Sega Dreamcast
It was the third night of Hannukah, 1999. I had just beaten out my brother for the recovery of the sacred afikomen, and was high off of my win. But then, I opened up a Sega Dreamcast. It was the first console I could call truly my own, having only ever peaked over my brother’s shoulder as he played Genesis for years—the original Twitch experience. I played Power Stone 2 and Soul Calibur and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on it the most, but on that day it came with Sonic Adventure, which was fine. Dreamcast will always hold a special place in my heart and it lasted me a long time, because my next console wasn’t until the Nintendo Wii.
