Review of Sega Dreamcast by jtbull46

Advantages: good graphics and sound and games
Disadvantages: outdated systme

...360 and playstation three. The sega dreamcast was one of first, but not the first, video game systems that used discs instead of cartridges. This resulted in better graphics and sound, but you needed an exteral jump pack type thing to store your games. I did not figure this out until I have gone about four games in one night on nfl football 2k.The other thing i believe this started was the need to buy guides in order to do good or beat the game. ...

Manufacturer's product description

Video gaming will never be the same. Dreamcast represents the most advanced achievement in console technology designed to outperform all other systems, including most arcade systems. Features include 128-bit performance from a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) central processor, an independent 3D graphics engine and a dedicated 3D sound chip. The results are breathtaking animation, color, depth, realism and the potential for new levels of game play strategy. This remarkable breakthrough in consumer electronics uses a Visual Memory System (VMS) with a built-in LCD screen. Gamers can choose plays in sports games or plan offensive moves in RPG games without their challengers clueing in. You can also save special characters, moves or teams to the VMS, and swap info with your fellow Dreamcast owners by connecting your VMS card to theirs.
