dreamcast.ign.com— This presumably final Dreamcast game will hit Japanese retail on 2/22/2007, eight years and three months after the system was first released to Japan.

Since standard CD-Rs can be made bootable on an unmodified Dreamcast (which is probably one biggest things that killed Sega's console division...there were others, but that was a big nail in the coffin) and since the system still has quite a bit of power, I don't see the homebrew scene going away anytime soon...Not only that, but because the system was the last made by Sega, there will be a lot of "fanboys" that hang on to the system...I would guess that all of this might make the Dreamcast the equivalent of a modern day Atari 2600 (for those that don't know, the 2600 still has a pretty big following...only now it's more nostalgia than anything)
Phantasy Star Online...wow...that was the first game that kept me up until 5AM on school nights.Good times.My dreamcast still sits on my desk playing Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram, PSO and Sonic Adventure while I wait for something else to happen in some other game.
d8cam, that applies to a ton of a ton of games if you think about tacked on arcade games in previous systems. of course this is more or less dead now that microsoft and the big N are both charging for the same games that used to be unlockedables in previous systems. RIP animal crossing nes...

Dreamcast has a pretty good homebrew scene.

Shenmue was awesome. You either loved that game or hated it.

IGN thought NHL2k2 in 2002 would be the last game: <a class="user" href="http://dreamcast.ign.com/articles/324/324462p1.html">http://dreamcast.ign.com/articles/324/324462p1.html</a>"Not only will it be the final hockey game for the system, in all likelihood, it will be the final game for a severely underrated system. So how will the Dreamcast go out, you ask? With a bang. NHL 2K2 is good… so good that it will have you playing your system well into next year."

Sigh. I miss the DC. I wonder why they wouldn't re-release it in the US.
