On September 9, 1999, North America was introduced to one of the most revolutionary gaming platforms of all time…and what was then unbeknownst to many, Sega’s swan song in the console race.
Billed as “It’s Thinking” in its American advertising campaign, the Dreamcast was far ahead of its time with a online capability, its unique storage capacity in the GD-rom, a stand-alone console with its memory card – the VMU, and a slew of eclectic accessories and software that have yet to be repeated.
In celebration of The Dreamcast’s 25th North American Anniversary, LI Retro will be hosting an all-encompassing look at what made the console and its library so revolutionary, its legacy since, and the future of its preservation in history.
This unique exhibit will explore the history, high points, and legacy that will symbolize the Dreamcast’s legendary status. This exhibit will feature games – all playable – that have help set it apart in the hearts of gamers to this day.
