My favourite console... Power Stone 2, Skies of Arcadia, Timestalker, RE: Code Veronica, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, House of the Dead, etc. A truly gem of a console. Love.
I was there is the late 90s as owner of a Megadrive when Sega started coming out with hardware piece after hardware piece. I didn't like it no one that I knew liked it. It felt old, cheesy and a disservice to loyal fans.
Megadrive was at its peak in Europe, all they had to do as keep those consumers happy with more games and output a single truly next gen console, a real successor.
When me and my brother a few years latter contemplated the possibility of going Playstation or Saturn the choice was clear. We didn't trust Sega and Sony's software lineup was way more robust and next-gen.
Years latter my brother got a Dreamcast. Now that was a proper machine, loved it to death and is looking back my favorite console in large part due to the controller (VMU rocked) and amazing games. However it suffered with Sega's past choices and most preferred continuing with Sony offering as the writing was on the wall: Sega was going down, fast.
Final note, thanks for the article. Though a Nintendo focus site I love your retrogaming articles and hope you continue to published them with the current (outstanding I should say) quality.
