Did the DC come with 1 or 2 Web Browsing CDs?

Post#1 » Sun Nov 04, 2018 1:50 am

Hello all...while browsing on ebay for some DC items I saw someone selling 2 web browsing CDs for the Dreamcast. I have a launch day DC and all I remember it coming with was the 1 Web Browser CD...later DCs I know had the Web Browser 2.0 CD. Saw this guy selling a 1.0 CD plus another "Internet" CD...did launch day DC's come with this? Was this added later on? ANyone know the deal with this?

Mine came with one web browser disc, however around 2000-2002, you could contact sega directly and get a free copy of the latest version of the web browser. I did at the time and got an updated version that also included several game demos on the disc. It didn't come in this AT+T package though, but maybe it was something similar.

I was going to reply last night but my post had to be approved first....seems to never fail for me. I can't figure something out, i search a little, can't find anything, i go to/join a forum, ask a question to get some help, search a little more while waiting for replies and find the answer minutes after making a thread. So weird!

Any who, after some more research I found that this disk was from the DC magazine...the one that had those Generator demo discs. So it did NOT come with the DC itself, but from a magazine to pop into your PC. Here's what the guy on Reddit said:

"It is the AT&T WorldNet service disc to set up thier service. It came in a Dreamcast Magazine issue with a demo disc and the web browser v2. Here is a picture of it, it's on the bottom right: "
