I was a big time Nintendo kid so I missed out completely on the Genesis/Dreamcast but I've since revisited the consoles to try and explore the library. I've been thinking of buying a dreamcast for close to a year now and probably finally will around Christmas so I can play Shenmue, D2 and other games, and I've also been thinking about getting a Saturn because it's got one of the most unique console libraries of the post-NES era.

I remember thinking vectorman was loving awesome when I was a kid and I played it again a few months ago and it kinda sucks. The camera is way too zoomed in for how fast you move as how high you can jump

i remember the final stages in vectorman 1 being completely awful lol. the last 2 i mean, the final boss stage looked cool as gently caress but it was a pain to actually play

according to the nerd it was a made up buzzword cause while the other specs were handily beaten by the SNES the processor on the genesis was still quite a bit faster and they blasted that out of proportion

videogame ads in the 90s were nuts, people were really after eachother's throats and now it's all white people sitting down having so much fun with the new console

It's interesting that even though we have all the infrastructure and then some, nobody has brought back the idea of the Sega Channel or Satellaview

Kind of but the channel and satellaview had a live component where you had to tune in for 2 hours to see what was happening. I guess that doesn't mesh with the modern sentiment of always on-demand entertainment

On the other hand stuff like Splatfests or Double XP weekends in COD substantially increase player counts so I don't think people are fundamentally opposed to the idea

UFC did cool poo poo where if you played a bunch online they had a ranking system each season and if you were top dog you got have to a 1 on 1 match with the other #1 player and Joe rogan did live commentary in the game somehow. That's a really cool idea for sports game and madden et al should definitely adopt it

there is a grain of truth to blast processing, the term comes from a programming technique that lets you draw high-colour images by "blasting" graphics into memory at precise times between scanlines, but the marketing people didn't understand anything the tech people told them except the word "blast" so they just made up some bullshit and ran with it

I didn't have one but my neighbor did and I thought Sonic was Epic! For The Win! Then I seen a speedrun of Crusader of Centy and that's my favorite sega game, though I've never played it. DemoniusX has a video where he picks up a Sega Dreamcast disk of Virtua Tennis and says that Serena Williams looks like the poo poo he took and left in the toilet this morning, and on the jewel case you can see his reflection and he's completely naked whilst doing the Sega Dreamcast collection video.
