Well, not really as I still have it, but I do miss the Dreamcast community
and the exciting chat that used to happen on this newsgroup back in "the
good ole days".

It's funny, but over the years I've bought the Panasonic 3DO, the
Dreamcast, the Playstation 2 and the XBox. However, I've sold the PS2 and
XBox and kept the Dreamcast all the time (along with the 3DO - for old time
sake!)

IMHO the Dreamcast still had the best games and by far the best gameplay of
any console I've used. I remember being seriously addicted to ShadowMan and
RE:Code Veronica, but couldn't get into the PS versions, because something
had changed about the gameplay and/or controller. It didn't quite 'feel'
right.

Anyway, no real point to this posting, other than reminiscing. :-)

I was playing GC PSO on the free Scthack server last night and feeling
that DC community vibe. It made me late for dinner :)
