The Dreamcast Turned 13 Years Old in America Today



Ah, yes, this old beauty. It failed so hard that it caused SEGA to leave the hardware business and go third-party. It also gave us the first 3D Sonic games (Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2), the latter of which introduced crappy recolor fan-favorite Shadow the Hedgehog, and paved the way for later classics, such as Sonic 06.

...

On the good side of things, the Dreamcast brought a number of innovations to the industry. For one, it had a screen on its controller, a trend which Nintendo's latest console, the Wii U, is reviving nearly a decade later. As well, it was the first system to have an internet browser, which you could use to look at pr0n, and even save said images to your system and look at on your controller.

We salute you, Dreamcast!
