Classic Replay

Released: 09/09/99 Company: SEGA Is it any good? The Dreamcast had a ton of potential, but unfortunately a futile amount of time to establish and adapt. Many folk blame piracy for its downfall (I hate piracy), but if that was the case... how come the PS1 didn't fail? Some people believe it was down to the brand being damaged, due to the Mega-CD and piss poor management of the Saturn. I wouldn't be surprised if the real reason was because it lacked a DVD player as seen in the PS2, but seriously, who knows? It's probably a debate that will rage on forever, and never reveal an answer. Should I still get one What is for certain is that SEGA make great games, always have and always will... and these days we get to play them on a multitude of platforms.

No surprise there then, as the NDS has served people well, and will probably continue to do so for many moons to come.
