Java On Dreamcast Forges On

According to the site, 'Users will now be able to access the multimedia features on Web sites using Java and play games written in that language..." I'v given up all hope on the DC, but maby a few of you out there...." Since these are officially EOL (even if not completely out of stores), you might be able to pick up your next web-browsing toy at a yard sale.

    Yep, one more great reason to buy a console. Now, tell me again how I've managed to survive all these years without one?

    • use the term "suck" or "sucks" [is] the definition of flamebait.

    Oh great wise one, enlighten your poor disciplies. What term should we use to describe PS2 games? Sub-optimal? Differently excellent?

    Because, by and large, they do suck. Or so I think, and I don't think DC game suck. How do you want me to put that so as not to offend your delicate sensibilities?

    The PS2's biggest weakness was its simply terrible slate of release titles. I mean, come on, SSX? Give me a break.

    But the good news is that some great games are either out or on the horizon, including Gran Turismo 3, Grand Theft Auto 3, and Final Fantasy X. Not to mention Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, which will sell millions.
