    I remember that “Fish Life” is in the city hospital especially for Children, And I was really enjoying to play that game too, but last time I went, there's no footprint to be seen.
    After that day, I've been curious about what that thing even was, like name of it or how does it work.
    And now, I'm an adult who casually watching these kind of English documentation vids even I'm japanese.
    This vids comes through my reccomendation, so I click on it if it'll fill my freetimes, or giving me some nicey information.
    THEN, all of sudden, my childhood game that I don't know much about is showing up, and I made happy screem when I see it.
    So in conclusion, I finally know what it was, and it makes me really happy because I really want to know, and it gives me a lot of nostalgic facters.
    If you and this vid doesn't exists, maybe I won't know.
    So thanks a lot, Cybershell.

      I searched some footages, and every single one of them are using really small monitor.
      What I remember, it has big display(which makes sense because Hospital is for children, so using big display can make some amount of children interact at same time)
      Soo maybe there's slightly variation of display , or Hospital uses other display that have function of touching.

      I see what you are saying but in context, from my understanding the initial stock of Dreamcast consoles selling out in Japan was also seen as a huge failure on Sega's part to compete in the console market. The image of Hidekazu Yukawa waking up in a room filed with stock was a minor attempt to bolster confidence and image. The man really tried to keep Sega on top.

    My favorites are the transparent Dreamcast. I always enjoyed the Early 2000s tech design. It's surprising just how many versions of the Dreamcast are out there. Sega really wanted the console to be used by everyone.

    Man. I was such a dumbass. When I was little we had 3 dreamcasts. It was my first console, and when SEGA was selling them so cheap my parents bought extras. So we had 2 brand new Dreamcasts in the box, but my dumbass opened both of them when I was like 8 or 9 because I wanted to see them and use a new one just because.
    Man I could have had a valuable console. Oh well. Still got it ;3

    I actually worked with Nippon and even maziora paint when I first started tinkering with guitars in the early 2000s.
    A longtime colleague and friend is one of the most prolific finishing experts.... known the world over for his work with musical instruments.
    I've seen and work with all kinds of crazy stuff thanks to the access and NeverEnding assortments of things he works with and is exposed to. Also run across all kinds of weird and interesting things like that at The NAMM show every year.
    I have always focused predominantly on vintage reproduction instruments because that's what appealed to me most. I mean I still do work with electric guitars and things but usually they're more of your classic timeless and famous designs. A good 90% of my orders consisted of vintage reproductions and things like that.
    And I was always a few years behind on orders... And at least for me personally it work best if I only took orders for designs that I appreciated or was interested in exploring.
    But every now and then something different would come along that sounded interesting and appealing enough that I would take the job. And that's predominantly when I worked with new and interesting materials and finishes.

    I have a Sega Sports Dreamcast.
    Dad apparently picked it up at Best Buy in the late 90s, played Resident Evil Code Veronica, House of the Dead, and I think, like, Sonic's story in Sonic Adventure and then just kinda forgot about it for a decade or so.
    I was like 5 at this point in time and he and my mom were trying to find more games for me to play on our PS2 but they ended up just finding that Dreamcast stored away so they let me play Sonic on it. No, they didn't let me play any of the other games.
    This was the origin story of what sparked my Sonic autism storm.
    It's really cool though, I think iirc I also still have all of the stuff that came with it, (including the other games I mentioned too) like the cool internet discs I used to mess around with when I was 11, and some of the Sega Sports games (because, well, it's a Sega Sports variant) on top of like, two of these cool demo discs that had a bunch of Dreamcast demos on them, Sonic being one of them.
    The memory cards are easily the most fascinating things ever to me. Like, the Dreamcast has to be my favorite console ever. Those shits would keep me entertained for hours. It's so retardedly simple but fascinating cuz its like a literal gameboy that comes with your system and you can put chao on it and it makes you ask yourself like "why the fuck am I so horny all of the sudden?" if you get what I mean.
    I even begged my dad to give me another one (was like, a transparent blue color) after buying me a copy of SA2 on it (even though I already had it on Gamecube, I just wanted it to see the differences or something I think. Idk I was like 8 or 9) just so I could have the satisfaction of transferring chao between Adventure 1 and 2 for no fucking reason other than to say I did it. It was the most proud accomplishment I had ever felt by that point, and I made sure to tell EVERYONE, including my parents, family members, teachers even, but nobody had any idea what the flying fuck I was talking about. It was like when I complained about SADX's existence after I found out about it through watching a lot of Sonic TH-cam videos and then just seeing Sonic Adventure but... DIFFERENT, and it just made me so fucking mad because it wasn't the Sonic in MY Sonic Adventure and I ALSO complained about that to everyone and they also had no idea what the fuck I was talking about. Absolutely infuriating. HOW COULD THEY?
    Though think of that from the perspective of an elderly adult meeting a very young redheaded, maybe like 6 or 7 year old girl, the daughter of your friends who they hyped up so much as this creative and insightful child and you apparently are taken away by her "doll-like appearance" (I'm not shitting you that's actually what I've been told before) and you expect her to be into like, stereotypical little girl shit, try TALKING about it with her, trying to connect to her, you want to hear what this supposedly "creative and insightful" little girl has to say and then she just has an autistic fit about Sonic the Hedgehog and the SEGA Dreamcast and will ramble on about it for hours straight and you have absolutely no idea what the fuck you're listening to. Like, blue hedgehog? SEGA? Dreamcast? This is all just completely foreign to you and it sounds like an absolute fever dream. All I'm saying is never underestimate a prepubescent autistic sonic fan's ability to make you completely derealize within an hour or two. No one understands me. This is one of they everyday struggle gamers face and it's honestly devastating.

      While Gundam Crossfire was awful, it was the fun kind of awful. Something like that but large scale and actually finished would be awesome. I've also been dreaming of a Star wars Battlefront 2 (The real one) kind of game with the various classes being the various mobile suits.

It was being sold out of Germany. I never heard of it before your video and this may be the only time I ever see one. I’ve seen the S.T.A.R.S. DC console more and it’s probably just as rare though I believe we’re produced. The gold DC was signed by a bunch of people and came in a really cool case.
    Edit: I just checked ebay and yes, the listing ended yesterday but to my surprise, another from Germany sold in January for 11,100 with 120 bids versus yesterday’s with 74 bids. The one from January was 4 of 5 and the one from yesterday was 2 of 5.

    Hey, I have the first Dreamcast you mention! I got my Sega Sports edition of the console from a flea market. It was originally selling for $20, no controller, no memory thingy, no games. I was really interested in it because I'd never encountered a black one before. One of the vendors for the table the console was on asked if I was interested. I explained I wanted the console, but didn't have anymore cash on me (it was true, pretty sure she watched me buy a pretty wall fan next-door). She asked me to wait a second since it was her son's. She went and talked to him and after a second they both came back. After looking at which console I was interested in, and looking at me, he told me I could just have it. He used to play the console every day, but after a while he didn't have time to play it anymore and long before sold off the game collection for it. He said he was just happy it was going to someone who knew what it was and seemed to really want it. I have been loving it for over a decade now myself, and it's still an active device on my entertainment center.

    Everything you talked about here sounds incredible and really forward thinking, but considering Sega had so much going on the time and tons of their money and resources were being drained like a waterfall, it was all too much at once over the course of 3 short years.

    Sega really was ahead of it's time. It's a shame it's console venture died with the dreamcast. On another note, I'm totally down if you wanna make more obscure sega lore videos! I was fascinated by the seaman lore as well as the non-gaming components.

      shame that they had to fumble so much before they actually got their footing. Makes you wonder what would've been had SEGA not been so emotional back in the 90s.

      The dreamcast was incredible. Even just as a gaming console it had so many interesting features which nobody has really touched on since.
