Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2004 7:42 pm
In Japan, the original white and light grey Dreamcast was released first,
with an orange swirl logo on the case and the accessories. Quite a few
special editions have also been released. Here is a list in chronological
order:
Mazyora: The first special edition was the 'Mazyora' which was dark purple
and came complete with a purple controller.
Seaman 1: The second special edition was a white skeleton version (ie
transparent plastic) released with the game 'Seaman', the microphone
peripheral, a transparent VMS and a music CD.
Hello Kitty 1 and 2: One transparent pink, the other transparent blue, these
editions include a pink or purple controller, VMS, keyboard and the Hello
Kitty Dream Passport software.
Seaman 2: The Christmas Seaman Dreamcast is entirely red, and comes with a
VMS and controller, both the same colour as the console. Included is a
special communication package which allows you to send voice messages (using
the Dreamcast microphone) over the net. There's a silhouette picture of
Seaman on the drive lid too.
Code Veronica 1 and 2: To celebrate the Japanese release of Capcom's
successful series 'Resident Evil' on the Dreamcast, two specials machines
were released. One is transparent dark purple, with a S.T.A.R.S logo on the
lid, the other is transparent dark red (The 'Claire-edition'). Both have
matching controllers and a light purplish grey VMS. Of course both are
bundled with the game. (Only the top plastic cover is coloured, the bottom
piece is standard grey).
Fuji Television 'Devers 2000 Series CX-1': A combination TV/Dreamcast with
a cool design - lots of curves and colours (it's designed to look like a
Morolien from the game 'Space Channel Five'). Its light blue with little
antennae on the top and the 4 Dreamcast controller ports under the screen.
