I think Dreamcast ran at a much higher frame rate, it looked amazing.

if any franchise needs a reboot is that podracer game.

high speed gladiatorial races. Mario kart with more boomboom

    I played this demo for a game called Ascent: Rivals at a convention last year. It was like a modern pod racing game, it was pretty cool. They have a demo up on steam that I’ve had in my wishlist for a while now, tho I haven’t really looked at it in a year.

    Deathgrip is another spiritual successor in the same vein as the one you linked, although it's been stuck in development hell for a while now I think. I haven't heard anything about the project since the demo hit and it's still set to release into early access in 2025

    And, it works with the Dreamcast VGA cable. Very nice picture quality.

    At the time, the Dreamcast seemed a generation ahead of the competition, I'm still in disbelief that it failed

    If it had two sticks and a DVD drive, it would have been really great. But they stuck with the kinda dumb Saturn layout, despite the Dual Shock being out for a couple years at that point. The keyboard and mouse support was an awesome addition, but a dual analog controller would have been awesome.

    It was mainly the fact that the games could easily be copied by anybody with a decent CD burner.

    Shortly after a game dropped, a guy would come around my work selling shady copies on cdr in jewel cases with bubble jet printed covers for $20.

    Can't sell a system if nobody is buying games.

    Also, had a buddy that used a bootloader on it to watch downloaded anime back when only the must mainstream stuff was available in the West.
