Five years ago today Sega announced the discontinuance of the Dreamcast. Doesn't that make you feel old. :( (maybe just me)

Also TSC was down yesterday, sorry bout that. If you're reading this, we aren't now!

Yes it does :(

It made me realise that I remember when the Spice Girls were all the rage and then I felt even older :(

I still have their CD somewhere . . . it needs burned methinks.

Never bought a Dreamcast myself, I couldn't help but think "it's another Saturn". I was still gutted to see Sega go out of the console market though.

Even though it was my first Sega system (originally bought for RE Code Veronica and MvC2, from all of the good games the DC had, I believed that it had at least an additional year left in terms of being a viable system. I also remember when the Spice Girls were all the rage. *Starts feeling really old and gives self the title "Ancient Fossil."*

5 years ago? i remember the day i got it... i was really excited and everything and wouldnâ€™t you know it, cd rom wouldn't work, had to wait another day to get one that works.... Pure torture

CosmicFalcon · « **Reply #6 on:** February 01, 2006, 12:47:50 pm »

Heck, it makes me feel old not because I remember having one. In fact, it was because I remember not having one, and wanting one.

However, I more prominently remember wanting a Saturn, and seeing footage of Sonic Jam. That's because videogames were more mainstream here then, so some arbitrary show about videogames might have shown footage on TV. During Dreamcast days, I didn't know what a Sonic Adventure was. D:

In conclusion, I feel even older, despite being younger. Er... win?

I just recently bought my DC for $10 at a thrift store. Then I had to go to a game shop and buy the cord to hook it up for as much as the DC cost =)

sonicam · « **Reply #8 on:** February 01, 2006, 10:50:07 pm »

I've never owned a Dreamcast and I've only played it like once, when the Dreamcast was new, I remember playing Sonic Adventure on it and I seriously sucked, died so many times at Emerald Coast, ah, the good ol' naive days. I so miss them... :/

EDIT: Also, I remember the Spice Girls, they were trash. :(

Mandyrobin · « **Reply #9 on:** February 09, 2006, 08:24:15 pm »

I used to think the Dreamcast was the best. Although, I didn't get to buying one until just after SEGA discontinued it. I played Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2 and Space Channel 5 on it. I actually went through three Dreamcasts because they kept on breaking down. I just got rid of my last one later in 2005 after it started resetting not long after starting a game. I figured that was it for me.

By the way, I know what you guys mean by feeling old. I was born in January of '86 and I still remember how much of a Spice Girls fan I was.

Bilan · « **Reply #10 on:** February 10, 2006, 03:04:44 am »

^I never said I was a Spice Girls fan, they never really did it for me, I just remember when everyone else liked them D:

Marth · « **Reply #11 on:** February 11, 2006, 01:52:13 pm »

I played SA at the store when it was new, but because I didn't play much
(and didn't get very familiar with the game), it feels like it was a long time ago.
That's good, because there are already a lot of things that make me feel old. :(
(I've already had a GameCube and Vexx for... over 2 years???
Maybe it's fall now, and I got them last winter. Yeah, that must be it.
Also, I probably got SADX last spring. That's right... not so long ago!
Wait... but it was for my birthday in fall, so...)

EDIT: "long live Dreamcast"? How can it live long if it's dead?
Maybe you should say "long live GameCube", because it could be considered
the next system for SEGA. (You have to choose one of the 3 systems, right?
Well, maybe it could be... "long live - ".)

More like play on "The king is dead, long live the king!" which is from something that I don't know but I've heard it before.

It doesn't matter now what happens, I will never give up the fight! There is no way I will run away from all of my frights... long as the voice inside me says 'Go!' I will always keep on running! There is no way to stop me from going to the very top~"*SHOT*

Sorry, It Doesn't Matter's been stuck in my head all day. :(

Yeah, that song can get stuck in your head once in a while.

Its from this thing called the world. Y'know, it's big, round, mostly blue... we live there.

Which one? SA or SA2?

The one from SA pwns in my opinion, but both are good. I downloaded it last week and listen to it quite often I must say... though I'd like to know where to get the SA2 version as well.

It's been around a long time!. Tho in this case, it's long live Dreamcast because the Japanese are STILL trickling out the occasional commercial release for the system. Video game systems in general can cling to life a lot longer there; NOJ kept making the SNES until 2003.

sonicam · « **Reply #18 on:** February 12, 2006, 10:52:45 pm »

I always thought "It Doesn't Matter" sucked ass. Matter in fact, I hated all of Sonic's themes, SADX, SA2B and SH's (I forgot if SADX and SA2B Sonic theme were the same...). The only themes that I actually like are SADX's Knuckles' Theme, Rouge's theme, Gamma's Theme and Team Dark's theme.

yse · « **Reply #19 on:** February 12, 2006, 11:42:25 pm »

Sonic's themes for SADX and SA2B have the same lyrics, but the music was completely rewritten for SA2B.

Which is good, because the SA2B one pwns the SADX one. :D

Fixed.

Generally speaking, SA(DX) themes > SA2(B) themes.

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #21 on:** February 13, 2006, 01:02:05 am »

Psyknux did the work for me.

And I did download both versions and thought the SADX version was better. X)

I was just saying, as you seemed to be implying that the phrase was a movie or play quote of some kind, that it is from the real world. Like for as long as monarchy has existed.

Also Rolk maybe SNES lasted longer in Japan because it wasn't your ugly-ass American version amirite.

Marth · « **Reply #25 on:** February 14, 2006, 05:03:05 pm »

Okay, I'd forgotten that a few DCs are still being made.

I'm pretty sure "Long live the king!" is referring to the new king.
(King #1 is dead! Long live King #2!)
(In this case, it's referring to GC, or the few DCs that are still coming.)

You all lose.
mkII sucks in its puny comparison. Believe me, I know. :(

Besides, I like longer songs. >_>

It's only on the fourth straight day of playback on my computer. >_>

Hell, i had a dremcast.My grandparents bought it for my whole family.Then it kinda broke......I'm still trying to find one on ebay though.The dreamcast was and still is(or at least in my terms)THE SHIZ_IT!!!!!!!!It had all the best games too.I don't fell old because i was about 6 or 7 when we got it(and because i'm 12 or 13. I don't even keep track of my age!)

buddychaos0415 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 16, 2006, 07:42:25 pm »

You don't keep track of your age? O_o You're kidding, right?

And yeah, the SADX version is better. (Although both are good.)

DaDude · « **Reply #29 on:** March 30, 2006, 12:59:24 am »

Am I the only one that prefers SA2B Sonic's Theme than SA Sonic's Theme?

It doesn't matter, now what happens. I will never give up the fight! Long as the voice inside drives me to run and fight, it doesn't matter who is wrong and who is rig-*SHOT*

*Comes back from dead*

I'm plotting my schemes, wherever I go. They're perfect in everyway. I'd love to destroy, the blue one you know. He's an obstacle who always gets in my way!

Dum, Dum

I must play this game by my rules. I will conquer the World with my too-*SHOT AGAIN*

*Comes yet again*

Oh Dark, the darkness that dozes in the dusk, throw it all away! You see a light, wherever you go. You have to face it again... and again, and again, and agaaaaain! *BURNT WITH A FLAMETHROWER*

*You know what happens*

Live and Learn! Hanging on the edge of tomorrow. Live and Learn! From the works of yesterday. Live and Learn! If you beg or if you borrow - Live and Learn! You may never find your waaaaaaaaay! *DROWNED*

*You know what happens again*

Follow me! Set me free. Trust me, and we will escape from the city! *Dies from a heart attack*

*You know what happens again again*

Can't hold on much longer, but I will never let go! I know it's a one way track, tell me now how long this will last! I'm not going to think this way, nor will I count on the others! Close my eyes and feel it burn, now I see what I've got to do! Open your heart, it's going to be alriiiiiiight! *...nothing happens*

*Just dies and stays dead*
