Oh yes, absolutely - all valid points and a good rundown.

My point was - in a short sentence, the online multiplayer is a subsystem we take for granted now, but was brought to market before the infrastructure really could support it.

I loved the dreamy too, it’s just a shame that Sega were in such terrible financial waves - probably because it spent a good chunk of cash on doomed add-ons to it’s 16bit series of consoles.
