The Dreamcast is without doubt one of the most powerful and best loved games consoles ever to hit the home market
for its time with many really fun accessories available like the
VMS, a hand held mobile information terminal which merges the capabilities of data storing and a hand held game machine where you can link up to other
VMS's and exchange data as well as playing 1 to 1 with other VMS owners. |

As well as having the option to go online and play friends there's also items like the Konami dance mat to go with their dance games and the best of the lot is the dance mat and maracas (yes maracas!) for the Samba de Amigo game.
As of March 2001 though to everyone's astonishment Sega stopped manufacturing the Dreamcast machine worldwide, Sega stated they had been losing far too much money on the Dreamcast hardware since launch, main reason being they were forced to drop the retail price of the machine worldwide to try to match Sony who were then taking control of the home games market, so Sega now continue to release software only on other platforms. A few more top titles are still due though for the Dreamcast this year, titles like King of the fighters 2001 and treasures follow up to Radiant silver gun are a few to look forward to.
All the other top new Sega arcade titles like Virtual fighters 4 and the Sonic series will now appear on other formats like the Sony 2, X box and Gameboy Advance consoles.
