Today, we've got Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony vying for control of the console market. But there was a time when Sega was also a contender. Their last home console, the Dreamcast, is still getting games (sort of) despite being fourteen years old. But what was it about the Dreamcast that inspired such devotion? Let's take a look.

Might as well grab two if you're a gamer with kids.

- "'It's like trading in a Ford Taurus for a Lamborghini Diablo,' said Ed Christensen, 17, who traded up from a Nintendo 64 system. (...) And he's been hearing a lot from friends ever since. 'I go to his house every day to play,' said Christensen's friend Rory White, 17, of River Forest. 'If you have the game, your status rises.'"
