Sega's new online DreamCast network

[NikPreviousAcct]

<< SAN FRANCISCO, CA (Associated Press)?A year ago, Sega Dreamcast became the first home video game system with a modem inside. Beginning this week, Sega will let people use the modem the way it was envisioned: to play games on a special Internet network built exclusively for them.

The SegaNet service debuting Thursday will let players go head-to-head online and chat about their games. Until now, the modem's main advantage was just that it could be used to download enhancements to Sega games.

Sony's powerful PlayStation 2, due to reach stores October 26, won't come with a modem at first, although Sony says it will begin installing them next year.

At the launch, only NFL 2K1, a football game, will be playable on SegaNet. However, Sega promises that 10 to 12 games will be available by fall, including Quake III Arena, a new version of the gory first-person shooting game, and Phantasy Star Online, a science-fiction role-playing game.

I beta tested for that. It's actually kinda cool, but real buggy.

Why would anyone let you beta test anything.

I'm picking up a copy of NFL2k1 tomorrow. Unfortunately, that's the first day any of the places around me get it in.

I am very curious (and excited) to see how the online version works.

Lozer not credible? :Q

I don't know what you guys are talking about since an Acura Type-R
can do the 1/4 mile in 11.22@109 or better, in Gran Turismo 2!
And since GT2 is the Real Driving Simulator nobody should
blame him for believing that such results could be achievable in
real life. Blame Sony.
