Requiem for a Dreamcast

videolamer | August 16, 2007 | Blog | Dreamcast 
The Sega Dreamcast had a short lifespan and little financial success, but the console has much to teach about the gaming industry. One of the more important lessons - a system can fail due to outside politics.
If you can think of a genre, chances are the Dreamcast has a game that will change the way you perceive it. It may also show you genres you didn’t think existed. The Dreamcast is a microcosm of the modern day debate about innovation in gaming. On one hand, the console was a financial failure. On the other hand, some of its most innovative games still have few or no equals. If you ever get the feeling that you are growing tired of gaming, I cannot think of a better cure than the Dreamcast.
