Saturn--not Dreamcast--pioneered console LAN

Beer + Videogames... (Gaming Fact of the Week) No, it’s not a typo. Most of us old enough to know games weren’t always 3D consider the Dreamcast to be the first platform with the ability to connect us with players on other consoles. Only with the benefit of hindsight can we now see that we were all too drunk on Power Stone tourneys and Phantasy Star Online to realize we were horribly misinformed.

Well no duh. Dreamcast was even compatible with Windows. And you gotta realize that Peter Moore - a main contributor to the Xbox brand - first worked on the Dreamcast.

In many ways Xbox was the Dreamcast 2.0: similar controller, built-in online, 4 controller ports, etc.

I remember playing online with the dreamcast 56k internet. It had free online through netzero or you could use your AOL account. It had a web browser too. Take that 360!

EvilBlackCat5814d ago (Edited 5814d ago )

Yup! all that you posted there is true but the majority of ignorant gamers chooses PS over dreamcast.

Then ms xbox show up with better online service and better software but the majority of ignorant gamers once again choose PS2 over xbox.

and with that "Take that 360!" you are going to get a lot of agrees CONGRATULATONS

good games over good "in theory" features

zeeshan5814d ago

Saturn's design was gorgeous. It still looks extremely sexy! Nothing beats PS3 fat though but still, if you compare Saturn with even today's console, it looks fantastic. FAR better than Xbox 1/360/360s, Wii, Gamecube, N64 heck even the original fat PS2.

CRAIG6675814d ago

SORRY TO SAY THIS DUDE,BUT YOU HAVE SHOCKINGLY BAD TASTE.

ZootHornRollo5814d ago

kinda sad

rumplstilts5814d ago

Five Games I'd Love To See On the Neo Geo AES+

These classics need to make a return.

Blues Journey is the game I'd like to see.

Popsicle37d ago

Pre-ordered mine a few days ago. Love this concept and hope there are more games announced. I can’t justify paying the prices for games that collectors are asking for. It’s the primary reason I own almost every console except the Neo Geo.

Agent7537d ago

I've pre ordered one here in the UK, no games though, as I'll move it on for a higher price. The white model looks awesome, but as expected, the price is too high. We'll probably see more of those all in one cartridges from China containing every AES game. In the UK, AES+ game at £70 ($95) is better than eye watering prices for the originals, but these games are so old and I can honestly say SNK didn't release many classics. The Metal Slug series is the only series I rate, there were just too many Street Fighter clones and not enough scrolling fighting games. Overall, the Neo Geo was poor for all genres apart from one on one fighters. Videos on YouTube asking for games from that console generation to be ported to the AES+, but who'd want to pay £70 for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2? There's a lot of SNK collections out there, the best being Metal Slug Anthology on the PlayStation 2. The Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on the Switch contains 12 games for around £30, instead of £840 if released on the AES+. For collectors, the AES+ is the best news since sliced bread. Are there enough SNK fans out there? Nowhere near. Those £70 cartridges will soon start creeping up in price and it'll be a re-run of the original console.

I always wanted one in the 90's but couldn't afford it. Now i can but i think if i get one it will be collecting dust fast. It's a nostalgia thing i guess.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde41d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy42d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12541d ago (Edited 41d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
