Do you know the reason why Dreamcast is out in the past?

It not PS2. it that Sega dont market DC properly. their technology of DC is too advanced in that time, that why many people love DC because of the grahpic, the grahpic is the same as Xbox 360, im not kidding

On Nintendo and N64 I liked the Zelda and Starfox(only for N64) games...

And Goldeneye on the 64 was the best 1st-person shooter...until halo...i loved wasting time inside these games!
