It offered improvements on the foundation PlayStation had set before it and served as a jumping-off point for the following decade. So 20 years later we’re left to reflect on all that was good about the Dreamcast and hope only that SEGA will give it the retro console reboot we’ve seen from so many other beloved gaming icons…

NBA fans know that over the last decade or so, there’s only been one option when it came to a true virtual basketball simulation. 2K Studios has enjoyed leader of the pack status for some time now with its basketball franchise, while competitors like NBA Live have fallen to the wayside.
