Dreamcast Marathon Online

[TJ Kitsune]

Greetings!
So some of you may be aware of a 24 hour "Dreamless Dreamcast Marathon" that the now defunct group once known as Sega Addicts once put on. If you haven't heard, well, it's a Charity event that the Sega Addicts put on once a year around the anniversary of the Dreamcast! (That's September 9th, for us U.S. folks!) Some of us ex-members have decided that we'd like to continue this event as it's own thing.

For our first official year, we are being hosted by Sega Nerds/Mega Visions Magazine and the charity will be for the Pittsburgh Children's Hospital in the U.S. and will be holding it on the weekend of September 1st, 2018. We'd like to try and do a few online games with the community and we will be live streaming all 24 hours on Twitch! (http://twitch.tv/MegaVisionsMag)

This is where you all come in! What times would be good for you all and what games would you like to be broadcast to the world? Please let us know in this topic if you would like to participate, your times available, and the games you'd be interested in.

Start time for the marathon is September 1st, 2018 @ 8AM EST!

i'm in for sure!! that saturday...i should be avalable off and on throughout the day...just depends on whats going on with my kids...but for sure when they go to bed...around 9pm EST until around 12am would be prime for me

[ncman071]

oh as far as games...WSB2k2 would be great...and maybe some AFO

Since there will be multiple of you in the stream, maybe play one of the games that supports two local players like ChuChu Rocket or Ooga Booga. Of course PSO is a given as well, especially since you're playing on Saturday when a ton of people are usually on.

ooga booga would be awesome....i've been playing single player last day or so just to get better

Thank you for those who have replied! Keep suggestions coming, please! We're trying to get together our schedule and will include some of those listed for sure!

Greetings, all! I am hosting this insanity from my house and am very excited to see the response on here! As TJ mentioned, we are trying to gage the interest in organizing some online play during the Marathon.

We also have weekly updates posting on Reddit. Feel free to swing by. Next week's post will be very relevant to this site with "What Game Do you Want to See its Online Reignited?" Be sure to keep an eye out!

Thanks, everyone!

Probably would have helped if I included the link to the most recent Reddit topic, haha: https://www.reddit.com/user/ScottyMoFoS ... _the_most/
