It is undeniable that the dreamcast was a solid machine that had good games and a sleek look, but was ultimately overshadowed by the goliath that is the PS2.

What do you guys think, how could the Dreamcast kept surviving? Should SEGA thought reeling back the Saturn?

It certainly was praised, but didn’t get the chance it needed, personally I considered it to be a part of the prior gen (N64, PS1)

Let me know your thoughts!

    Growing up then, I seem to recall the nail in the coffin was around the time we could use discjuggler to burn to standard CDRs.

    3rd party games kinda tanked when anyone with a burner could download and burn the iso with no mod chip.

      I think this is it. Within weeks I had downloaded every game from usenet and the only money Sega made from me was buying samba de amigo to get the maraca controllers.

      It was a mistake too - so many games to play that I never committed to anything and got bored and stopped playing anything.

        I feel like the system was neat but it only had a handful of games that I kept coming back to.
