I just got a Dreamcast as a gift and I am super excited about it.
There was also a successful Kickstarter for a modern-day tech drop-in replacement for the VMU (the memory card with a screen and buttons that some games would load minigames onto, similar to tamagotchis and Pokéwalkers).
People are still regularly releasing games for the Game Boy and the Commodore 64 and I welcome new games for the lot of them.
Lots of cool hardware tech that flopped or got dropped, and they’re fun and interesting to revisit.
Cool sidenote: the Dreamcast controllers had two slots. I wonder if they had cool interactions, like the MSX, the SuFami Turbo, and the relatively more modern but more distantly related Metal Gear Solid where Psycho Mantis comments on what other games you’ve been playing based on the saves on your memory card.
