And now Dreamcast is TEN years old today

Dreamcast launched in Japan on November 27th, 1998.

I cannot believe Mega Drive is 20 years old, and now Dreamcast is 10.

Dreamcast was a great system that started the previous generation of
consoles
(DC/PS2/GCN/Xbox).

Before the Dreamcast came out though, I had been expecting a Saturn
2 with PowerPC CPU and a Real3D GPU from Lockheed Martin with more
power than the MODEL 3 board (but the same family of tech), and that
could've been used as a MODEL 4 board, instead of NAOMI. I was kinda
disappointed when Sega went with Videologic/NEC PowerVR instead of
Lockheed Real3D, but it was a better choice than 3Dfx, without a
doubt.

Dreamcast had alot of great games (Soul Calibur, Shenmue, Crazy Taxi,
Skies of Arcadia, PSO)
but it wasn't enough to stop the PS2 war machine.

The Dreamcast was one of the best systems of all time. I was terribly
disappointed when Sega pulled out of the hardware business.

Most importantly, the Dreamcast didn't have EA Sports - specifically,
Madden.
