Cosmic Smash - Squash isn't just for blue-bloods.
Cosmic Smash - Squash isn't just for blue-bloods.
Apparently ThinkGeek.com is currently selling brand new Sega Dreamcasts on its store. The system that spelled the death-knell for Sega hardware has always been tinged in romantic emotions for most players, so if you missed out the first time around or really don't trust eBay now is your chance. I remember picking up mine on 9/9/99 while waiting in line at a Babbage's in some mall in Maryland. I later lost a full summer of my life playing Virtua Tennis, ChuChu Rocket, and Power Stone for hours on end.

While I doubt the machine's 56k modem and web browser disc will get much use (though please send us a screenshot if you can load up Giant Bomb on it), there are still a lot of classic titles that I'd recommend checking out if you missed the era. Jeff chimed in over IM to recommend that if you're looking to get the full benefit of this North American Dreamcast you can grab an import boot disc so you can play classic titles like Rez, Ikaruga and Cosmic Smash. Personally, I would highly recommend checking out the awesomely broken but ambitious game that is Omikron: The Nomad Soul, which was hyped at the time for having a digital David Bowie play some tunes in the game's local space-bar. Both the slightly better PC version and the DC version are hard to find though, so be wary. Here's the music video just for nostalgia's sake... and to show that marketing tricks like Korn recording a new song for Haze are soooo 1999.

I was a big fan of both Jet Grind Radio and Virtua Tennis. Also, NFL2K was the only football game that I ever liked. We used to play that into the ground. There was also Demolition Racer. That game got a ton of play. Skies of Arcadia is rad too. I could go on and on...

I don't know what's more bizarre - the fact that ThinkGeek is doing this, or that I'm probably going to buy one.

I still have my Japanese console modded to play just about anything you could play on it.  It works fine and the only stupid thing is the squealing VMU when you turn the system on, but those thing always did that.

I've got the Nomad soul, it was a freaky game but really cool. Once you got into that game you never came out of it. Digital David Bowie was the absolute highlight of the Dreamcast for me.

During the death knell of the DC I picked up a copy of Seaman for $7 and my world was NEVER the same.

A cheap copy of Shenmue would also be on my list of personal favorites, and I STILL sometimes wish that there were servers running PSO.

That is awesome but I cannot rationalize this purchase at this time. Still swallowing the DSi and SFIV Tournament Edition stick I picked up earlier this month.

Wow, I'm surprised many of you guys don't already own one.  I bought mine within weeks of release and remember being soooo happy! :)

No wonder Sega had to leave the Hardware Scene, it's all because of people like you! :p

Seriously though, GREAT GAMES to be had on the DreamCast!!!

As much as I'd love to have a new Dreamcast for the first time, I could just go ahead and buy it used for half as much.

Can someone explain the love the Dreamcast gets to me? I really don't get it. Not trying to be a dick or anything, I'm legitimately curious as to why so many people hold DC in such high regard?

I'll show you mom for making Christmas of 99 so sad!  This is where I reclaim my childhood by buying a system even after I bought most the games I wanted when they were ported to other systems!

Would Omikron even work on modern PC's? Apparently not since this petition exists. Not that I would've been able to track down the game anyway. They should re-release it on Steam or something.

I still have 2 of these machines, there packed away.  Don't have much use for them now...  Unless I feel I need to play a game of Crazy Taxi, which in my opinion was the systems best game. 

Also use to use the boot disc to load up some SNES, Genesis emulators back in the day.  Definitely a classic console.

Anyone really looking for one pm me and maybe I'll sell one of them.

$99?!?!?  No thanks, the thought is cool, but I can walk down to the local game store and get one with two controllers for $35.  Granted not new, but who cares it isn't like I'm buying it to keep it in its box anyway.

Simple, its one of the greatest consoles ever with a high percentage of its library being some of the best, most innovative, most original, most fun games ever made.

Fuck, they're already out of stock. How did they get a shipment of new Dreamcasts? That's bizarre.
