So the rules in the sticky on this board say Dreamcast discussion is allowed. But I heard on another thread that any threads made about the DC get shitposted in and deleted. What's up with that /vr/? Why are you guys so against a legit retro console?

I don't know where you're getting your information from, but DC threads are usually very civil and laid back.
This is now a DC thread, so post your favorite game.

The post you read said to start a Gamecube thread. Not a DC thread.

Post some Crazy Taxi webms

This looks like a re-ordered version of a lot that someone on ebay had up a few days ago.

Favorite game in terms of gameplay is probably Mars Matrix, but when I really think Dreamcast it's a toss up between D2 and Illbleed. Haven't played Shenmue yet though, so the others might be unseated when I do.

Too many good games and great peripherals.

>legit retro console
It's 6th Gen, and 6th Gen isn't retro.
The only reason it's allowed is because of a very loud minority bitching, moaning, and crying until the mods gave in, simply because it was the only 6th Gen platform to be released before the board's date cutoff.
Originally, no 6th Gen Platforms were allowed at all, period.

this. dreamcast IS NOT FUCKING RETRO.

now you fuckers want all 6 gen here? motherfuck

>> No.3514198

Dreamcast was an intergen console, and is more gen 5 than gen 6. Most of its multi-platform games were also on Playstation and N64, after all.

This. It still used CDs for storage (kinda). Yeah it had online but it was only 56k. Even the SNES and Genesis had this kind of networking (with an adapter).

Dreamcast is like the Jaguar: released in the midst of a generation and its full potential was never realised.

I didn't say anything at all about my childhood, I just said what happened and why it's dumb for Dreamcast to be an exception.

But if you want to play that card, feel free to be completely wrong: I was born in 86, so Dreamcast was released during my childhood.

It was released in September in US, so odds favor you being 13 during its release.

You don't necessarily get to enjoy the full breadth of a console the year it releases. It takes a few years to get going, get games released, etc.

So you were probably 13-15 when you could really experience the full DC experience. That's not childhood that's adolescence.

This whole thread is retarded anyway, DC is retro and that's basically it. Gen 7 was extraordinarily long, so to classify Gen 6 as banned from retro is retarded. You should gauge off year.

I mean, imagine if Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony are wiped out. All that remains is PC for 10 years. Will you still whine "GEN 6 SHOULDN'T BE INCLUDED!" or will you shut the fuck up?

the rules say 1999 or before, dreamcast came out in 1998/99, however Its also 6th gen.
The reason it was allowed is because there is no reason to say pre-2000 unless you intend to include the dreamcast. If dreamcast is not retro, then why even include the date cutoff for consoles and not just leave it at "no 6th gen or later".
>dreamcast was allowed at creation, then after about a month the janitors changed their minds on the subject.

Slave Zero will always hold a special place in my heart. My buddy had a DC and I had N64 and I remember playing that a lot more in splitscreen than even Goldeneye.
