The Dreamcast is a great console (you must think I'm mad being a Nintendo fan) and Sega are probable the most experienced games company on the market!

Today I went out to buy christmas presents and I went into the shop "Game"

There was a small PS2 section with people looking at the 6 game cases to see what games they'll be able to play in 4 months time. There was also a Gameboy section, a little bigger than the PS2 section with quite a few games. Loads of people were looking at the games boxes.
Then there was the PC section, the biggest of them all filled with people of all ages looking for the newest games.
Also the Playstation section, quite a big section with loads and loads of people all looking for the newest 2D game.
The N64 section filled with it's quality games was also full of people.

BUT what about the Sega Dreamcast section? There were plenty of good games better than a lot of Nintendo ones. It was a big section in the shop but the only person that was there was a young boy looking at Star Wars Episode 1 Racer. It was sad to see that a company that was fighting Nintendo at one point was now struggling to survive! Dreamcast owners had a huge choice of games none of them 2D but still they'd rather waste there money on the cheap stuff that you could buy second hand for the SNES.

Even though Sega are planning on making just games like they originally did, it is sad to see the consoles go!

No hard feelings eh?

I've misread and misunderstood topics before!

It just agitates me when people don't get the point and I just seem to blow!

Starring Chris Tarrent..

Is that your FINAL arguement?

are you sure?

Do you wish to decapitate a friend or strafe the audience?

If I am right and I do know what you are talking about, then I am an Ant, and we are very stubborn. But the FINAL ARGUMENT topic doesn't sound bad.

Rush 2049 is pretty, good if most mags and sites gave it high scores. It is fast and addictive, N64 mag said. (not the official one!)

I enjoyed that conversation. I think we really need to do a FINAL arguement, one to end all other arguements.

Well actually, I read about 3 times, and it still sounded like a biased message. Sorry if I misunderstood. If they only had that amount of PS2 games, they propably weren't a very large store. And I would actually say my message wasn't stupid (just a tiny bit biased in parts), and I felt that me and Grix had quite a civilised (in parts) conversation about it.
I also did think before I acted, I just misunderstood. Sorry.
But some parts of my message were true.

PS- I would't call me stupid as I'll have my Ant colony on you sooner or later!! {:)
Oh yeah, I've played around 20 Nintendo games, and I'm not normally biased, I'm not normally stupid and there are some "typical biased Nintendo fans" out there.
PS- I'm not stupid.
PSS- I'm not stupid.
PSSS- Neither are you.
PSSSS- I am not normally biased, but can be on occasions.
PSSSSS- Like almost all of us.
