Both the NES and Dreamcast have a naivete about them... "Entertainment System" sounds golly-gee quaint today, and the "Dreamcast" reminds one of fluffy clouds and pastel spirals, horrendous voice-overs, fuzzy polygons, and cheesy pop soundtracks.
Gaming entered middle school with the introduction of the PS2, and became kind of a dick. #nintendo

Hard to really compare the two as they were more than a decade apart. It's not apples and tacos, but it may be apples and oranges.
If I could pick any old system, I wouldn't mind getting in some Star Raiders on the Atari 5200 one more time...as long as the controllers lasted longer than 6 months for a change. #nintendo

Hmmm, I think I'll wrap my Dreamcast and give it to myself for Christmas this year. #nintendo

man a freaking mint condition master system would be dope for a christmas gift. almost all my consoles/hand helds were gifts.
lets see... i got an ipod touch (to specifically play games) last year, a ds in 04, a mint condition turbo grafx 16 in 01, a dreamcast in 99, a saturn in 96, a game gear in 92, and my first video game related christmas gift/console ever. that bad boy in the pic (i asked for an nes, my parents made an awesome mistake). that was in december of 89 and i still have the box and all the inserts. when i mention it or show it off, most ppl are like 'wth is that?"
i got my nes and xbox for my birthdays in 90 and 02 respectively. growin up was fun man.

Garou or Last Blade on Neo Geo and Final Fantasy "III" with Metal Warriors on the SNES? That would be the best damn Christmas since I got my PS2 back in 2001. #nintendo

If 6/10 year old me can handle it, then anyone can. #nintendo

nowadays 26 year old me has no time to keep playing the same level for 6 hours straight. I'd rather enjoy the more limited amount of time I have for gaming #nintendo

I've gone back to some of my favourite NES games and loved 'em - Metal Storm, Shatterhand, Metal Gear, Megaman 3, Crystalis, Castlevania 1-3, Contra, Super C... Still have no real issue beating them, apart from having to leave the NES on (gotta go to sleep, work, etc) and occasionally fucking up my game because I'm not "warmed up". But they're still feasible and fun. #nintendo

In my last post I forgot to mention that Panzer Dragoon Saga was lent to me by a friend, and it was very enjoyable! And, wow.. amazing graphics for a Saturn. #nintendo

Really, imagine people not fighting over copies of Radiant Silvergun, Burning Rangers, or Panzer Dragoon anymore. 15 bucks instead of 150. #nintendo

You want a real depressing day? When my ex moved out a few months ago she took my gold cart Zeldas with her. AND stole my pet python. Cops are useless. #nintendo

@Cochese: Now with moxie.: I made this pic for you. Enjoy! Click to expand, as it's a little long. To explain, the PowerBack was a mildly ergonomic battery that screwed into the back of the Game Gear and plugged into the DC9V port after being charged from another DC port (plugged into an outlet) that provided a four-hour charge and was easier on the hands.

I now the Dreamcast was cool, but one of the best toys of all time? I am sorry but the PS2 owns that spot way above and beyond the Dreamcast. Some Sega fanboy obviously made that list.
The NES on the other hand fully belongs on that list. All hail the immortal NES! #nintendo

if you were a core gamer in 1999, you were in love with the Sega Dreamcast. i often wonder, if Sega had been a larger company with deeper pockets, maybe they'd still be in the console business today, and maybe even leading the market. the dreamcast was definitely ahead of it's time. #nintendo
