About

Dreamcast Years was originally meant to be a website to support the crowdfunded book ‘Dreamcast: Year One’, as well as being a place to buy it. However, with the 20th anniversary of the Dreamcast in Europe dawning it became clear that this site should provide more than just a storefront for a book.

I wanted to create a podcast that was centred around the Dreamcast, but looking at what led up to it and how gaming evolved afterwards. You’ll find content ranging from the year 1994 through to the year 2013.

On this site you’ll discover the DCY Podcast via the ‘Podcasts’ section, where you can listen to us chat all about gaming between those key dates I mentioned, and information about the printed media we produce in the ‘Books’ section. Check out ‘Posts’ for updates about the books, the podcast and the occasional article too.

Why not join us to discuss the Dreamcast years by visiting us on Twitter or Discord?!

This is just the start. The ‘Dreamcast Years’ were some of the most prolific in the history of gaming, with best-selling consoles and game franchises being created or seeing their best work released during this time. For me, it was a golden age. There’s a huge amount of potential between 1994 and 2013, so watch this space as we introduce new ways to explore it.
