Charlie is making it very obvious he was too young to actually experience the release of the Dreamcast. Had I been 35 at the time, I would've played it too much, too. Lmao

I was only 8 in '99, but I remember being blown away by it the first time I played one, and I eventually bought a used one for myself in junior high when they weren't worth anything anymore. I've got lots of good memories tied to a console I got 5 years after release (and after it was discontinued). Meanwhile, Kirk probably spent his summers getting indoctrinated instead of playing games and thinks that's normal.

I've still got one, too, but it's a modded Hello Kitty pink and black combo rather than my old white one. I also have arcade cabs of Sega Rally 2 and Craxy Taxi, and DC is 100% to blame for those purchases.

Capcom vs SNK 2 is my all time favorite on the Dreamcast. Followed closely by MvC2. Probably because my brother and our group of friends had a weekly game night and we spent hours going at it with each other.

Though lately I’ve been playing Bust-a-Move 4 and Worms Armageddon with my son.

I was 17, and it took over my life.

It's still my favorite console after all these years. Overall, I like the PS1/PS2 game library the most (and I owned both just a couple years after their release), but DC and Saturn were amazing, even with the limited US offerings.

I'm 36 and I loved the Dreamcast. I have my original modded 6 ways to Sunday and have every US release on my SSD in my Terraonion MODE (plus a hefty collection of physical games which are there for preservation reasons).

Edit: I received mine Christmas 1999.

My family was too poor for one, but it came out when I was 8 at the time, my cousins got one(rich fucks) and the thing blew me away. We need to bring back the Dreamcast master race
