I'd say they're about the same in terms of good games.

Well I didn't enjoy DC as much as PS2 but thats just me alot of people like the DC more

I was bummed, but I didn't truly feel the full effect of it until I saw Sonic on a Nintendo system. A little part of me died that day.

PS2 < DC.

I brought a DC again about a week ago, and its even took over my PS3

At the time I realy didn't care. I was smug with my playstation and being how young I was I didn't understand that the Dreamcast was really superior to the other consoles out at the time. I just bought whatever everyone else had. Nowadays though I'm really disappointed it didn't go as far as it should with it being so powerful in its prime and if it had caught on we could of had the new next gen now.

For me:

2001 - PS1 and N64 stole my attention

2002 - I was begging my brothers/sisters/parents for a DC (Yeah, I was pretty young back then too)

I was young so i didn't really know much about it. Although, i didn't follow games as much either. I am saddened to say that I have only played a DC ONCE in my whole life, and the game was Fighting Force 2...I love that game. I may have to buy a dreamcast...just for the nostalgia aspect.

I was absolutely gutted! I'd only had it for something like 2 or 3 months when I heard the news.

I stuck with it though and it was in regular use up until 2006 when I decided to get a 360.

I've enjoyed loads of relatively cheap games and the life of the machine was extended when I discovered homebrew, emulators (thanks to this site and DC Emulation dot com) and imports and the vga box. I've amassed quite a lot of PAL titles and a few Japanese ones and have had a great deal of enjoyment out of it (and still do to a much lesser extent). With the release of Rez HD, I'm going to dig out my DC version and dust it off again, crack up the volume and find a rumble pack.

I regret that it never had the support of EA and that we didn't get Pro Evo as they would have helped swing it round I think and the whole missing out on DVD probably wasn't a good thing either. I also missed decent single player FPS games as it lacked them somewhat.

Still there were some cracking games and I guess it just failed to reach its potential. It's nice to hear some you folks getting them now though.

I love the Dreamcast, for my money it's better than Playstation systems will ever be.

I was too pumped for the Gamecube to take notice, since I didn't have a computer of my own I didn't take notice to other consoles other than the ones I had, all of which were Nintendo.
