POPULARITY
In November 2001 Microsoft released their first console into a market that was changing. Sega's Dreamcast had failed so they left the market. However Microsoft knew how to make an entrance! From the off they set out to do things differently. With a several must own exclusive games, a built in hard drive, some amazing arcade style games from Sega of all people and more, gamers had to take notice. In this episode Paul, Tom and Chris Smith Mk2 discuss their early memories of the machine, what led to them buying the console, which games they feel should be played and more. Going up against the Nintendo Gamecube and Sony Playstation 2 was a bold move for the Xbox but with games such as Halo, Fable, House Of The Dead 3, Project Gotham Racing etc there was plenty for all gamers to get excited about. We hope by the end of this episode you agree.
On this episode, “The Console Wars”, Anthony, John, and Mike discuss the timeless battle between the many brands who have come and gone, and “The Big 3” that still fight for the top! Looking back as far as the first major battle between Nintendo's N64, Sony's Playstation, and Sega's Dreamcast; to the current conflict between Nintendo's Switch, Sony's PS4, and Microsoft's Xbox One... and of PC gaming, of course. Even then Mobile Gaming is making larger leaps to being taken seriously, while VR may end up being the dark horse that nobody expected!

World of DreamcastIt's a special podcast this week, and not only because it's very long (and what you have here is still the result of quite a bit of editing). In Episode Lucky 13 we talk about Sega's Dreamcast, the system that became Sega's last hope as a hardware manufacturer, ultimately sending them reeling into the world of third-party publishing for competing hardware platforms. Join us as we talk about the highs, the lows and everything in between.
