9/9/99 commercial aired when I was watching a episode of smackdown and the mtv awards as a 9yr old kid. It showed NFL 2k nba 2k sonic adventure graphics . My mind was fu#king blowed..
Everyone the nxt day at school was talking about this mystery machine and me always being a Nintendo guy with and having a playstation I didnt trust Sega.
So that year for x-mas I ended up getting a gameboy color and a sega dreamcast. I ripped box open got that fresh console smell out and plugged it in to tv... Immediately go to sonic adventure on the demo and wow man sh1t was nothing like i ever seen in my entire life. Still to this date,this is the biggest console leap in technology i have ever witnessed. Anything after never showed a significant difference. Ps2-ps3 xbox-xbox360 nope , ps3-ps4 xbox 360-xbox one, nope.
All in all dreamcast was the first to do many things and overall the console experience is goat.
