Memories… distant water colour memories… of Sega.
Seing as the Dreamcast forum will be dead this time on Monday, I thought I might as well say goodbye to a forum that I never used with a topic that will have been done before.
I still remember the first time that I played on any Sega console, in bed on a Saturday morning. My mum had lent the Game Gear off of a friend of hers and Sonic. The batteries that I just put in only last half an hour, but already my heart was set alight – the mindless pressing forward that the game was made up of was perfect for early in the morning when you had no idea what was happening, but still it could never compete to Mario.
And so, my love for Sega was bottled up and saved for when I went around to my next door neighbours and played on his Mega CD. Until Christmas 1995. Unexpectedly, and unrequestedly, I had myself a Mega Drive with Ecco the Dolphin. Still, it took a back seat to Mario, and save the sonic games that I bought myself, I paid less and less attention to the console as time rolled on, and but a year later it was adieu to my little black box as a Playstation sat on my lap on Christmas 1996.
And my life has been Sega console owning free ever since. I played the Saturn on occasion at my next door neighbours, but it failed to impress me, and so I preferred to sit at home on my PS1.
I always planned to get a dreamcast. It was the one thing I wanted at the start of the millennium and a new neighbour who had one almost inspired me to with his Virtua Striker and Sega Bass fishing – one of the best multiplayer experiences of my life was getting beat 3-0 on Virtua striker whilst I was using a fishing rod for control. Pure Class.
If the Dreamcast had lived but a year longer, I think I would have one sat under y TV right now instead of my Gamecube, but, alas, it was never to be, and now Sega are all but dead.

I miss Sega, the Dreamcast was great, and I'm pretty sure most people will be sad to see it go
