031 - Sega Dreamcast & more

In this episode, John and Dave look back at the Sega Dreamcast, sharing memories of the console that was ahead of its time but gone too soon.

  • The Dreamcast had zero copy protection - John and Dave traded burned game CDs "like baseball cards"
  • Their gaming favorites included Crazy Taxi (with its Offspring soundtrack), Jet Grind Radio with its anime style, and Shenmue's groundbreaking open world
  • John demonstrates his new "Singe" emulator that runs Laserdisc-style games and lets people create interactive adventures from movie clips
  • They reminisce about playing games on massive CRT TVs that "weighed a billion pounds"
  • John shares his Batocera emulation setup that includes arcade games and serves as a central ROM library
  • They discuss how modern gaming is moving toward platform-agnostic services, similar to what Sega did after the Dreamcast
