    I took an X-BOX with a folder full of warez (all the top titles) to my friends kid's birthday party

    Do you know what they played all night? - SNES games !

    Nothing beats 8bit for pick up and playability.

      Wasn't the SNES considered a 16-bit console?

      Now, NES and Master System - them were some good times.

    As the other reply said, it's alive and well in the underground scene: modds, homebrew games, all sorts of stuff. But it's also not dead in the commercial scene. Dreamcast hardware is still used in arcade cabinets, as was mentioned a couple months back in the article about SNK dropping the aging NeoGeo hardware in their Arcade systems.

    For those wanna pick up a Dreamcast (or an extra one) theres a neat sale going on at EBGames. Buy a used Dreamcast for $15 USD and get an extra controller. Doesn't sound like much at first, but after you read this report and take a look at all the free underground works out there...

    Or for those who are lazy and have access to a good choice of Dreamcast games, about $30 more and you got yourself a cheap $~50 system, 2 controllers, and a (couple) game(s). Not bad if you're trying to stretch your money.

    There are still offical games coming for DC in Japan as well. Of course most are ports of Dating sims but they did get Capcom VS SNK 2 and also SVC Chaos
