Sega seems to make misttep after misstep... First with the upgrades to the original genesis, which, while cool, didn't really add much in the way of value (and the Sega CD games rivaled the NES for punishing difficultly out of the gate). Then the saturn flopped, so they pushed out the Dreamcast, which had been their pet project for most of the decade, only for the PS2 to drop like a month (two?) later and basically make it irrelevant, which is a shame, because there were some fun games on that console, which is ironic, given the Sonic title for the console was a glitchy mess.

...and of course the failure of the Dreamcast basically killed the one-time rival to nintendo as a console developer, and they've made unfortunate choice after unfortunate choice ever since...

shame, I really liked the blue blurr... the chemical plant zone alone was worth playing sonic two...
