I went right after school on 9/9/99 and picked it up along with Sonic Adventure and a VMU. My Sonic wasn't glitchy, but the manual was messed up, like the pages were not placed in the book properly. If I had a scanner I would show you.
Oh yeah, this is Final Fantasy 8's third birthday as well.
That was actually September 7, 1999 :DQuote:

Happy b-day Dreamcast. My system has been unplayed for awhile now, maybe I should go back and show that I still remember it. :)
I wish I was there on launch day with a friend who wanted the system. Unfortunately, no one I knew was interested. :( So I missed out on the excitement.

10 games? :eek: I think my limit's now like 3-4 games... I bought a N64 for retail price for 4 games (Golden Eye 007, Perfect Dark, Mischief Makers, Sin & Punishment) and consider them some of the best games on any console... well... I haven't played PD yet, but knowing what I know now, if I had to forego those 3 games in order to wait for 7 more, I'd totally be missing out.
I have those 4 games and only those 4 games. I wouldn't mind if the system had more appealing stuff but hey, a gem's a gem right?
I bought mine on launch.
My birthday is September 1st, and I remember asking that year that my parents, as my birthday gift, pay off the balance on my pre-order. :D
I love my Dreamcast. To date, it's the absolute only system I've ever bought at launch (It just happened that way. If I had my way I'd have got them all at launch), and also the system I play the most.
i got my DC alonmg w/ NBA2k and Soul Calibur on the 9th, i also got a black Dreamcast shirt and a cool bag from EB...the closest i ever came to being a true video game dork and it felt good.
oh yeah, im still using that same DC to play Ikaruga and KOF2000 as of last nite...pretty cool.
I still wear that t-shirt all the time. I can't believe I'm not wearing it today !! How silly of me to forget...Quote:

Oh well, the EB logo in on the sleeve ruined that shirt from the start.
Bah. What size were those shirts, Mediums? Barely fits my little brother... I'd rather my Strider 2 shirt, anyway.Quote:

...still, 9/9/99 WAS one of the best days of my life...
...even though I rented a DC from Hollywood Video in mid-July. Sorta ruined the experience of SA on launch, but who cares?
I got the full package, too... the DC (still have the same one today, no burn-outs, no nuthin'), a second controller, a VMU, SA, and SoulCal. Played for hours upon hours, which in itself is quite a feat, being that hours are merely a point in time and not tangible objects. Stacking hours was rather difficult. Anyway, one o' the best days o' me life.
...but then there was the 'Cube launch day...
...nah. DC launch was the best ever.
heh, forgot about FFVIII. I also forgot about it on DC launch day.
Come to think of it, I STILL haven't beaten it. I guess a certain aspect of it "drew" it out longer than I expected.
*dodges rotten fruit*
I got a Dreamcast after I bought Virtual On Oratario Tangram.
Still play my Dreamcast to this day.
