How I (may have accidentally) Killed the Dreamcast (24th Anniversary Apology)
CHAPTER BREAKDOWN 0:00 - IT BEGINS 0:43 - Title Card 2:43 - Hubris, Pride, and a Whole Lotta Mistakes 9:56 - Who Are You? 10:44 - OK, For Real This Time - WHO ARE YOU?! 13:51 - July 15, 1999 - Dreamcast Launches in the US (for Rental) 16:27 - Hey Buddy, Can You Spare $100,000,000 19:52 - Epilogue: A Request for Mercy On Sega Dreamcast's 24th Anniversary, I revisit my involvement in what may have led to its ultimate demise. ATTENTION COMMENTERS: When I say "Top 5 systems," what I mean is... • My Personal Top Five Video Game Consoles (... Between 1997-1999, I worked deep in the trenches of retail (EB, Software Etc, Babbages, Game Crazy) helping to spread the word about Sega's new system. At the start of 1999, I wound up getting a job at one of the largest US retailers and getting the Dreamcast out for rental on 6/15/99, nearly two months before the official launch. Yep! I was a real champion for the system back then...and how I likely had a key in its inevitable downfall and demise.
