On Monday I talked about what I feel made the Dreamcast so unique, and on Wednesday I talked about how much of an attraction the Dreamcast was at launch. Today, I'm going to continue the "Why Dreamcast?" articles with the next bit in the story, and actually intertwine both of the earlier articles together by discussing what made me love it even more than I imagined when I first thought about buying the console.
If you haven't guessed already, although I wasn't really focused on the arcade games when I bought it, I love arcade games. I worked at a family entertainment center. I spent at least a few hours a week (and often more than that) at places that had arcade games, playing pinball and various video arcade titles. I regularly played Rush 2049, Hydro Thunder, Area 51, Maximum Force, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Carnevil, Sega Super GT, Daytona USA, House of the Dead and House of the Dead II when I was out in that time, with The first five games getting my attention any time I found them.
I played them over and over to get a better time, get a few more points or just to blow off some steam. And the Dreamcast was suddenly home to most of these games that I found myself sticking quarter after quarter into - Rush 2049, Hydro Thunder, Daytona USA and House of the Dead II were all basically ported with equal if not better than the arcade graphics and gameplay. And I was enthralled by playing them over and over. I still would play these at arcades, but I felt like I could actually improve by practicing "for free" at home. And I did. I poured tons of time into playing Rush specifically, including starting up a "Rush 2049 league" with a bunch of friends after work.
As a quick aside, if you love this type of gaming, the arcade manufacturer Raw Thrills has recently come out with a game called H2Overdrive, which is the spiritual successor to Hydro Thunder and perhaps my favorite arcade game ever. I wish I had the money and space for one -- luckily, I know of a few locations that have them so I can play them around here. If you liked Hydro Thunder, beg your local Dave and Busters or GameWorks or whatever to get one, and then go play it a ton to thank them for it. Anyway...

Much digital ink has been shed about the report from a third-party insurer indicating more broken iPhone 4s than 3GSes in the first four months. The accident rate for iPhone 4 is 68% higher that the iPhone 3GS, according to an analysis done by SquareTrade, with as many as 82% of them having glass damage. While the numbers seem large, it's important to remember that the actual number of iPhone 4s with scratched, cracked or broken glass was 771: just 3.9% (which includes scratches from dirt inside slide cases). Despite the usual suspects hyping this as "Glassgate," the reality - as is often the case - seems to be a bit less dramatic than that.

The gnuboy is a gameboy / gameboy color emulator, and now it’s ported for S60 5th edition. This was mainly made for the people who asked for gb / gbc support for gpsp. It was much easier to make by compiling a new emulator for S60 ;-)
There’s no support for SE / Samsung. However it could be added by implementing the DSA changes described in my blog post.
I have to admit that this is still quite unfinished. I pretty much ran out of time. The N8 is coming and I want to start optimizing all my emulators for Symbian^3. Finally getting to use the new graphics architecture, real MultiTouch etc. I’m sure you all know what I mean ;-)

know issues:
•No audio
•SE and Samsung phones are not supported, sorry

•it’s quite unfinished, waiting for my N8 ;-) ...by Published on October 14th, 2010 00:08
