of eddy gordo of the game like people just mash on buttons and they end up beating even though they sucked oh it's intend no controls great so the a isn't the actual a the a is down here instead of being over there fantastic the audio is kind of trashed though so you can definitely tell there's been a lot of progress on that point okay here we go so cool it's awesome Soul Calibur ironically really because it led to the demise of Sega as a hardware developer well this was kind of Sega in my pain at their best parts of it long wheel D parts of it for weird the memory cart would you know you could take your child with you parts of it were really done but it was unique if I like goes me with love as opposed to being that I don't know focus group because they have to capture the 18 to 34 mountain do audience I think you know it was sort of this small it was the small player and I think everyone had a sense of that you know people really I know that the people who had it really really loved it element is still one of my favorite systems of all time okay I really wish it could have been more successful but his copy was this bootleg copy that he had gotten somehow from Japan and it was on a disc you know and then you know I had writing on the disc and whatever the nightmare of Shem Noah which I never actually played I've only heard nightmares if I want to run errands so play read dead
