Bitmob Wants You: To Write About the Dreamcast

By Dan Hsu
Tuesday, 25 August 2009

Leave it up to The Beatles to upstage a very, very important anniversary that that we should all be celebrating. On 9/9/09 -- sure, a certain music-rhythm game is due out. But it's also the Dreamcast's 10-year anniversary.

Did that reminder just fill your little body with shivers of nerd glee? Good -- you're the right person for the job.

We need Bitmob community members to write about the Dreamcast...however they want. Lists of great games? Personal anecdotes? Reviews? Retrospectives? Cartoons? Poems? Tales of dead VMUs? R-rated fan fiction about your forbidden love for the hardware? (Sorry, we have this on the mind....)

Post it and we'll promote the best stuff to a special Bitmob Spotlight: Dreamcast Edition or to the front page itself. Or at the very least, you'll have your article up in the Mobfeed for everyone to read.

Get your stories up before Sunday, September 6 to make it in time for our week-long celebration. And don't forget to tag them "Dreamcast" (without the quotes)!

I guess I have no excuse not to write anymore. I loved my Dreamcast.

I posted a Dreamcast Retrospective about a week ago. I had such a great time writing about it. I can't wait to re-hook it to celebrate the 10th ani!

Man, the Dreamcast was my first true love when it comes to game consoles. No system before it gave me so many enjoyable hours of awesomeness. I'll see what I can crank up before the deadline!

Shenmue was the shizzle! I loved playing that game! Like watching a movie I could control!

Dreamcast, what a ride that was. I still have a serious DC collection and I also have a good ideaq for a blog to celebrate the big 10 year anniversary!

Oh man. The mighty DC. It ruined my last year in high school. I may have to write something about that, haha.

I played my dreamcast for 8 years until it finally gave up on me last year. During the 8 years, i used this trick to keep it alive.

I downloaded all the rare dreamcast games off torrents and tried to finish every one of them on easy mode. I miss the old SEGA games and Yu Suzuki.
