Before Xbox, Game Cube and even PS2 came around SEGA introduced the world to a console that was far ahead of anything we've played before: Dreamcast. It was 128 bits of awesome and it broke the mold on online game play, offered memory cards with a screen, and had a slew of games that still rival some current releases when it comes to fun and playability. But all those great advances in game play probably led to the downfall in the system too as it was just too ahead of its time. So, whether you picked it up on launch day a decade ago in 1999, or you picked it up at a garage sale, it's time to celebrate its birthday. And, if you happened to forget some of the games you are grabbing, check out our favorites below and leave your own favorites in the comments.

They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
Those are 10 games AMONG others like Shenmues, Powerstones, Metropolis Street Racer, Ikaruga, PSO and Grandia II. Sorry if I forgot about some great title.
DC had great good games to total number of games ratio. Impossible to tell just 10.
