It is with great elation that Sega have revealed they are finally re-entering the console hardware business with a sequel to the legendary Dreamcast console. The new Dreamgen will be entirely powered by Sega’s new AI system, Mother Brain, named after the omnipotent AI system managing the entire environment of the planet Mota in Phantasy Star II (1989). Dreamgen’s Mother Brain will play a similar role with the new console, and just like Phantasy Star II’s Mother Brain, it can always be relied upon to function as intended and never cause any major issues.

Lazy Game Reviews covers the Diamond Edge 3D card that brought the SEGA Saturn experience to PC

With varying degrees of hardware and dear god, playing Virtua Fighter on a keyboard? Back when SEGA was making a big push for PC gaming, they teamed up with NVidia with the Diamond Edge 3D card for Windows 95. The package brought you Virtua Fighter Remix and Panzer Dragoon as a couple of free games as well as two SEGA Saturn controllers. Why? Because the video card also featured an adapter that lets you plug in any Saturn controller to your computer all while rendering 3D via quadratic texture mapping (In lieu of any OpenGL compatibility), much like an actual SEGA Saturn. YouTube content creator Lazy Game Reviews has recently posted a review on this rare piece of hardware and shows off the card and the games in action.
