The author intentionally plays bad video games for your twisted amusement. Tonight's episode: Alpha Protocol
Rovio “found it difficult to advance its initially planned business development,” says Sega.
Sato and his R&D team were responsible for the creation of Sega’s arcade and home console hardware, including the Master System, Genesis / Mega Drive, Saturn, and Dreamcast.
I still own those systems, and many games that were built for them.
Thank you for an amazing part of my childhood.
Rest in Peace Legend.
He joined SEGA in 1971, wow. The Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast hold the best memories for me, more so the Mega Drive. Thanks for the memories, Hideki-sama.
Sega's swan song, their best and most memorable console, the dreamcast. it will last for generations
Dreamcast was a very good console, with some minor setbacks, no 2nd stick and could've used a bit more disc space. The main thing that let it down was support, the short time it was on the market it did still bring in a bunch of really good titles, if only it had another 2-3 years and more longer story based games as well as the arcade games.
I would say because of the above the Mega Drive / Genesis is probably their best, simply because of the wide range of support and amount of quality games.
there was a point in time where the DC was meant to have a MATROX gpu possibly, as well as other contenders and if it had along with a possible DVD drive and price hike it would be a totally different beast.
Yeah, I loved the Dreamcast, but massive oversight not including a right analog stick. A very strange design decision considering that dual analog was already standardized by Sony during the PS1 generation. Virtual On was literally unplayable on the controller because of it.
I was 8 years old when Dreamcast came out I don’t know for other people but it was the coolest thing to me when I could go play it at my older siblings . I finally bought my own Dreamcast around 2005 , when I was in high school and was old enough to save money . Had a blast with jet set radio , sonic adventures 1&2 , shuffle , code Veronica , Power stone 1&2 , crazy taxi . House of the dead Arcade style shooter. . I even had the reindeer bot CD for burnt games . Oh and I remember lending a friend a copy of SF alpha 3 Dreamcast with the box …. Dude never gave it back to me 🤣
Shenmue blew me away, and took me to a place i had never been before (until years later)
Shenmue was unreal back in the day. It was painful waiting for the sequel and it perfectly carried on from the first game. Shenmue 3 on the PS4 looks like a Dreamcast game and carried on as if it was running on the Dreamcast. A Shenmue trilogy is overdue. Not sure if we’ll ever see Shenmue 4, but SEGA went with Yakuza, a Shenmue clone, which is probably why Shenmue was forgotten. If Shenmue had been ported to the PS2 after the Dreamcast dropped off, things may have been different.
I love my Sega Genesis. I have childhood memories playing that console which will never fade.
It was the best console for sport games by a long shot. Having a UK Mega Drive in 1991, playing US and Japanese games using a Honeybee adaptor was awesome. I think Europe only got around 250 games out of around 800 that got released.

Maybe this speaks volumes about my taste but I personally enjoyed AP quite a bit. It was certainly flawed, clunky as hell, rough around every edge, but nonetheless a great game. Its ideas and the way the story played out were really amazing. I guess it all boils down to how willing you are to overlook some things and if you treasure gameplay vs the overall experience. The overall experience was great. Really was a mass effect in the spy world. Obsidian is a great developer who is usually crippled by tight deadlines, shitty management, and licensed games. New Vegas, Kotor 2, AP, were all damn good.
I played it too..... The most fun i had with the game was dying.

I thought Alpha Protocol was good. It had great ideas that were simply undercooked.
It's still a shining example of player choice directing the story.
The writing itself was actually very good as well, which makes it even more impressive.
Oh well. Different tastes.
I enjoyed Alpha Protocol alot despite the some of the flawed gameplay. I blame Sega for not supporting it better.

Seems better than Mass Effect 3.
