What Sega System!

Welcome aboard DarthTsarkon!
I love the Saturn, just can't choose over it or the Megadrive.

A few years ago I would've said Dreamcast hands down, but almost all of it's games are now ported somewhere else.

Yeah I know, the Genesis/MD is amazing and has countless classics. Mine still gets regular playtime. Though I love the DC for its technological prowess, for me it lagged behind when it came to games that held my interest. Obviously it had many great games, but there are only a few that I hold on the same level as the Panzer Dragoon series, Iron Storm, Fighters Megamix and of course Genesis titles such as the Phantasy Star series. PSIV...what a game.

I'd go Dreamcast.
Mostly for the variety of games and genres.
Heck, it was inventing genres that haven't been seen since.

Insanely difficult choice for me between the Saturn and DC, but the presence of Shenmue I and II on the Dreamcast makes it more essential. Only Saturn game to really come close for me is Dragon Force (and maybe Panzer Dragoon Saga, if it weren't so damn expensive). Furthermore, its potential for homebrew games and emulators really extends the Dreamcast's longevity, even in light of it not having as large a library as say, the Genesis/Mega Drive.

The only downside of the Dreamcast is that it isn't as well built as its predecessors. I've had a Saturn since 1996 (and one that I've admittedly been very rough with) which works flawlessly, whereas my first Dreamcast broke down after three years of careful use.
