Dreamcast Online With 6 Billion Players
Dreamcast Online With 6 Billion Players
I know that back in 1999 there were 6 billion gamers playing Dreamcast online (according to Sega), but I was wondering if anyone here still takes their girl online and what method they use and what games they play.
I was sure hoping I could play Chu Chu Rocket online again, but I haven't found anyone that has figured it out. From what I have read the only games that are still online are the ones that people were able to figure out while Sega still had servers online or the games used the same source code to work as their PC brethren.

I can get my Dreamcast online with a PC <-> DC server.
I haven't played any online games and the PC I used no longer exists so I have to set this whole thing up again.
Not sure if there is a loader or a patcher that lets you play chu chu rocket without SEGA's servers.
I know you can play Quake 3 Arena this way on the dreamcast.
Also, how can there be 6 billion players when there were way less consoles sold?

I don't believe that there were 6 billion players. That was Sega's advertising campaign and media quotes they used for the Dreamcast back in 1999. I assume it was more of a joke than anything with the thought that everyone in the world would buy a Dreamcast and be playing online. As far as I know they only used this advertising in Europe.Whooa21 wrote: Also, how can there be 6 billion players when there were way less consoles sold?
Yeah, it was a reference to the whole world (around 6 billion people at the time) being able to play together. Here:
