I can't believe I threw away my Dreamcast. I'm such an idiot.
Right there with ya, except I gave away all my consoles. Original 2600, 5200, Intellivision, NES, SNES, Game gear... on up through my two 360s. There were since esoteric ones in there, and some real stinkers: CD-i, 3DO leap to mind.
There's a few on ebay for like a hundred bucks, or there's always emulation

I ran NES emulators on my Dreamcast, lol.
Gonna have to dig it out over the weekend...
Didn't know they were that versatile. I never had one but I'm into retro gaming so I've played a little, but I tend to put more time into nes or snes to try to relive my childhood haha
At this point nearly any device with a screen can emulate SNES games and the consoles that came before it. I have a cheap Chinese retro game handheld from Ali Express and it's honestly so refreshing to play games that aren't begging me to spend extra money.
Also, playing fan translations of games that weren't released in the west like mother 3 and dragon quest monsters is so cool. 10 year old me would be so jealous.
