EGM asked on its cover if 9.9.99 was "The Biggest 24 Hours in Entertainment History?" It was one of the most significant, most memorable system launches in a lot of gamers' lives. The sense of renewed enthusiasm was palpable -- Sega was back, baby...in a huge, huge way.
Yet, despite all that energy and excitement, the system didn't stick. The Dreamcast flashed brightly and flickered away just as quickly, lasting about as long as a VMU battery.
The console is dead, but judging by the number of articles Bitmob users have put together for the 10th anniversary of its launch, very few gamers have forgotten it. We'll join the community with a few posts of our own, starting with a very revealing podcast with one of the former members of the Dreamcast team.
