Message: [QUOTE="DevilBusterAkemi, post: 16947, member: 13202"] sega in the 90s was a very reckless company. their drive was progress in the games industry, at the cost of their financial stability. they didn't care if it was risky or didn't pay off, they wanted the newest concepts. as a result, we got systems like Saturn with dual CPUs, the MegaDrive and MegaCD with their unique hardware, and eventually, the Dreamcast, as the first "modern" system. basically every feature of the Dreamcast was copied by later systems, even if concepts like a handheld screen took a while to become standard. despite sega being out of money, the Dreamcast had a very durable design that holds up today; the joystick uses the Hall Effect system, so it won't break down over time the way modern joysticks do. there really isn't a reason for other companies to use anything else, but they're all cheap and refuse anyway. the Dreamcast also had the first cross-platform online games. Phantasy Star Online was released for windows at the same time, and players could play together regardless of platform. also, SNK VS Capcom had compatibility with the PS2 release of the same game.
