Dreamcast

Who had 1 of these? I didn't, but i've played Sonic Adventure on it once or twice. And why'd it go bankrupt.. it seemed pretty good to me.

It went under because of Sega's failure with the Saturn and programming difficulties.

The Dreamcast was awesome, I still have mine.

It was a nice little system, but the PS2 destroyed it.

The Dreamcast went down because of a lack of marketing by Sega. And Sega never really launched the console in Belgium and the Netherlands because they had a dispute with some shops. (Only a minor thing but still)

I really liked this console and I'm gonna buy one of these someday. Probably in the summer when I got more time and cash.

I played Dreamcast once or twice.

I REALLY hated the behemoth controller.

..but why does my generation have to be the biggest stain on the history of pop-culture?

It's true that the system didn't get many exceptional games. There was a definite lack of third party support. Also, most of the standout, must-play games on the system were ported to other systems later.
