There was something magic about that era, and I loved reading the latest Dreamcast magazines in anticipation for the upcoming titles. There was something so original about the games when it came out, with many genres being spread over such a short period of time. It was a time when Sega took chances and showed it's creative brilliance, with some fantastic results. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to save the console and it faded away just when it was getting into it's prime. It was also my first time playing a console game online; pure gaming bliss. I have over a hundred games for it and is still growing in size.
I have it hooked upto my 37" 1080p HDTV via VGA adaptor and it's beautiful. Can't get enough of it really. God bless Dreamcast.

Totally agree, it was a time when gaming really was exciting, it may also be to do with the fact that broadband only took off a few years into the dreamcasts lifespan, which meant less browsing and less news.
It was the last great console imo, truly magical, just like the n64 before it.
I really think the dreamcast back catalogue needs to be released on the wii or psn/ xbla, more gamers need to experience segas past glories and what they turned their backs on!
