The November 27, 1998 went on sale in the Japanese market, of Sega Dreamcast . Today, just 10 years later, I would like to offer a heartfelt tribute to the likely machine is the most controversial of all the history of video games. Personally, I want to clarify that this machine has never appeared in my collection, but I played much in the house of two friends who had.
Sega
The project was born with the intention of taking off outside the territory of Japan, as Sega Saturn a great success for those parts, but passing over Europe and America was disastrous. The team to beat at that time was a Sony that boom PSX had obtained full hegemony in all markets and had wiped out the legacy that so many years had held Nintendo. Dressed in a seductive design apple, Dreamcast was a major technical leap in the emotion engine found his best ally, but the idea did not go as planned Sega. Despite its spectacular graphics power and the catalog of games, Dreamcast appeared in an intergenerational moment between 32/64 bits i the 128 which crashed on arrival, but soon cease to be a novelty. So, year and a half later, the launch of PS2 (March 2000) was a blow not to be much more potent, it was not, but for the reputation that the Playstation brand had achieved in the previous generation and Sony to make good time to sell the new product. Thus, Dreamcast was involved in a crusade intergenerational he had to fight against the phenomenon Ocarina of Time , trying to wipe out the untouchables Cloud , Squall and Zidane and soon to face Jack & Daxter and the whole range toe Sony grown and a parent.
The result already know everyone. In March 2001 Sega Dreamcast halted production and announced his withdrawal from the console market to become a third party more, leaving his last machine, such as Kurt Cobain Consoleros world. Since then, reality gave way to sadness, sadness to fantasiĆa fantasy and myth. For now, although there are many people who criticized Sega for its lack of ethics when the user left in the lurch, the reality is that most ancient worship Dreamcast owners of that machine. Do not ask me why, but his untimely death has become a martyr in the industry, a living legend. Good reasons do not miss these old Segata converted to xboxers because dreamcast had a large qualitative titles that marked an era. Many came from the same recreational Sega, others were continuations of old sagas and a few write their letters in gold within the videojueguil Olympus.
