You state that you want games to "last forever" and not just a few years. This is one of the most important facets of OnlineConsoles. If you hit up the Online Game List at the Dreamcast site, you will see games marked with a green X. They are online forever. I will list them below: Starlancer Quake 3 4x4 Evolution Sega Swirl Each of these games are what we call "Online Forever" and have independent means for taking them online with no loss of gameplay. PSO has not been classified yet. In theory it is online forever, but updated software for the game has not been released yet. In-addition to this the alternative servers that are available are not working 100%. Basically, homebrew PSO servers are currently a briar-patch in terms of functionality. This isn't to say their existance is a bad thing by any means. I should have more commentary on the future of PSO over at OC in the coming months. Anyways my main reason for commenting was to clarrify that most of the games currently online for the DC are in-fact online forever. You can play the NTSC-U/C version of Quake 3 Arena and not have to worry about it going offline :) -nikon onlineconsoles.com Hi racketboy, I stumbled across your site from slashdot referencing one of your other articles.
