Anyone doing anything special this weekend? In North America, the Dreamcast turns 8 this Sunday. Seems hard to believe it's already been that long since its launch.

Official launch dates (pulled from Wikipedia):

Japan: November 27, 1998
North America: September 9, 1999
Europe: October 14, 1999

It is hard to believe the Dreamcast has been around for almost half my life, it seems like it was only like a couple years ago when I saw huge ads up of the Dreamcast coming on 9/9/99. I didnt get one until 2005, but I remember. Coincidently Im buying a Sega Saturn on Sunday since thats payday for me.

Might take some time and finish the Shenmue game I started a couple weeks ago but stopped abruptly sometime around meeting master Chen, or play a few rounds of Crazy Taxi. Or I might go online with Quake 3 I have no idea really.

My type of celebration would be playing some Seaman and some offline PSO. I only pulled my Dreamcast out of storage and started playing with it again a couple of weeks ago after over 3 years of neglect. It is amazing that the Dreamcast is going to be 8 years old.

Wow, true, you just made me realise. It's been a lot of years since the Dreamcast came home (to stay).

I guess I'll get nostalgic by playing Sonic Adventure (maybe that Launch Party save) or as Ryochan7 says, some offline PSO. Anyway, I'd better wait until the European release date anniversary or, better yet, the "true" DC 10th anniversary next year. That obviously doesn't mean I won't be playing on my DC until that day :p

I'm going to go out to the local pawn shop and buy a few more DC games and I will only be getting online using the DC today. Also might do as someone else said and fire up the Sonic Adventure Launch Party save file. Glad the little white box's b-day fell on a day off ^^

p.s: Also might see if anyone is on Q3A...but probably nobody will be.lol

Well I fixed it Very Happy and celebrated in style by playing the first DC vs DC game of max pool on a private server with Segadreamcaster on his server. Rock on Dreamcast.
