I remember that Dreamcasts published in brazil (by a company named TecToy) came bundled without a modem. The imported ones had them. How stupid was that? I think they wanted to cut costs.
Either cost-cutting or they didn't think the Brazilian market would see use for this feature, just like Nintendo didn't think countries other than Japan would want the Famicom Modem :wthink:
I don't know why the Dreamcast flopped; it had good hardware, good games, online play, and the price difference with its competitors wasn't too big. Guess the world just wasn't ready at the time, just like they weren't for tablets.

I remember I was wonderstruck the first time I saw Resident Evil Code Veronica being played in a Dreamcast, sometime later I bought one and had many hours of fun with it. I was really sorry that SEGA let it die out in favor of being a software develeopment company only. I think there was a stiff competition with Playstation 2 in the 2000s.
I never had one, but a local supermarket had it on sale and they'd let you play for free. My favorites: Sonic Adventure, House of the Dead 2 and Crazy Taxi.
Nothing beats PS 2 slim :D
My favs are Sonic Adventures 2, House of the Dead 2, Resident Evil Code Veronica, Mars Matrix, Power Stone 2 (loads of coop fun), Ikaruga, Capcom vs SNK, Marvel vs Capcom 2 (with downloaded save file to have entire roster unlocked), HeadHunter and Shenmue series.
Yeah, the Playstation 2 and SNES Super Nintendo were the consoles I most spent time playing.
When I just remember playing God of War 1&2, Persona 3&4, brings back smile on my face. Best games ever! :top:
I really wanted to have a PS2 after I found out it had ports of GTA Vice City and The Simpsons Hit & Run, but its price in my area was some $500, so the answer from my parents was no.
One or two years later they'd eventually get me a computer that could run both games, and which I still have to this day. The Simpsons one was less fun than I thought (essentially being a family-friendly version of GTA), but Vice City is a classic.
It's funny I never played Vice City :shockkk!:
I didn't play a single GTA game in my life :P
Well, the aforementioned San Andreas is a good one if you want to start. I always found the sandbox/free-roaming aspect of these games more interesting than their actual storylines.

I saw this and remembered our Dreamcast talk here. Looks like Sega will join the trend of releasing "mini" versions of classic consoles. Nintendo did it with their NES and Super NES and enjoyed decent success; Sony did it with the original PlayStation and it flopped, although I can't really see what they did badly or differently in comparison to Nintendo. In any case, one thing that would have made a major difference (and maybe Sega will get right) as far as I'm concerned is the ability to download and run ROMs, instead of being limited to preloaded ones.
Also, the line between "bringing great games from the past to a new generation" and "cashing on old glory without having to do anything new" tends to be thin with this sort of projects...
