It's the last console that I was passionate about. The last time a new system and games felt special.
I most certainly agree.
The Dreamcast came out not too long after I had entered the workforce, so it was the first system that I could really buy at launch without begging the parents to buy it for me for Christmas. Several months (March?) before the US launch I found out a store in another part of the state had Japanese systems in stock, so I drove over there and grabbed the system with Virtua Fighter 3tb. Shortly afterwards, I had Sonic Adventure, KOF 98, and Marvel vs Capcom. A rental store near me got a Japanese system and some games as a package, but the owner let me rent the games individually, so I played a bit of Soul Calibur, HOTD2 and Frame Gride as well.
I loved the system right up until the demise, and the sudden discontinuation was like a punch in the gut. I played the thing nonstop for years, but once I unplugged it I have barely touched it since, which is a shame. I had a bit of a revival last year, picking up some new games and the system was just as much fun now as it was then.
I want to play it now, but I recently moved and I don't know where the RGB cable or VGA box is!
