• The DC was and still is a sublime piece of kit. I actually have two of them in the house, plus the broadband adapter which fitted into my home network very nicely...
  I'd been waiting for the PS2 to come out, then tried my luck on Crazy Taxi - had to buy a console one the spot.
  The downside of this great piece of kit? No dvd player. Most people I spoke to were buying PS2s just for this (and now are buying PS3s with BlueRay for much the same reason...)
  The upside?
  The graphics (via the VGA) were easily better than the PS2, and just as good as the gamecube.
  Those weird chunky controllers, so ugly to look at, were practically bulletproof. I can't count how many PS or GC controllers I've had to replace over the years (thanks kids), but never a single one for the DC...
  The VMU, so cool for mini games, especially Time Stalkers...
  If you get really experimental, try running linux from it (if like me you bought a keyboard...)
  And so small and easy to store this console. It took up so little space under the TV, even less than the GC.
  And now I read that Sega might be considering DC2 (or some fanciful name) and have regregistered the 'Dreamcast' trademark.
  Offer to re-release Toy Commander and I'll put my name down on the waiting list now! In reply to: "Bring back the Sega Dreamcast"
