So, i just read
this article on IGN about the history of the Sega Dreamcast (undoubtedly written because wednesday, 9/9/09 will be the 10th anniversary of the dreamcasts release), and i have to admit i was close to being in tears. I don't know how many people who read this (well, i don't know how many people read this) had the privelege to own a Sega Dreamcast, but as one of those lucky few i have to admit that it provided me with some of the best video game times i ever had in my life. I can remember hours spent in jeff lasko's basement playing crazy taxi, not even to mention other epic games. Powerstone was possibly one of the best and most innovative fighters ever, and obviously the game i just mentioned, crazy taxi, was definitely one of the most innovative games ever. To me, the main problem with Dreamcast was that it was too ahead of its time, and people just couldn't appreciate all they were trying to do. But alas, i'm sure anyone who has ever owned a sega dreamcast would agree, it was one of the best gaming systems ever and it died well before its time, rest in peace sega dreamcast, you are missed and not forgotten.
ps, this was my 50th post, woo!
