8. Last Of The Arcade Era

The Dreamcast, like the Saturn before it, secured top class conversions of Sega’s arcade titles, which were amongst the best coin operated machines.

What was a strength in both consoles was also a weakness as far as longevity goes.

Arcades have changed beyond recognition from their heyday. They were once the place to be when it came to playing some of the best video games of the time. Now, you only see a handful of actual video games in an arcade, with the rest of the space taken up by fruit machines, the occasional air hockey table and an abundance of ticket machines.

Like the first great consoles offered a chance to play some of the initial arcade games at home, the Dreamcast gives you the chance to play some of the last.

Whether your arcade genre of choice was fighters, shooters or racers, the Dreamcast has perfect versions of all of them. A huge perk for those that grew up during arcades golden era, or for those who want to see what the fuss was all about.
