Loved the Dreamcast. Other than the lack of DVD player, I still think it was better than the PS2.

Quite a few games that were released on both consoles looked better and played more smoothly on the Dreamcast than they did on the supposedly more powerful PS2. Dave Mirra BMX is one that immediately comes to mind. It was way better on the Dreamcast.

Dreamcast finally let me access the internet from the privacy of my own room.

I'm going to take a bold position and say they were all good consoles. It was a beautiful time for video games.

Poor Sega. There just wasn't room for four consoles.

The PSX/N64/Saturn generation would've been better for this meme. Nintendo had its name, Sony had "two ninety nine", Sega had schizophrenic mismanagement and burnt bridges with retailers

Dreamcast is still my favorite console of all time.

The memory card ..... It was originally designed to even allow gaming on the card like a mini gameboy when disconnected. By now it would be. A steam deck that acts as a controller.... Huh reminds me of the vita.......

They do exist. For sonic adventure you could load a Chao onto it and it was basically a tamagotchi.

Dude yes I remember you could race the entire race on Wacky Racers with the controller. Felt so ahead of its time.
