Chankast

Ahhh… The Dreamcast. A next-gen system in the second gen era of videogame systems. Full 3D, Online play, Memory Card that were used as secondary screens as well as portable game systems, all Sega firsts. The Dreamcast also leaded the way with innovations such as:

  • The first console to support motion sensitive game play
  • The first karaoke video game
  • The first console to use speech recognition (I’m talkin to you “Hey You, Pikachu!” fans)
  • The first console to offer downloadable content
  • The first console to use an ethernet connection for online gameplay
  • The first console to offer cross-platform online gameplay
  • The first modern console to include a fully functional web browser.

I love the Dreamcast. It’s my favorite console and I would do just about anything to get my old one fixed or replaced. I once called the president of PlanetWeb, the makers of the PlanetWeb browser for the Dreamcast, to thank him for bringing PlanetWeb’s servers back online. Along with my Sega Genesis and my PS2, I plan on keeping it to show my grandkids what gaming was like before mind-link interfaces.

Now, keeping that in mind, let me talk here about something I’m really excited about. Chankast. Its an emulator; A Dreamcast emulator. Needless to say I am all over this like white on rice.

Chankast!

Rejoice, my brothers and sisters.

The Spaghetti Monster is with you. Blessed are you among sauces, and blessed is the spice from your shaker. Heated meatsauce, monster of taste, pray for us non-pirates now and at the hour of our hunger.
