Dreamcast turns 25 and Limited Run Games is celebrating with merchandising, including the typical caps and t-shirts… and also collectible cards.
Dreamcast, Sega’s last console, and perhaps the most beloved and remembered by many fans, who enjoyed its brief but intense career with probably the best crop of games of all time. Segahas fulfilled 25 years.
In fact, it turned 25 last year, but today, September 9, marks 25 years since that 9.9.99 that Sega of America advertised ad nauseam, turning the launch of the console into an event that swept the board (sadly, sales did not keep up in the following years).
However, as a sign of the enormous affection that fans have for the console, Limited Run Games is releasing a Dreamcast merchandising collection, including the usual fare (T-shirt, key chains, cap) and also something a bit more special, a collection of trading cards, now available for pre-order.
