I had a lotta fun on the Genesis and Dreamcast but Nintendo all the way.
Sega Channel could maybe have swayed me but I never had that.

game gear could have been awesome if the battery lasted more than 2 seconds

game gear had the master system converter, and was the first colour hand held. ahead of its time. i have a lot of respect for the way sega constantly innovated and stood by their mistakes - unlike nintendo who practically laughed gunpei yokoi out of the bulding as soon as the virtual boy flopped

although I bought the dolphin game but couldn't figure out how to get past the second board, or even to win the damn practice race. It was fun to swim around though.

dreamcast was DOPE: Chu Chu Rocket, Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, JGR, Shenmue, Seaman, SF3 Alpha, Rez, Power Stone, Dino Crisis, Grandia II...

DC game I should probably be embarrassed that I loved but fuck it: 18 Wheeler
― begs the question, when is enough enough (Euler), Saturday, 20 February 2010 20:28 (fourteen years ago) link
its kinda bcum standard gamer challops 2 say but dc really did have an unfuckwithable line-up for the whole 18 months it was on the mkt. and btw on-line standard, vmus, fishing controllers, samba de amigo &c &c sega put mad innovation into the console.
realistically tho no1 can fuk w/the snes for all-time
― just supersayin (Lamp), Saturday, 20 February 2010 20:33 (fourteen years ago) link
vmus were pretty strange: I had two of them but never really played any of the games on them and kinda thought wtf at the whole idea
― begs the question, when is enough enough (Euler), Saturday, 20 February 2010 20:35 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, at first it's kind of a neat thing to see but it wasn't really utilized at all. Nintendo tried to use a similar idea with the GC/GBA connectivity with horrible results.

DC, oxymoronically, ahead of its time and behind it simultaneously

i will say that the dreamcast might be my all-time least favorite controller.
― forksclovetofu, Saturday, 20 February 2010 21:19 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah seriously.
great lil' system while it lasted though!
― nitzer ENBB (latebloomer), Saturday, 20 February 2010 21:27 (fourteen years ago) link
I bought it on day one and played the shit out of Soul Calibur for years
― nitzer ENBB (latebloomer), Saturday, 20 February 2010 21:29 (fourteen years ago) link
why was the cord attached facing the player and not the system? Never got that.
― forksclovetofu, Saturday, 20 February 2010 21:31 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah! that always confused me too.
― nitzer ENBB (latebloomer), Saturday, 20 February 2010 21:36 (fourteen years ago) link
I bought it on day one it started selling for $50 (i.e. the day it was discontinued).
The controller sucked but it's been a great toy for my son, who used it as "his xbox" before he was old enough to know better.

lol loved this too
crazy taxi mini games, just fucking addictive beyond belief.

I played the hell out of Crazy Taxi to get that S-ranking... I think the bowling minigame made me turn it off for good, though.

dreamcast controller is my second favorite controller of all time ;_;

My considered verdict: eh is ok
Physics are weird, it feels slow, level design is too reliant on bottonless pits (Casino Street zone is cordially invited to lick me), music is bland and unmemorable, yet still the best the franchise has been in 15 years.

Dimps can make decent Sonic games (see also sonic advance series and sonic rush 1)

It's all over here except for the final boss, and I'll be damned if I can remember a single tune from the soundtrack. Which, considering that the series used to sound like this:
