Destructoid celebrates 10 years of the Sega Dreamcast

New Dreamcast game looks old-school, fun

Maybe my memory is a bit fuzzy. It has been a decade this week. I seem to remember Dreamcast games looking a bit better than the soon-to-be-released Rush Rush Rally Racing. To be fair, the game m...

ThinkGeek's 'new in box' Dreamcasts not so new (Update)

Remember those "new in box" Dreamcasts that ThinkGeek was selling awhile back? It was exciting stuff, so they sold out pretty quickly. If you didn't get one, too bad... or maybe you got...
New FPS heading to the Dreamcast: Nostalgia FTW!

Asking videogame nerds if they like the Dreamcast is akin to asking Roman Polanski if he likes a trail of candy leading to his bedroom. The system that has only gotten more popular with hindsight...
Yahoo uses "the Internet" as a source

Face and palm. So here's the story, but I suggest watching the video below before you dive in. Yahoo does gaming news and vids, and ThinkGeek sometimes sells stuff. What happens when the two coll...
New, in-the-box Dreamcasts on sale at ThinkGeek [Update]

Hurry and cover your butt: Dreamcast survey may have been a phishing scheme?

New Dreamcast game hits in 2008: your VMU craves blood

The Dreamcast is dead. The American public drove a stake through its heart, Sony decapitated it, and Sega stuffed its mouth full of garlic. As we watched it burst into flames six years ago, I h...
The real reason the Dreamcast failed

Peter Moore unleashes the SMUG. Also, PS3 = Dreamcast now?

Like a child who's been served a bigger scoop of ice cream than his brother, Microsoft's Peter Moore is acting (to use the rhyming slang of my cockney brethren) quite the "shmug blun...
Games time forgot: Ooga Booga

I have to admit: the Dreamcast is one of the few (fairly) recent video game systems I never had the pleasure of owning. I played a few Dreamcast games at a friend's house now and again, but I...
Homebrew sheep-herding game hits DS

If Bomberman knocked up Harvest Moon and had babies, the illegitimate Dreamcast homebrew game Cool Herders would probably be the result. If you loved it on the DC, then you'll be glad to know...

Samba De Amigo Japanese Commercial
