lolwut, I ****ing love this thread. So much nostalgia for the year 2000. Had most of these Dreamcast games too.

brb Sonic Adventure, the last good Sonic game
brb Crazy Taxi, had the GOAT soundtrack with All I Want by the Offspring in it
brb Jet Grind Radio, noted sick skating game and predecessor to the even more badass Jet Set Radio Future
brb Powerstone, probly the most underrated fighting game of the era
brb Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, the GOAT fighting game


The Dreamcast was so damn underrated. If Sega wouldn't have botched everything so badly with the Saturn, they might have been able to stay alive since the Dreamcast was so sick.

Didn't have Shenmue or House of the Dead, but those were pretty good games. I did have Super Smash Melee and Super Mario Sunshine for GC. Those two games were pretty legit too. Didn't have any of those other GC games though.

Oh man that is such a good GDT. Nostalgia everywhere.

5-0 Vancouver. Totally serious prediction.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Go Dreamcasts!


Best console ever.

I have to say I'm sad my favorite DC game didn't make it there...but I love Michalek as Skies of Arcadia.

Is Gormley scratched again? Why? Thought Tip finally figured out he needs NHL time.

Fixing the title now. Whoops.

Just repost the score w/ different opponent. Were gonna loose all the same.

 

[Matias Maccete]

I think today we're going to win today, just to confuse everyone.

"Vrbata's departure from Arizona was frustrating for the 33-year-old Czech wing because he wanted to stay. Vrbata would not discuss specifics of the negotiations, but it is believed he would have stayed with the Coyotes if he could have landed a four-year deal without a raise -- at the same average annual salary of $3 million."

If this is true, just wanted years and not more $$$, hard to believe didn't sign him.

The bright side is that in letting Vrby go we were able to re-sign Moss!

 

[Plub]

GMDM should be fired for ****ing up the Vrbata situation alone. So frustrating. It's funny at times some have said he seems passive and like he's not on top of things. Seems there was truth to it.

THIS DAY IN 1995: Rookie Shane Doan scored his 1st NHL goal (3rd per.), then added OT winner in Jets 6-5 win over CHI

Korpi + Crombeen = $3mil+ and I sure would prefer Vrby over those two. Gags is $3.2 mil and though I still like that pick up, if I had to choose, I would choose Vrby every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I want to give GMDM the benefit of the doubt and blame these woes on finances but hard to argue not resigning Vrbata to be anything other than an epic fail. Throw in the Ribeiro failure, the Smitty overpay, the failure to fix the "mix"...sad to say it but...GMDM may be losing his mojo.

Another killer GDT, Prim! Man, those were the days....

Well the sales really dropped off before dreamcast was even released on 9/9/99. pretty much because the Sega Saturn was awful. Dreamcast was one of the most current game systems but Sega messed up and released prematurely without any developer support. That and PS2 and XBOX were good competition.

Haha now Sonic lives on through Nintendo.

Another Arizona loss. 43-1

Vrbata doesn't score

And despite their exit of the console market they've recovered very well. They were the #3 games-only videogame company in the world in terms of revenue for the year 2013 (behind Electronic Arts and Activision-Blizzard). Of course, the top three overall are Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo, the three players still in the hardware market.

(Sega's dip in form and fantastic recovery to become a top player is my attempt at using an optimistic metaphor for my hopes for the Coyotes - it looks bad right now, but if we have the same pattern of Sega, we'll be great in the future)
