So for me, I didn’t learn about bleemcast! until way after the events of the Dreamcast had long transpired, and it was years later still that I actually discovered this had been an actual retail product, and wasn’t like my copy of DreamSnes that had been created and uploaded from some shed somewhere. Related article: Official bleemcast! Press Release Discovered.
Anyway, what I am trying to paint a picture of is that my finger during the 2000-2004 era was hardly on the pulse of information about anything.let alone Dreamcast.
New (well, pre-owned) games I still managed to justify occasionally, but instant noodles and supermarket value bread were prioritised over games magazines and the internet was something I went to the library to check for roughly 1 hour a week when hungover and between lectures (and even then was mainly to email friends who had gone to other universities.and nearly almost always simply to tell them how hungover I was). The console, therefore, existed for me during a stage of enforced self poverty. The main reason for this is that I had only owned the console for a mere 8 months when I packed up and left home for the bright lights of university. The Dreamcast, as much as I love it, and despite my role here at The Dreamcast Junkyard is a console I am wilfully ignorant on compared to the other staff members.
A bit of a throw forward, I have another article in the works about ‘Why I Dreamcast’ even though it’s fast approaching 2020 and a large part of that is a deeply personal and nostalgia-fuelled longing and sense of clinging to a certain place in time.
