in less than a month it will be September 9th the day that dreamcast was released in America.

There was only 248 games released for the system in it's lifespan of only a few years. Yes there were more games in japan but nobody cares about Japan.

I first hated the system due to how the 32X, Sega CD, and Saturn failed. But I eventually grew to appreciate it after everything was discounted because stores were getting rid of things at rock bottom prices and I wound up with 80 something games.

its good that all the dreamcast games worth playing either have superior sequels or ports to superior platforms because goddamn that was not a good console

downloading the almost finished half life port and playing through it was pretty cool

i also really liked the analog stick, but the controller definitely could have used two of them

It's not that great to be honest, the panel may look like it came straight off a NAOMI cab but all the parts are cheap clones rather than the Sanwa stuff used in the arcade and it's all weird sizes so you can't even swap them easily. I say this as someone who spent three months' worth of allowance on it back in the day only to finally just give up and go back to a pad.

Illbleed is not a good game.

It is a magical experience, but not a good game.

Yeah, it and a couple of fighters will only let you use the D-pad to move and such. And it's not the WORST d-pad but that motherfucker is made out of adamantium and has no loving give and sharp (at least for a dpad) corners. After awhile you start to get a callus like loving child workers that knit all day but I don't get to play MvC2 that much anymore so... yeah.
