As far as underrated consoles go, it’s hard to beat the Sega Dreamcast. Discontinued after just a few years on the market, it never earned the critical acclaim of its competitors–the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube. However, Dreamcast was home to some of the best games of the generation, and you can relive its history with The Dreamcast Encyclopedia. Written by prolific games journalist Chris Scullion, the hardcover book takes a look at the console’s troubled timeline while also discussing its entire game catalog, making it the definitive destination for fans of the platform.
The Dreamcast Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
$30 (was $40)
The current discount on The Dreamcast Encyclopedia brings it down to one of its lowest prices of the year. It clocks in at 280 pages and features over 600 games (including the 300+ that were only launched in Japan). You’ll also find screenshots for every game, along with their release date, publisher, developer, and tons of other interesting facts about their development and reception.
We’d recommend snagging the hardcover volume as it makes a great addition to a game room or bookcase, though the Kindle version is also available for just $15.
