377: The Dreamcast Junkyard - The Retro Hour EP377

Born from a chance encounter with a low-priced Sega Dreamcast at video game shop, The Dreamcast Junkyard has grown from a personal blog into a thriving online community. We chat to Lewis and Mike from the team about the Dreamcast's past, present, and future, exploring why this final console from Sega has left such a lasting impact on the gaming community.
