数以百万计的人今天将登录到他们选择的视频游戏机上玩Destiny，这是一款备受期待的在线多人视频游戏，来自Halo系列的创造者。但网络游戏的兴起，多人射击游戏的天文数字般的成功，甚至是《光环》游戏之家Xbox Live的建设，都要归功于世嘉梦幻。这款注定失败的游戏机为在线游戏铺平了道路，配备了56K游戏机和一些非典型配件，如宽带适配器、鼠标和键盘。

美国世嘉（Sega）前总裁、电子艺界（Electronic Arts）现任首席运营官彼得•摩尔（Peter Moore）花了一点时间回忆了他15年前在1999年9月9日推出Dreamcast的经历。讽刺的是，电子艺术在Dreamcast的失败中扮演了一个角色，拒绝在游戏机上发布游戏。并不是说梦幻演员想要的是高质量的体育比赛，摩尔在他的文章中提到了这一点。

摩尔允许我们重新发布他的Facebook帖子。一定要阅读道格拉斯·佩里的《梦幻演员的兴衰》和佐亚·斯特里特的《梦幻演员的世界》，这两本书是该系统最好的作品。

Once again, I trust my employers here at EA will allow me the indulgence of reminiscence and nostalgia on this day, 09/09/14, the 15th anniversary of the launch of the Dreamcast here in North America on the wonderfully numerically-correct date of 09/09/99. It certainly doesn't feel like fifteen years have gone by since this innovative c***ole ushered in the era of online gaming, albeit through a 56K modem, and thus changed the face of interactive entertainment forever. The memories of course are bittersweet - we all know how this movie ended - but I was fortunate to have worked at that time with some of the most amazingly dedicated individuals, all of whom were galvanized around a single goal: prove the naysayers wrong, launch the c***ole with a bang, get to a meaningful installed base within the first twelve months, and keep the momentum going in the face of the upcoming stiff competition. We still get together as a team from time-to-time, and oh the stories we tell. Lots of coulda/shoulda/woulda, but primarily pride in our accomplishments and the legacy we firmly believe can be seen and felt in gaming to this day.

With the Dreamcast's online capabilities, we coined a phrase "We're taking gamers where gaming is going". In our heart of hearts, we worried that we would not be there for the entire journey, but it was with great pride that with our Sega Sports games in particular, that we ushered in the era of connected interactive entertainment. I don't think it is an overstatement to say that the Dreamcast and it's online network laid the ground for what we all take for granted today - online game play, linking innumerable gamers from around the world to play, compete and collaborate, as well as enabling new content to be delivered in addition to that which was delivered on the disc. Rarely does a week go by where I don't bump into somebody that fondly reminisces about this wonderful piece of hardware and the great times they had (and are still having!) playing some of its superb games. So as we all enjoy everything the next generation of hardware has to offer, give a tip of the hat (or glass) this evening to The Little C***ole That Could. The Sega Dreamcast...
