Wow, that's super flattering. I wasn't around during the Xbox scene's heyday, but I have heard a lot about it, so hearing us get compared to that is quite a compliment to me.

But I totally agree. I think there's something magical and extremely satisfying about seeing the Dreamcast--a 6th-gen console which was doomed at birth, which had a substantial library of just quick 5th-gen ports, which was robbed of its chance to shine and died too young--pushed to its limits.

I think it's deep within the Dreamcast's mythos that the thing was capable of more and would've been pushed more had it lived on into the 6th gen. That it had things that weren't really taken advantage of or leveraged during its commercial lifespan...

...and now we're finally seeing it wasn't just LARPing or wishful thinking by DC owners. That the reality is the DC was quite capable and is a pretty damn powerful little thing which was far ahead of its time, PROVIDED you know what you're doing and how to drive the HW.
