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.

It was deliberate. For those arriving here without context, one of the previous examples unintentionally looked like Hitler.

Notably, the Steam version is a port of the iOS version, making it a HUGE step down from the DS version, which combined the anime cutscenes from the PS1 version with an absolute wealth of new systems and features.

Sorry. They put the whole bin out in a yard sale for five bucks (I talked them down to 2).

But the Wavebird came out after the original GameCube controller so it seems like a regression. I imagine there was some legitimate reason for it, like the battery was already dying too fast.

Extra points if you edit it so that the letters alternate between bold and not.
Edit: it's beautiful

Did the wavebird really not have rumble? Huh.

Switch modes, when I'm having trouble it's usually on X when it should be D or vice versa

I know, it just seems like we're moving in the opposite direction of correctness.

They're not Linux though?

Kangaruler would have been so much better.
I had no idea the armor was supposed to be Mongolian.
