Those of us who came of age in the golden age kind of see the DC as the end of the line for the style of gaming we grew up with. For that reason, the DC will always be among my favorites.
I think that is a great reason why it might be considered that.
One of the many reasons I love my Dreamcast is because of all the arcade ports. I have many of them,ALWAYS looking for the ports I don't have.
