There were two (firmware?) releases of the Dreamcast keyboard. The first release would allow TWO KEYBOARDS to be used with the game. The later release keyboard would only allow a single keyboard to be active at a time. It was a lot of fun yelling at your teammate to type faster, which of course made both players more flustered and do poorly.
Comment on I can't understand why it never caught on...
bassomitron@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoI definitely had a keyboard for my Dreamcast. It was my first internet enabled console, as well as my first exposure to online gaming with strangers (previously I had only done direct TCP/IP connections with friends on games like Diablo 1 and Starcraft). Phantasy Star Online was so damn addictive.

Damn this brings me back. Had some great modem games of the original GTA with my friend.

I can still remember typing and leveling on mine in PSO, great times with my chainsaw sword.
