The Dreamcast system is, in a word, awesome. Fire up Soul Calibur, and instantly you'll appreciate that the graphics and gameplay are even better than in the arcade version. And Sonic Adventure, with its light-speed gameplay, is sure to wow even the most jaded gamer. It's amazing that such a small machine (it's about the size of your mouse pad) can deliver such incredible performance. Chalk it up to superior engineering. Dreamcast's only downside is that it comes with only one controller and a demo disc. In order to truly take advantage of Dreamcast's capabilities, we recommend outfitting the controller with a Jump Pack and a Visual Memory Unit. Getting one or more extra controllers is also a good idea, because some of the best Dreamcast games support up to four players at once.

This thing was really nice untill the PS and Xbox came out. I still have one in working condition!

So do I! I love all the amazing 2D fighting games that were released, and crazy games like Rez and Space Channel 5, even if they were ultimately released for the PS2.

My favorite games are: Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Crazy Taxi and Loony Toons Space Race. Sonic will always be my most favorite game! :-)

Crazy Taxi is a wicked game. Sonic Adventure is awesome too. I never beat it though, I wonder how the later levels were. Maybe I should try it again.

The dreamcast can easily run burnt games. They are all over bitTorrent. I have one and love it. I also never be Sonic either. The big fishing guy was obnoxious.

Easily one of the slickest consoles ever, but unfortunately it fell victim to a terrible marketing campaign and failed to capitalize on the head-start it had in the next-gen console market wars. Soul Calibur remained the best-looking console game (on any system) long after its release and arguably until the second generation of PS2 and Xbox games. *sigh* getting nostalgic...so many hours invested =)

I should get take it out and download some ROMs... Power Stone is really fun too.
