Cosmic Smash - Squash isn't just for blue-bloods.
Apparently
ThinkGeek.com is currently selling brand new Sega Dreamcasts on its store. The system that spelled the death-knell for Sega hardware has always been tinged in romantic emotions for most players, so if you missed out the first time around or really don't trust eBay now is your chance. I remember picking up mine on 9/9/99 while waiting in line at a Babbage's in some mall in Maryland. I later lost a full summer of my life playing
Virtua Tennis,
ChuChu Rocket, and
Power Stone for hours on end.
While I doubt the machine's 56k modem and web browser disc will get much use (though please send us a screenshot if you can load up Giant Bomb on it), there are still a lot of classic titles that I'd recommend checking out if you missed the era. Jeff chimed in over IM to recommend that if you're looking to get the full benefit of this North American Dreamcast you can grab an
import boot disc so you can play classic titles like
Rez,
Ikaruga and
Cosmic Smash. Personally, I would highly recommend checking out the awesomely broken but ambitious game that is
Omikron: The Nomad Soul, which was hyped at the time for having a digital David Bowie play some tunes in the game's local space-bar. Both the slightly better PC version and the DC version are hard to find though, so be wary. Here's the music video just for nostalgia's sake... and to show that marketing tricks like Korn recording a new song for
