I haven't played all of those systems, and there sure are a lot of good ones up there. But I went with the Dreamcast. I got this system recently, and am amazed at how good it is. I think there are enough Dreamcast fans on this site that I don't have to explain my reasons.

When Sega dropped from the hardware race, there was a big hole in gaming in the US.  Xbox replaced the Dreamcast for the more hardcore/fps crowd, but there's still a fairly big hole where those crazy Japanese type games used to be.  Everyone else was afraid to publish them because they thought Americans wouldn't buy them.  They were right.  The DS and Wii have the potential to bring some games from the Japanese market over here.  I think they can do it.

Dreamcast is what I voted for. So sad to see all those Sega systems on that list. The DC was ahead of it time with online gaming and has awesome graphics. Has lots and lots of great games as well.

^Yeah, it almost seems like the DC and the GC were on par with eachother in terms of graphics.

Dreamcast is the best system that never made it. That is the only system on that list that I play. I play it way more then my Gamecube and PS2 combined.

I voted for Dreamcast, and even though I don't own one anymore. I use to love playing it. It had a great collection of games.

alright this was a tough decision for me to choose. naturally you would think i would have voted for the DC hence my user name. But 3 months ago i got into the tg-16 and it blows my freakin mind. i love it. plus the tg-1d and duo. overseas it rocked but in the usa it flopped. plus there are still a lot of people that have never played one. if thats not 'never made it' then i dont know what is.

You're my hero. Vanilla Ice RULES! I can't believe that there is another SERIOUS Vanilla Ice fan on this site. The special edition DVD should be called "Cool As Ice: Drop That Zero Edition".

I voted Saturn, because it was a huge success in Japan, with it's games outselling Playstation ones, and because the Saturn was really just taking off with it's greatest titles coming out House of The Dead, Burning Rangers, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and Shining Force III all hit at once, and showed the systems true power, it was on a roll, and that's when Sega of America decided to kill it......  Shocked
Although the Saturn did very well in Japan, even there Sega stole away the two titles that would truly push the system even further than could of been imagined and truly piss all over the Playstation showing a technically superior system dose count. These games were Virtua Fighter 3 and Shenmue which looked absolutely brilliant for a 32bit system.

The Dreamcast also deserves my vote, and probably more so though, it's been noted by many websites and gaming mags as the most underrated system of all time. NEC's graphic chip really did do wonders, and saw the Dreamcast push some ofthe smoothest and most crisp graphics you could possibly want and for it's time was such a huge leap over it's competition the PS1 & N64 with actual textures being introduced instead of just flat polygons with images pasted on them. The system was mind blowing, and for it to have such a short life was nothing short of a crime. In fact the system was killed off so early we would never get to see the systems full potential, the DC is a system I will forever miss.

But like Tynstar said, it's a pity to see so many Sega systems up there... well maybe not a pity the 32x is there.... the poor man's Saturn? Yeah, maybe if it was a hell of a lot cheaper.

But heck, I was one of the few that actually enjoyed all those FMV drenched Mega-CD titles. It was something new, and I was amazed at how they could even have movies and anime like that in a game haha.
