The Dreamcast Encyclopedia is the fifth book in Scottish author and
games journalist Chris Scullion's critically-acclaimed series of
video game encyclopedias. The Sega Dreamcast is fondly remembered
by players as a games console that was ahead of its time, almost to
a fault. Its incredible graphics offered a level of detail that
hadn't been seen on home systems to that point, and its built-in
modem brought online multiplayer to many console players for the
first time ever. Ultimately though, the release of the PS2 (and
later the GameCube and Xbox) led to struggling sales and Sega would
eventually pull the plug on the Dreamcast just two years into its
life, bowing out of the console manufacturing business altogether.
On paper the Dreamcast was a commercial failure, but those who
owned one remember it so fondly that for many it remains one of the
greatest games consoles of all time, with a small but well-formed
library of high-quality games. This book contains every one of
those games, including not only the entire western library of
around 270 titles, but also the 340 or so games that were
exclusively released in Japan. With over 600 games covered in
total, screenshots for every title and a light-hearted writing
style designed for an entertaining read, The Dreamcast Encyclopedia
is the definitive guide to one of the most underrated gaming
systems of all time.
