Gone but not forgotten

Hello All,

I cannot celebrate the PlayStation without mourning the loss of the Dreamcast.  The Dreamcast debuted on 9/9/99, four years after the PS1 hit the US.  It was the finest system at the time, arguably the best system launch, and was killed due to Sega's bad decision making, EA not supporting it, and finally the PS2.

There is a video podcast series in iTunes that goes through the history of gaming, and is very entertaining.  Here is the episode on the Dreamcast.  If you have iTunes I recommend finding the series in their as the video quality is better.

If you missed out on the awesomeness that is the Dreamcast, you can still buy them from Amazon.  Lastly it is true that I bought a Dreamcast, then bought a second unit when they were on sale for $40, just in case the first one broke.  That is my love for the Dreamcast.

RIP Dreamcast

Later,

John
