And I loved the Dreamcast controller - well, the idea, if not the
gigantic implementation. :)
The little LCD screen on the memory units was so underutilized. It was
great in NFL 2k1 - you could call plays from there and not clue in your
opponent. I imagine a next-generation version of that would have a
higher-res, color screen with similar functionality.
