Sega Dreamcast fans?

Was watching a long form video on Sega's consoles, and I was reminded of the Sega Dreamcast. Did any of you own one during the launch period? I sadly missed out, and got one a bit later down the road. What games did you guys like or enjoy?

My older brother had a hacked Dreamcast when I was a little kid in the early 2000's. I credit Grandia as being something that got me into video games. I was fully invested (even though I never finished it, I remember specific plot points). It left a huge impression on me.

I had a Dreamcast a friend sold me who I know close online. I never ended up hacking it or anything. I should have for sure. hah

Sega games or consoles are something I've never been too familiar with but as I'm slowly getting curious about more and more things, I think the Dreamcast was neat. I don't think it's the kind of thing where I'd go and want to play every game in the library or something, but games like Jet Set Radio and Space Channel 5 have really felt like they have their own kind of charm to them, and they both had their own really unique aesthetics that they leaned hard into. They have weirdly similar menus that seem simple and... almost cheap? And it makes me curious if that's something that's common with Dreamcast games. My attention's mainly being held by other stuff right now but I may look over what the Dreamcast has to offer in the future.

I didn't understood the concept of hacking. I actually thought the Dreamcast was just something that came with a ridiculous amount of games preinstalled for us. (the perception of a three year old child). I didn't figure it out until I was a teenager and pieced it together that it was a modded console we had been playing on.

Later my older brother homebrewed our Wii, and when I was a teenager I homebrewed a Wii U console on my own.

Definitely worth doing if you're into it.

I really loved getting to grow up with my Dreamcast, I never had many games but would just keep playing Sonic Adventure, Jet Set Radio, Shenmue & Tokyo Xtreme Racer, then my big brother taught me about it reading burnt CDs ! I ended up playing as many games as my VMUs could fit; Napple Tale and Sega Bass Fishing became my new favourites.. And a few months ago (after years of not playing it much more) I even set up a PC-DC server on my laptop, got a USB modem & a couple other things for a cheap set-up to getting my Dreamcast connected to the internet! It's still amazing that it's possible with such an old console and up to this day, I've browsed websites and played with the features in WebTV & played Phantasy Star Online with my friends a lot since then, one even recorded our sessions to VHS (I'm 'CLAIR')

Never owned a Dreamcast myself even though I'm old enough for that to have been a possibility, but a lot of my childhood was playing ports of games that originally released on the Dreamcast (Grandia, the 2 Sonic Adventure games, Phantasy Star Online).
