I don't know if anyone already said this, but to the OP I think the Saturn was the first to go online. And actually I kinda remember some service for the Genesis that would do something similar, not sure on that one.

Thumbs up though! Dreamcast rocks. I passed up buying one for 20 bucks and Grandia 3 (?) for 5. Wish I had never gotten rid of my first one though.. Heh, I will always remember 9.9.99 and my jaw hitting the floor as we played Soul Calibur and Sonic.

 Saturn was not the first,far from it.

 

NES and Atari systems had the ability but was far less known then. The NES was more of a Lan like idea but had a range of maybe few houses down the street.

SNES/Genesis had a 3rd party service called X-Band and big developers supported it the most known was Street Fighter II. 

 

 

As for the topic,I still have the DC hooked up in my EC and play it often..no reason not to. :)
