SEGA’s Dreamcast console was released 23 years ago today in the United States, on September 9, 1999.

SEGA fans will definitely remember this day, because 23 years ago today, on September 9th, 1999, the Dreamcast console was released in the USA. Peter Moore fondly recalls that day to this day, reporting that it had the greatest 24 hours in the history of US retail entertainment sales.

As Peter Moore recalled last year, “Dreamcast came to NA and ushered in what millions of people now take for granted… online console gaming. Somehow we managed to get the games to run on a 56k dial-up modem and we had the greatest 24 hours in the history of US retail entertainment sales!”

However, the success did not last long and the fate was quickly sealed by the strong PlayStation competition. Despite many grandiose games, the Dreamcast console could not reach enough players, which, according to many fans, was due to the lack of advertising in Europe and other countries.

What memories do you have of the SEGA Dreamcast console and which SEGA games are still your favorites?
