Useless as a waffle iron perhaps. Terrible as a telecommunications device. But as for whether you're alone in thinking this, I couldn't say.

At least 49,000,000 people (20,000,000 in the US alone) would disagree with you.

I mean, it seemed like the Genesis had better games and the PS1 was about to take over. Am I wrong?

Did a lot of you gamers like the SNES?

Clayfighter?

Final Fantasy 3

Best video game controller? It looks pretty awesome, but for my wee hands the saturn pad is the best, or maybe an ascii pad/stick.


ps. there are still new games coming out for dreamcast.

I don't play Street Fighter. Only sports games.

The arcade stick is exactly the same as the controls on an actual arcade machine. Exactly the same.

So good.

I always thought the Steel Battalion controller was pretty hilarious/absurd:

I've never seen one in real life.

I have this, and can confirm that despite my decent-sized house, it is fucking impossile to find space to set it up (well, incredibly impractical). I have played the game a wee bit, and my main impression is that it's like learning to drive, only much harder. Apparently, when SB: line of contact came out, people offered mech-driving lessons over the internet. It's fucking crazy.

If you die in-game, it wipes your save file. I think this says a lot about this absurd, crazy as fuck game.

Tekki I salute you.
