This is still the system for our generation of gamer, IMO.
It has the best fighters, the best arcade ports, the best sports games of their time (except baseball, they never quite got that right), best party game (Worms Armaggedon).
Never had the Dreamcast unhooked in my house, its that good.

This makes me sad that mine isn't here right now 
Ah well, just means I'll have to celebrate with it twice as hard next month once it IS here!

To 15 years of having one of the greatest consoles of all time.
I really I have to find a good 4:3 monitor to get in some DC goodness ASAP. Don't want to hook it up to a widescreen monitor and i'm through with composite.

Ahh, Dreamcast. Besides the PS2, it's one of my favorite 6th gen systems out there. Kinda sad to see it last only a few years in the market.
I'll have to pick up a VGA cable for it eventually.

The Dreamcast had one of the best launch lineups ever IMHO. So many good games on day one. Too bad the fun didn't last longer.

Might have ended up with a bigger game library, but IMO the DC was a better off-the-shelf system. 480P support for basically everything with a few exceptions, where the PS2 was 480I with few exceptions.
I like both PS2 and DC for different reasons, but the DC I've liked since it was launched. PS2 had to grow on me, and I had to get a lot of import fighters/shmups to even enjoy playing anything on it.

It had a hell of a library for how short it was on the market.
Well said. I remember it came out my last year of college, and my friends and I cracked out on Zombie Revenge, Dynamite Cop, SFA3, House of the Dead 2 (even with shitty guns), and ESPECIALLY KoF 98.
Did anybody ever connect it to the NGPC? I can't remember what it did, but I know you hooked it up with the KoFs together.

The only system I've ever pre-ordered, made a line for and spent quite a bit on during launch. I remember keep going back to the store (Babbages) to pick up peripherals and more games, never been so crazy about a system, period. That agetec stick changed my life, the VGA box changed my life, the arcade ports changed my life even further than the Saturn, and the bootlegging changed my life too, I mean this system is dear to me for so many reasons, I love my DC (all 3), it's the only system besides my x360 and PS3 that's hooked in the living room TV via VGA, not even the wii made the cut.
DC 4LF, not the best system for me but definitely a very dear to my heart system, it was nice being there at the inception, same time NGPC was happening too, so everything was just awesome during those days.
My first run unto this forums was lurking via DC 56k...good times...

I was probably buying games every week for that system. Who could forget PSO on 56k. I played that shit for over 100+ hours.

The Dreamcast was the first Sega system I was really excited about. Street Fighter Alpha 3, Virtua Fighter 3TB and Power Stone were awesome. The Neo Geo ports were solid as well.
Hmmm….I'll have to go grab the Marvel vs Capcom games now before the price goes higher….

I interpret "solid" as a euphemism for mediocre.
