10 years ago today (9/9/1999 in the US), the Sega Dreamcast was launched. The quirky little console just won’t die and many fans have dubbed today Dreamcast Day in honor.
Though short-lived against Sony and it’s PS2 marketing propaganda, many gamers still love the console as many of the relatively few games that were released for are still great games.
Personally, I think I will pull out my own Dreamcast and play some classic Jet Grind Radio, Soul Calibur, and Toy Commander ^^.
Holy shit, I remember devoting hours of my life to Soul Calibur >_<

Hehe, that was our game of choice back in college. We’d spend hours dueling each other. Good times XD
Oh, so the 9/9/09 does have some relevance of something from the pass.
I thought it was just another original day. lol

Oh, I should add that that date is when it was released here. Sorry, this post is a bit US-centric ^^;
I am so going online with the Dreamcast browser when I get back home.
Sadly, it goes faster than my 28.8…
The best game i played in my friend’s Dreamcast is Skies of Arcadia. Too bad the game series is pretty much dead together with Dreamcast, even though it was re-released in Nintendo GameCube. Now, i can only see Vyse, Aika, and Fina (just the characters and not the games) in Valkyria Chronicles as my team members.

Ah, yes, that was one of the best DC RPG games ^^. I was personally more fond of Grandia II, but Skies of Arcadia is still a great game. Is Valkyria Chronicles similar? I should download the PS3 demo >_<
Unfortunately no… Valkyria is a totally different game, this game just borrowed Vyse and Aika as characters inside it, but it’s still a great game and fun to play.

I remember how i bought the Dreamcast from my g10th grade graduation Money back in 2001.
The dreamcast was already going down around that time but that didnt prevent me from getting her :P
