I Bought a Sega Dreamcast in 2024

One console I've always considered getting was the very last console made by Sega before becoming just game developers, the Sega Dreamcast. The home console that brought us such amazing games like Sonic Adventure 1, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Shuffle, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Power Stone, and so many more. While the console didn't do well during it's lifetime, it's still loved by a loyal community today that continue to play and enjoy what it has to offer. Growing up I played on the PlayStation and Nintendo consoles, so this is my very first Sega console. So how did it go buying a console that was released in 1999 in 2024? Lets find out.

I just want to say thank you for all the support on this video. It’s been fun reading people stories on getting their Dreamcast, and all the game recommendations. Many of you also gave me so much advice on the console and reasons for why mine had some issues. And here is where I have some bad news, as some of you mentioned, my disc drive is going, so I can either replace it, or do what many suggested, getting a GDEMU. I would love to obtain the real games for a collection, but learning the cds can deteriorate, the best choice to make is going with GDEMU. It’ll take time to receive it but once it’s in I plan to make more videos on this amazing console. Plus now I can get every game you all suggested. Shenmue, crazy taxi, rayman 2, resident evil, sonic, etc.. Thank you all again for liking, subscribing, and commenting, it’s mean a lot to me.

Content creators saying they were “surprised to learn” Sega made consoles are the moments I feel my age… 😩

Still have my Dreamcast 20+ years later.

These prices are out of control. Collectors - stop it. These retro systems need to be accessible if you want companies to keep catering to us. Anything over $60 is insane. It's a dreamcast, not a CDX.

Real Dreamcast controllers never get stick drift.

I'm so old, I feel like this video is a report a student made in history class, and I'm the teacher listening who lived that history lol.

Tell me you were born in the 90s, without telling me you were born in the 90s.

“Sega had its own line of consoles ?!” …

The Dreamcast is my favorite console of all time. Enjoy your Dreamcast!

Shenmue is mindblowing.
Skies of Arcadia very very good.

a game I can recommend for the Sega Dreamcast is Crazy Taxi, it's a game about being in a taxi driving people to their destination while avoiding traffic laws, it's incredibly fun so if you find a copy for a fair price, I recommend getting it

It’s so nice to hear about younger generations getting into older consoles. Especially Sega who was such a huge player in the 90s. I grew up with Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast and couldn’t recommend them enough. As far as recommendations go I’m going to recommend Soul Caliber, Shenmue and House of the Dead. All are pretty affordable still. Also if you have access to a VGA adapter connect the Dreamcast up to a desktop monitor. The picture is so clear it could be mistaken for modern gaming. I also really recommend the Saturn library if you like anything with Japanese influence

The Dreamcast was the first console I bought with my first part time job in high school. Still my favorite console till this day. I'm a little envious that you get to experience if for the first time like many of did years ago. Digging your channel and keep up the great content!

55 for Sonic also is an absurd price….

Power stone was one of the best fighting games for Dreamcast.

I bought a sega saturn in 2024. I love the console. If sega didn't fumble so hard it could've been able to properly compete with the ps1.

The fact US stores sell consoles without controllers or cables necessary to run it will always be an alien concept to me.
Here you physically cannot hand one in without these things, nor can you buy them without them in highstreet stores.

[Moncriefs]

This was the first time I've ever "felt old"🤣🤣🤣. So happy you got to experience the actual console man. I have so many core memories attached to the Dreamcast.

[lopezjose]

one thing i HIGHLY recommend, it's getting a Dreamcast VGA cable, and a decent vga to hdmi adapter, trust me the difference on image quality is mind blowing

[roninxix]

The VMU was awesome, when playing football you could see your plays on it so that the other player didn’t know what was picked.

I bought a dreamcast on 1999 and it was not what i was expecting
