Multiple publications have listed at least video games as the best of the Dreamcast. It was the final video game console for Sega, its commercial underperformance ending the company's place as a competitor with Nintendo to dominate the home console market and beginning their period as a sole developer. Editors running best-of-Dreamcast features remember the console as underrated, with ahead-of-its-time hardware that generated the highest-resolution graphics of its console generation with a VGA box and featured several parts in later home consoles, such as an attached microphone for voice control. The Dreamcast also established aspects of online gaming, such as a modem.
