數以百萬計的人今天將登入到他們選擇的影片遊戲機上玩Destiny，這是一款備受期待的線上多人影片遊戲，來自Halo系列的創造者。但網路遊戲的興起，多人射擊遊戲的天文數字般的成功，甚至是《光環》遊戲之家Xbox Live的建設，都要歸功於世嘉夢幻。這款註定失敗的遊戲機為線上遊戲鋪平了道路，配備了56K遊戲機和一些非典型配件，如寬頻介面卡、滑鼠和鍵盤。

美國世嘉（Sega）前總裁、電子藝界（Electronic Arts）現任營運長彼得•摩爾（Peter Moore）花了一點時間回憶了他15年前在1999年9月9日推出Dreamcast的經歷。諷刺的是，電子藝術在Dreamcast的失敗中扮演了一個角色，拒絕在遊戲機上釋出遊戲。並不是說夢幻演員想要的是高質量的體育比賽，摩爾在他的文章中提到了這一點。

摩爾允許我們重新釋出他的Facebook帖子。一定要閱讀道格拉斯·佩裡的《夢幻演員的興衰》和佐亞·斯特裡特的《夢幻演員的世界》，這兩本書是該系統最好的作品。

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...
