Sega's Subtle MMO Revolution

Nick Doerr from Infinite Bits takes a look at Sega's subtle involvement with the evolution of console MMOs, starting with Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast.

"Many people still hail the Dreamcast for being way ahead of its time -- the first console to come standard with online capabilities and taking advantage of such a feature. There were, like with all consoles, a handful of games so excellent it's a shame they fell into oblivion (games like Skies of Arcadia tried to get notice through ports, but chose an equally unsuccessful system: the GameCube). One of these games shaped the course of console history and it usually fails to get the credit it deserves. We're talking about Phantasy Star Online."
