It's like a dreamcatcher, but instead of catching them, it cast Sega's dreams of financial success into the trash.

Because of the fishing games and overall marine theme in its promotional materials. It's not even a joke, it was one of the main points of the console, arcade, action and adventure stuff was secondary to all the Japanese-specific shit like fishing and horse racing.

Because it's like a cast mold for your dream games. Dream games like:

>that one grind-heavy jrpg
>that other gring-heavy jrpg
>that one grind-heavy jrpg that took a long time to get fun
>that one grind-heavy jrpg with an open ending
>that one grind-heavy jrpg that no one played
>that other grind-heavy jrpg
>oh yeah, and that game about looking for sailors

Because Sega was at death throes, and that console was the answer to bring Sega back to rule. It was as if it fell from the heavens... or Dreamcast.

In case your English is rusted, 'cast' also means made or fell.
