The Dreamcast was Sega's attempt to bring the arcade experience to players' living rooms in the late '90s with a lineup of fighting games, 3D graphics capabilities and online play, plus a controller with a modular secondary display. It came out in Japan in late 1998 and hit the global market one year later, introducing pivotal titles like ChuChu Rocket!, SoulCalibur, Sonic Adventure, Phantasy Star Online, Space Channel 5, Jet Set Radio, Shenmue and Resident Evil – Code: Veronica. The Dreamcast was the first console to include a modem, enabling online services including live worldwide leaderboards and multiplayer experiences.
