The pitch

Sega's swan song console — a VMU memory card with its own screen, online play before anyone else bothered, and a swirl logo everyone can still draw from memory.

Why people remember it

  • The VMU let you play mini-games on the controller itself.
  • Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi defined a console generation in under two years.
  • It was discontinued in 2001, making every unit today a piece of gaming history.

Did you know?

  • The Dreamcast was the first console with a built-in modem for online play.
  • Sega stopped making consoles after the Dreamcast and became a third-party publisher.
