The Dreamcast is a home video game console released by Sega on September 9, 1999 in North America. The Dreamcast was Sega’s final home console, and ended up marking the end of the company’s 18 years in the console market. The Dreamcast was just ultimately too advanced (and thus too expensive) for its era. It had internet connectivity, MMO opportunities, video screens on its memory cards, etc. though cool just was not popular at that time.
