The Dreamcast Junkyard DreamPod

You are now dialled in to a brand new DreamPod special on the Dreamcast's ultimate multiplayer killer app: Phantasy Star Online, or - in Lozz's words - "the greatest f***ing game in the world. Period." Back in 2001, PSO broke new ground by bringing an online RPG experience to console, but did you know that you can still play PSO online on your Dreamcast in 2024? Assembled in The Dreamcast Junkyard lobby this time round are Lozz, Mark (aka MazGamingUK), Brian and Harvey (aka Pizza Hotline) to talk all about what makes Phantasy Star Online's revolutionary console RPG goodness so darn special. They also recount their first memories of the game, think of questions they'd want to ask the game's developers if they had the chance, and take on Lozz's "Who Want to be a Mesetanaire" PSO quiz...

In the most exciting crossover since Jay-Z and Linkin Park did Collision Course, Brian and Lewis are joined by two stalwarts of both the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast community: SaturnDave and Patrick (TraynoCo) of SEGA SATURN, SHIRO! SHIRO! originally started in 2017 as a podcast dedicated to the Saturn, but has since grown into a website, YouTube channel and community dedicated to spreading the love of Sega's misunderstood 32-bit wonder, and later the Dreamcast. In this episode, we go into detail about SHIRO!'s origins, the present and future of the Saturn, the strengths and similarities of both consoles, and much much more.

In this episode of the DreamPod, regular hosts Tom and Andrew are joined by former SEGA Europe Marketing Director Giles Thomas. During his time at SEGA Europe, Giles oversaw the European launch of the Dreamcast after effectively being headhunted by SEGA from his role at MTV. In this episode Giles explains how he was pursuaded to join SEGA, his vision for the European TV advertising campaigns, meeting the SEGA Japan hierarchy, being grilled by Anne 'Weakest Link' Robinson on the BBC's consumer affairs show Watchdog, the European Dreamcast launch event, the influence of Sony's PlayStation, Robbie Williams, blue swirls, PAL game cases, how the delay of the European launch affected sales of the console, SEGA Europe's relationship with the US and Japanese arms of the business, and also what - if anything - he would have done differently if given the chance to launch the Dreamcast all over again. Huge thanks to Giles for joining us to chat about all things Dreamcast. Giles now runs the branding consultancy MIMO Brands, who work with many of the most well-known companies around, so we really appreciate the time he took out to speak with us.
