The Dreamcast was actually the first home console I ever played...but I didn't realise for years as my older brother who brought it round for me to play referred to it as a PlayStation! It was still that era where a console could become so ubiquitous that any games console is just referred to as it, which I feel like we don't have anymore? Mad to think that Nintendo themselves once had to put out ad spots to stop people calling Sega consoles "a Nintendo" to prevent genericide.

But anyway I only ever found out it was actually a Dreamcast because I kept the manual for Army Men: Sarge's Heroes in a box and found it over a decade later. I have always liked Sega though, I had a Plug n Play with a bunch of Mega Drive games when I was younger, and then in secondary school I saved up to buy my own Mega Drive from a local game shop...except my guardian who I sent to buy it with my money ended up buying one of those modern not-Mega Drives that can play the games and has some built in. She really didn't understand why I was so annoyed LOL

I've also picked up all those consoles you listed in the last couple of years (save for a GameCube unfortunately-where I own a Wii which can play GC games it always feels like an excessive purchase so I'm just waiting for the right price to show up. It doesn't help that I want a Pearl White one which can be pretty pricey!). Also Sonic Adventure DX is kind of regarded as a bad port-it looks worse in many ways and messes some stuff up that it shouldn't have even touched. Same with Sonic Adventure 2 Battle which was also on the GameCube-Dreamcast is the way to play these games!
