Dreamcast
Older 32 and 64-bit systems: still alive and kicking?

The Dreamcast is the best video game system ever made. There, I said it. I'll take on anyone who disagrees in a barfight or walk-off. I'm not fucking around.

So with that in mind, you can now appreciate the pain I feel when finally (though it's been a long time coming), Sega pulled the plug on GD-ROM development, ending all official production for the Dreamcast. While the units are able to run software with self-booting code on normal CD-R media, this console could have, should have been Sega's saving grace, but because of the fucked launch on both side of the Pacific and Sega of America having its head in its ass for all time, it was never meant to be.

That said, it brought a glimmer of hope to my eye when I read this article: good consoles never die, they just go to homebrew heaven. I mean, the Jaguar and the 3DO? If they're still kicking, then the Dreamcast is still only just beginning to stretch its legs!
