[ALL] SEGA Dreamcast released 15 years ago today...

[MrBill]

The SEGA Dreamcast launched 15 years ago today, on 9/9/99 and changed how we played games from that day forward. The built in 56k modem brought reliable online gaming to consoles and made it no longer a thing just for PC gamers. The VMU and controller were both really good as well.

How many of you had a Dreamcast back in the day?

Literally the GOAT

Literally the GOAT

Really? I never had one nor did I have ANY interest in ever owning one.

It seemed liked it was known for fighting games and JRPGs, which is probably why I didn't give two shits.

I will give you that. I slept on the sports games. I was jealous of the few people I knew that had a Dreamcast and 2K football back in the day. That shit looked light years better than Madden.

I had it......still have it somewhere in the house. Great sports titles, I played the hell out of NHL and NFL 2k on the Dreamcast, and still played them through high school until I graduated in 2006.

Marvel vs Capcom 2, Power Stone, Tony Hawk and of course NFL2k with the Randy Moss cheese. I never played it online back then.

I bought one day 1 with NFL 2K and Soul Calibur, system was amazing at the time. Still have it. World Series baseball 2K was also great too for it's time.

I never played that or any other baseball game on it. I might have to see if I can find a copy of it. I'd love to hear some other recommendations from people as to the games they liked to play.

They had most of the good players faces scanned or at least very closely resembling them, and they had about 40 of the star players at the time batting stances absolutely perfect. It was the first game ever to do McGwire's stance absolutely perfectly. The controls were really cool too as far as hitting, you would pull and hold the trigger and then let it go after moving the cursor to where you thought the pitch was going. Shit just writing that makes me want to pop it back in again.

Every 2K game after that was completely different and awful though, it had it's issues. It was CPU fielding and running I believe, so you only hit and pitched. Other than that I loved that game so much. All Star baseball on N64 was the only game that I enjoyed truly after it the original 2K baseball game on dreamcast. Triple Play was solid but I was an ASB guy on 64. You can find a copy for dirt cheap I would imagine, grab it and at least mess with it for a day it's worth it.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

I still plug in the first Ken Griffey Jr on N64 every once in a while. I believe I also still have an ASB copy as well, I believe it was the red cartridge so 2001?

My favorite baseball game of all time is mike piazza's strikezone on n64
