Today is the anniversary of the Dreamcast's 9/9/99 launch in the US! Fifteen years ago people were excitedly opening their Dreamcasts for the first time. It was one of the most successful console launches in history, for a device that most people agree was far ahead of its time; it came with a modem for online play, the VMU enabled portable mini-games for multi-sited play, and it was home to all kinds of groundbreaking experiments in game design, graphics and storytelling.
Today is also the one year anniversary of the launch of Dreamcast Worlds. I can't believe only a year has passed, it already seems so long ago. The book has been featured in a Storybundle, received numerous press accolades, and I had the pleasure of giving a talk about it at DiGRA this year alongside Mia Consalvo and Skot Deeming, who have also written excellent studies of the Dreamcast.
