ZeroTolerance Writes: I will be honest. When Sega announced it was bringing back some of the classics from its adored Dreamcast console, I was pumped. The thought of going back and playing some of these classic titles really excited me. So far, they have dropped two onto XBLA and, as you can see in our reviews of both, they have failed to age well.
With the Dreamcast Collection, Sega is giving gamers a chance to re-purchase those same two games as well as early access to the other two announced arcade games: Sega Bass Fishing and Space Channel 5: Part 2. In all honesty, for the price, this isn’t a bad deal. Just check your memories at the door, because these aren’t the games you remember playing.
Right now you can save big on retro classics and retro-inspired indie hits. It’s all part of Humble Store’s Retro Paradise Sale, which is running for the next week.
Some of the top deals include Sonic Mania for $6.79, Cuphead for $16.99, Dreamcast Collection for $7.49, Mega Man Legacy Collection for $5.99, and Hotline Miami for $1.99.
BNR: If you know me, you might know that I'm a big fan of the Sega Dreamcast- I don't remember what I was doing when it came out seeing as I was five years old and had more pressing matters on my mind, but no matter- I came to appreciate the ahead-of-its-time brilliance that was the Dreamcast when I grew older. Today (the date system on our site's broken but this article went live on September 9, 2015) marks the 16th anniversary of the US launch of the Sega Dreamcast- it was a unique machine that was home to some awesome games- in memory of it is the latest episode of the Blackman 'N Robin Irregular Game Show, embedded below for your viewing pleasure.

For Your Amusement is a video series in which I, Colm Ahern, play a video game for a considerable amount of time, chop up the video into something easily digestible for the lovely YouTube audience and then share it with the entire world, every Friday.
Next week is the beginning of E3 and as the video game playing public get excited about the forthcoming announcements from the big 3, it felt right to reflect on Sega’s final hurrah in the console market; Dreamcast. For part one, it’s Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi.
As a collection, this garbage. But the games are good though.
A true Dreamcast Collection is not complete without Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, Chu Chu Rocket, Skies of Arcadia, and Sonic Adventure 2.
It's a joke, they really are milking Sega fans to the maximum.
Did Nintendo or some other Sega hating company buy Sega just to do this to all the brands customers?
Bring back Afro Thunder!
