Yeah, I remembered you having one as well. Did I ever pick up any games
for you? I know I picked up quite a few for KKC when the local EB was
clearing them out.

Nice. See, that's something I'd use just to sample these games before I
put any effort into hunting them down. Like the DC, it seems like the
general majority of the software is only found via online retailers.

Looking at my outbox, yeah, I asked you to pick up Pocket Kingdom and
KOF. And fuck, that was 3.5 years ago. Time flies when Sega abandons you...

Indeed it does. Breaks my heart to see what Sega has become...

Oh come on. Yeah, it's a far cry from the Dreamcast days, but we're
_finally_ getting Jambo Safari at home, and the company still is
putting out some quality stuff like the new Sega Rally, Virtua
Fighter, and Virtua Tennis games. Sonic Unleashed damn near missed the
mark for being the kind of Sonic game most fans would of cheered for,
and Sega's getting a lot of success in publishing some great stuff as
well.

I'd imagine we'll hopefully be getting a Skies of Arcadia 2 update
within the year, and Sega's internal teams have to be working on
_something_, right? I do recall seeing a quote from Sega expressing
interest in a Space Channel 5 part 3, and who knows. The Tokyo Game
Show is just three months away, so hope for the best. :^)

...after Sega said that there would be no arcade ports for the DC.
Imagine how this makes most feel. ;)

Though I feel there hasn't been a good SR title since the original, I
will admit that both VF and VT have consistently been solid...but still,
they're only two games.

The demo for SU was pretty hip, and I would pick it up at some
point...but still, even with a few minor hits like this Sega just hasn't
been the same since the DC days.

With the new Sega I just sort of expect the worst...and they usually
come through with exactly that. ;)
