==Trivia== *The Dreamcast is the first entry in the sixth generation of consoles, followed by the [[PlayStation 2|PlayStation 2]], [[Xbox]], and [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] years later. *The Dreamcast is the first console to support online multiplayer and 480p video without the use of an adapter. *The Dreamcast appears as an easter egg in the cutscenes of ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]''. **One is seen when [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] presses the button to fire his laser in the opening movie. **One is also seen when [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] defeats the [[Egg Dragoon]], to the right of Eggman. **When Sonic loses his [[Sonic the Werehog|Werehog form]], another is seen to the left of Eggman. **If the player looks closely at the two games beside the Dreamcast in the intro cutscene, one says "Eggman Adventure", while the other says, ''Nights into Dreams''. *''[[Sonic Shuffle]]'' and ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', along with a playable demo of ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'', were packaged with the Dreamcast in 2000. *In ''Sonic Adventure 2'', there is a poster in [[City Escape]] that says "Playing SA2 is habit forming! Don't turn off your DC!" *Some Dreamcast games were compiled into the ''[[Dreamcast Collection]]'' for the [[Xbox 360]] and [[PC]]. *The logo swirl was orange in Japan and red in North America. However, the swirl had to be changed to blue in Europe and Australia because of copyright reasons as a German company, Tivola, uses a similar red swirl and [[Sega]] would have gotten into litigation for copyright infringement.<ref name="Service Games">{{Cite book|last1=Pettus|first1=Sam|last2=Munoz|first2=David|last3=Williams|first=Kevin|last4=Barroso|first4=Ivan|title=Service Games: The Rise and Fall of SEGA: Enhanced Edition|editor=David Chen|publisher=Smashword Edition|date=20 December 2013|isbn=9781311080820|page=308, 310, 442}}</ref> **Despite this, European Dreamcasts still feature a red light when turned on. *In [[Eggmanland (Town Stage)|Eggmanland]] in ''Sonic Unleashed'', Sonic can meet a robot named [[EF-DC1998]], who's name is a reference to the Dreamcast console and the year its first ''Sonic'' title released. *The Dreamcast has the second least amount of Sonic titles on a console behind the [[Sega Saturn]], which had three. *The Dreamcast appears as a controller in boat mode driven by [[AGES]] in ''[[Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed]]''. *The Dreamcast makes cameo appearances in Disney's TV show, ''[[Wikipedia:Sonny with a Chance|Sonny with a Chance]]''. *A deleted scene for the animated short ''[[Sonic: Night of the Werehog]]'' features Sonic and [[Chip]] playing on a Dreamcast inside the haunted house.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Bloom|first=Ryan|title=Concept Art Unleashed: Night of the Werehog|url=http://www.tssznews.com/2009/03/07/concept-art-unleashed-night-of-the-werehog/|publisher=TSSZ News|date=7 March 2009|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150725132810/http://www.tssznews.com/2009/03/07/concept-art-unleashed-night-of-the-werehog/|archivedate=25 July 2015}}</ref> *Dreamcast GD-ROM discs were region-locked, but this could be circumvented with the use of boot discs and an installation of a region-free BIOS. *The Dreamcast was the last console to be marketed with the processer's bits.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Mullen|first=Michael|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/ects-the-truth-about-the-dreamcast/|title=ECTS: The Truth About the Dreamcast...|date=5 September 1999|accessdate=25 July 2018}}</ref><ref>[[Media:Dreamcast mag.jpg|Official Sega Dreamcast Magazine Premier Issue Cover]].</ref> *The Dreamcast was the second Sega console to compete with a [[Wikipedia:Sony|Sony]] console, the first being the [[Sega Saturn]] which tried to compete with the first [[wikipedia:PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]], and The Dreamcast competed with the [[PlayStation 2]] later on.
