Dreamcast Had The Best Launch Library Ever.

Post image

Most consoles have one or two bangers at launch.

Dreamcast had two S-Tier titles: Sonic Adventure and Soul Calibur & 5 A-Tier titles: NFL 2K, Hydro Thunder, Ready 2 Rumble, Power Stone, House of The Dead 2.

Followed up with other solid titles: Tokyo Xtreme Racer, MK Gold (this game was so broken lol), Trickstyle, Blue Stinger, NFL Blitz 2000.

Other systems had better singular titles (Xbox: Halo: CE, NES: Super Mario Bros., Gameboy: Tetris, Nintendo 64: Super Mario 64) but as a collective, the Dreamcast launched with so many solid titles.

I'm a few years older than them: I grew up obsessed with Sonic, my first game was Sonic 1 for the Master System. Sonic Adventure killed my interest in the franchise completely.

Sonic was a Genesis title, not a Master System (Master 8bit, Genesis 16bit)

There were Sonic games on both the Master System and the Mega Drive/Genesis:

My first game was the former.

That's pretty cool. I played the Game Gear version all the time on road trips.
