I love you all, but I gotta say, the only right answer is Dreamcast. Why? The thing was ahead of its time and everything about the Dreamcast is what Xbox drew inspiration from and probably even some bought assets.
We got one of our first Berserk games on that console, power stone (practically exclusive dreamcast game from Capcom), soul caliber, blue stinger, spawn in the demon hand, sonic adventures series, resident evil 2-3-Veronica, house of the dead, typewriter of the dead, and more.
The games, the unique feel this could have not have been a better console to go out with.
Sega Genesis was amazing, it truly placed competition with Nintendo at a neck and neck for the super Nintendo, but let’s be honest: Sega 32x and sega CD were not smart ideas. If Sega saved their time and money developing Saturn or Neptune around the launch of the launch of Genesis, they would’ve stayed at a even profit against Nintendo.
The only downsides to the Genesis were a less favorable sound chip, and less than appealing color palette versus the Super Nintendo, but aside from that, Genesis was the console that really gave Sega it’s legs and stood out from the Nintendo console. Let’s never forget how great Sega was at one point.
Dreamcast was the best in my opinion. VMU memory cards, Sega fishing rod, start up screen, keyboard, internet access, online gameplay, really a dream console for the ages.
The dreamcast to me is still a good console, it’s still holds up for the nostalgic gamer. And ya know, there are some people who still develop games for the console? That shows a cult following of a long since retired console. Best Sega console. I’m glad to play it when I did and I still have it too. Lol
