Sega Dreamcast Console (BOXED)(WITH MANUAL & INSERT)(FAIR)
In May 1998, Microsoft announced it would be collaborating with Sega on its new home video game system, the Dreamcast, which saw its European release in October 1999. As a result of the collaboration, Microsoft provided an optimised version of the Microsoft Windows CE operating system with integrated DirectX services as the operating system for use with Dreamcast
The Microsoft and Sega collaboration marked a leap forward in game console technology. Dreamcast included advanced hardware technology in 3D graphics, sound, and input devices, as well as an on-board modem to support internet access and network gaming. The inclusion of Windows CE with DirectX provided a flexible, versatile development environment, supported by Microsoft development tools, that eased title development and makes possible true cross-platform title compatibility with Windows-based PCs. The result was a powerful platform that enabled creative and technical advances in video games to reach entirely new levels.
