Poor Dreamcast. I remember playing Crazy Taxi every minute I could while at my cousins house for the summer of 2000. Some of my best gaming memories were because of that system.
 
If I can ever find a (somewhat) cheap Dreamcast on eBay or anywhere else, I'm totally going to buy one.

Since I live in Europe, I should not be celebrating its 10th birthday for another month or so but HAPPY BIRTHDAY anyway! For me the DC was all about Shenmue I&II (For some reason Shenmue II was never released on DC in the US, but it was released here) and Skies of Arcadia. I still think that Shenmue is in the top 10 of best games of all time, it was more than a game, it was as close to virtual reality you could get with a small screen TV and a home console.

I don't give a fuck what people say, some of those 3D Sonic games were a lot of fun. I had so many nostalgic memories with the Sonic Adventure games.   Also, Sonic Unleashed was also fun. "

I bought a Dreamcast about a year after it came out. It came bundled with Sega GT and Jet Grind Radio. My favorite games were NFL 2K1, NBA 2K series, Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Toy Commander. I think I kept it for a year and traded it in for what, I can't remember. It was a pretty good console not in my top five though.

YEA 9/9/09 10 years man!!!  I might have to throw in Crazy Taxi and pick up some fares....  Oh while at it I'll kick some ass in SF3!!!!  That system was really such a great machine, too bad it got so hacked that Sega decided it wasn't worth making games on it   =(

I recently bought Toy Commander after a recommendation here.  I've never played any of those popular US sports games... I should probably get some of the NBA games to add to my collection. I'll have to look into which ones were considered good.

Happy Birthday Dreamcast.
 
   
Also,  regarding  the yellowing of the console,  someone  found a way to remove it :

Oh man, I should really fix my Dreamcast. Damn CD readers fucked up.
 
Anyhoos. Happy Dreamcast Day! The console that could've been!

I was wondering what was up with all these Quick Look Throwbacks today.  Now my questions have been answered.

NBA 2K2 was the best and last one for the system, but all three were pretty good games. There's a couple of Jam games out there if you're interested in arcade basketball. NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC wasn't bad. "

Ah, the Dreamcast. It died at too young an age. I still love it with all my heart, and it is sitting in a bag next to my PS2 in my basement. Maybe I should play it today. Naw, the Beatles: Rock Band is out.

I'd play my Dreamcast today but unfortunately I don't have a VMU for the controller. I remember playing Hydro Thunder and Sonic Adventure on a friend's console back in the day. Too bad such an awesome system had such a short life span.

Omg...I forgot its dreamcast day.    Well its a shame I don't have one...I remember the old days of the dream cast.  Its just a shame that they didn't continue with the gaming machine.

Why do you have pics of William in your image folder?, that's just wrong dude. lol. On a positive note, at least you've stopped typing in italics. 

Its cause hes my special friend, or because he kept uploading them without knowing you only had to do it once to be able to use it whenever you want, ill teach him later how to delete them.
As for that i never had a problem with his italics.

Hell yeah Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 were AWESOME, Sonic Heroes was also OK, Shadow Sucked ok cant say anything there, Sonic 06 if it werent for all the glitches would have been a good game, it was Sonic Adventure 3 sorta. Sonic Unleashed had some good ideas, but was bad, the emblems you had to get to enter the levels REALLY ruined the game. "

Have you play the Wii & PS2 game? It's different from the PS3 & 360 game and it got better reviews.
 
Sonic Unleashed is a good game and it was much much better than Sonic 06. Seriously, I didn't agree with the critics. When I read the reviews for the game, it was almost like they were playing a completely different game from what I was playing. For example, the music, the music was fantastic in that game but critics wrote it off as forgettable which I found ridiculous. I get the feeling critics hate 3D Sonic games because they're 3D Sonic games. What people want out of Sonic is for Sega to stop making 3D Sonic games and just make 2D games again. 
 
Also, people are kind of like the same vein with Metriod Prime and the 3D Castlevania games. For Castlevania, people never wanted to believe that a 3D Castlevania game will never work because people are overly nostalgic for the 2D games. But with Metriod Prime, which was a great series, people look at that and were like, "Yeah the 2D games are better."  There are people who want Nintendo to abandon their 3D efforts and just make 2D games again as well.  "

 Special friends you say...  Wow, maybe Giant Bomb is that kind of community under the veil... I got the impression a lotta people did. For me it wasn't so much the italics but more the fact they were bold also.  "
