Ep. 99: 9/9/99 - Launching the Dreamcast (Again)

Published: Dec. 21, 2022, 8 a.m.

Dreamcast Junkyard veterans Tom Charnock and Brian Vines join us to share their knowledge and experiences of the Dreamcast\u2019s launch in both the European and US markets, respectively, and even a little on the Japanese market\u2019s launch. In this episode: bonding over our strict video game upbringing rules; doing our darnedest to NOT derail into a Geist Force investigation; why the packaging differed; a deep dive into swirls; various lawsuit threats toward Sega; and many of the similarities and differences between these two market launches.
