I absolutely loved my Sega Dreamcast and also convinced all my friends to get them as well. Crazy Taxi, Tony Hawk, and Unreal Tournament. I used to play Unreal through the dial up connection and like you said despite being dial up it still had good performance. I used to take my Dreamcast keyboard and put it on the floor and control the spacebar with my foot to duck. Me and my clan were B0SS on there!
Thanks for bringing back some memories!

Man, you had the keyboard Cool. Do you still have the dreamcast?
It is back in Indiana actually in my childhood bedroom but something happened to it where it wouldn't read disks any longer.
It was actually a really sad day when SEGA announced they were no longer going to make it. I remember the CEO crying.
Looking back on it I was a little Rat Bastard and despite loving the dreamcast so much that my handle was the dcposterboy I was part of its demise. Like you said the games were relatively easy to pirate. I remember getting on these sketchy Warez sites and downloading these 19mb .rar files on my dial up connection. Took forever and then you would assemble them together and burn them on a CD and the Dreamcast could read them. It was a weird thing because once everyone saw I could do that all my friends got Dreamcasts but SEGA wasn't making money on the consoles. They were making it on the games. :-(
I really wish they could come out with a new console. Hopefully the gaming market keeps expanding and one day there will be room for them to reenter the market!
