Normally, I don’t give Christmas decorations a second thought, but I just stumbled across a Sega Dreamcast ornament that has completely changed my perspective. I mean, I’m a ‘90s gamer baby through-and-through, so I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the holidays than paying homage to one of the most underrated consoles of all time. Plus, you can actually get a variety of different systems from yesteryear, meaning I can theoretically make my tree look like an issue of Retro Gamer magazine.
Before you get too excited, this tiny console won’t actually run Jet Set Radio or Crazy Taxi. Instead, the Sega Dreamcast Hallmark Keepsake Christmas Ornament is a palm-sized model of the original console you can grab at Amazon for $22.99 that boasts ridiculous attention to detail. However, it goes above and beyond the whole “honey, I shrunk the kid’s Christmas present” vibe by actually blasting music from Sonic Adventure when you press the power button. There’s even a controller with a tiny VMU installed, for those of you out there who wished those flamboyant memory cards were still a thing.
