I managed to prise my nine year old son off COD for a few minutes last night and introduce him to the Dreamcast for the first time. I got him playing 18 Wheeler and Space Channel 5 for a couple of hours and he really enjoyed them. When I put on Shenmue I was intrigued as to whether he'd like it or not. I shouldn't have worried. For the next few hours I sat and watched him winning prizes at the Tomato convenience store, wandering round Dobuita, playing darts and opening drawers whilst muttering to himself that he had found the best game in the world.

Later on, in bed, he asked me about getting a Dreamcast for christmas. I explained to him that they were no longer made but that I'd ask Santa about it.

A new convert then :D
