Classic Console RetroSpective

-NarcolepticNinja-

Tonight ill be reviewing a console or somewhat giving it some sort of recognition that it rightfully
deserves and so, I present the "Dreamcast" shing!...
from my own knowledge the dreamcast was originally designed by a dying company named Sega(all thanks to Nintendo and Sony)
Sega attemptedto wipe-out and replace the playstation and n64 fad, bad move!, because the dreamcast was released to a little more than a year before the ps2, so of course gamers divert their attention to the newer generation of consoles which led(with the exception of its first year) to a coniderably low sale of the said gaming system but enough about that.
this low profile console actually had interesting "firsts" such as supporting online play without any other expensive peripherals,(fuckk u x-box live!) thats innovation!

The dreamcast's memory card called the visual memory unit had it's share of great design from the makers, we all know that the primary purpose of a memory card is to save your game file so you could continue playing the game in the future without starting the game all over, but the "vmu" was more than that, it had a little screen and some buttons that actually was incorporated in some games like in the game resident evil the vmu showed the players health and some other doodad, which for me is great, and also the vmu could also be used as as standalone mini-game player, clock and address book. its all great!...

now I could go on and on about its cool and innovative peripherals but we all know that
what's inportant are the games ,here's a few gems the dreamcast provided.
