Retro Gaming: Why A Sega Dreamcast Is Worth Buying In 2021

Should You Buy A Sega Dreamcast In 2021

Should you buy a Sega Dreamcast in 2021? Well, for starters, yes. It’s fun. It’s a piece of gaming history - but the good part. The bad parts were the Saturn and 32X. The Dreamcast debuted the 2K sports simulation line up, had some fun racing titles, some creme de la creme fighting games, and some dope RPGs as well.

We’re going to talk about a few of the fun accessories the Dreamcast has, and how it really was THE console to bring the arcade experience home on. And that price compared to an arcade terminal is a steal.

We’re going to talk about why retrogaming on this thing is a must to not just have a fun gaming experience, but a profoundly human experience, as you can imagine you are kindred spirits with the gamers who have passed before you on the same system. As I am writing this, I am channeling the spirits of the great, mediocre, and hackey writers who have sat before their keyboards, wondering what to write. In that same way, with a Dreamcast, you could hold that controller and imagine the worlds gamers were trying to escape from in 1999. Maybe you could communicate with them through the Dreamcasts’ email system. Tell them to invest in Rockstar Games. And to collect a lot of long games to play for 2021 - it’s going to be a long year!

I never had a Dreamcast, but I recently bought one and man, love at start button.

[grahambirch]

The Dreamcast had some great games. Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, Virtua Tennis, Soul Caliber, Jet Set Radio, Ready to Rumble. DC was a classic console.

[Gnik]

I recently hit a retro store and bought “House Of The Dead 2” and brought back so many memories!

[ZellSin]

Still waiting for Dreamcast Mini to come out some day.

[The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane]

I still have a Dreamcast since Christmas 2000. It's one of my favorite game consoles of all-time.

[MARRANCA]

I'm still playing my Dreamcast. I have always loved that console

[bpcgos]

All dreamcast games is literally a hidden gem, none of them is bad, even their sports games is awesome

[michaelthebarbarian]

People are even still making games for it. I love my DC.

[kidyugi]

Bro back in 99 I had so many games. I simply just download the game and burnt in on a CD and play it.

[Riz]

I think it's a great system, I think the graphics still look pretty damn good to this day. I once found one in a goodwill and bought it for 13 bucks, so cheap

[kurtismonasterski]

I still have mine and I took such good care of it, it’s practically mint condition I would never sell it. I have brand new vmus and sonic 1 and 2 brand new with house of the dead and resident evil. Best console ever made so ahead of its time. No wonder prices for them are going up.

[Matucks]

I have a Switch, Xbox Series X, modded Wii & Dreamcast, and a very capable PC Gaming setup, my children have the most fun playing the Dreamcast and modded Wii, the games are super fun, they love Ready 2 Rumble, Power Stone, House of the Dead the most

I recently purchased a Dreamcast from EBAY! Soul Calibur and Crazy Taxi are out for delivery today 😂

[PixelShade]

I have had my Dreamcast hooked up to the TV since 2000 and it still works and feels like new. And the main reason I am going back to it is because the games library is so good. In a world where every game is an "open world", the dreamcast offer something quite refreshing. It's the perfect arcade at home offering fun and short "arcade thrills". I mean, sure, the console had a library with great variety, with longer games like Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Re: Code Veronica etc. but all in all, those are not the games I necessarily go back to today. today I go back to play some Crazy Taxi, House of the Dead II, Daytona USA, Dead or Alive II, Soul Calibur, Marvel vs. Capcom, Virtua Tennis, Zero Gunner etc. I miss the days when games where fun and simple, and didn't demand your time as much. :)

I love sega but it's unfortunate that yall loved the ps2 so much when sega needed us.

[zackr.]

I love my dreamcast. I play this console the most. I'd rather play that than my ps5

[Angel--ik]

i had three consoles in my life DC PS4 XBOX SERIES S and the console that impacted me the most was the DC

[BrotagonalZenithine]

Goin strong for 22 years to the day. Happy Anniversary, Sega Dreamcast. 👍🏾💯

[marklechman]

My DC is my favorite retro console, it’s a beast.

[tollpatschny]

I liked that they were willing to experiment. Seaman was weird as hell and I loved it.
