GB: "In an attempt to appeal to the slightly older generation of gamers who grew up with the now legendary Dreamcast, Sega have brought us the Dreamcast Collection. The collection features four DC games: Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5 part 2 and Sega Bass Fishing on the single disc. Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi are already available separately via Xbox Live and Steam, with the other two games soon to get a stand-alone digital re-release. If you want to relive the Dreamcast era without downloading the games separately the DC collection is a nice window into a particular segment of the past but, with some questionable design choices and its mediocre selection of games, the collection is not at all representative of the Dreamcast's eclectic and unique game library."
Right now you can save big on retro classics and retro-inspired indie hits. It’s all part of Humble Store’s Retro Paradise Sale, which is running for the next week.
Some of the top deals include Sonic Mania for $6.79, Cuphead for $16.99, Dreamcast Collection for $7.49, Mega Man Legacy Collection for $5.99, and Hotline Miami for $1.99.
BNR: If you know me, you might know that I'm a big fan of the Sega Dreamcast- I don't remember what I was doing when it came out seeing as I was five years old and had more pressing matters on my mind, but no matter- I came to appreciate the ahead-of-its-time brilliance that was the Dreamcast when I grew older. Today (the date system on our site's broken but this article went live on September 9, 2015) marks the 16th anniversary of the US launch of the Sega Dreamcast- it was a unique machine that was home to some awesome games- in memory of it is the latest episode of the Blackman 'N Robin Irregular Game Show, embedded below for your viewing pleasure.

For Your Amusement is a video series in which I, Colm Ahern, play a video game for a considerable amount of time, chop up the video into something easily digestible for the lovely YouTube audience and then share it with the entire world, every Friday.
Next week is the beginning of E3 and as the video game playing public get excited about the forthcoming announcements from the big 3, it felt right to reflect on Sega’s final hurrah in the console market; Dreamcast. For part one, it’s Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi.
Slightly older generation who "grew up" with the dreamcast? Must have had the shortest childhood in the history of the human race. Didnt get to experience it myself, I was to busy playing Pokemon on my Gameboy-colour...
How about you take your heads outta your ass Sega and give us Shenmue collection...
