Fun fact: in Japan there was a WebTV client for the Dreamcast [0]. The very first “Dreamcast” I saw was a Katana dev kit at a WebTV office.

oh that is super cool! Yeah, Microsoft did the OS for Dreamcast so I guess it makes sense that there could have been an attempt to port the WebTV experience to the console. Also, this sent me down a rabbit hole that makes me want to try to get a broadband adapter for my Dreamcast, as dumb as that would be, so thank you for this, but also f-you (affectionate -- I'm genuinely thankful to remember the fun I had as a young teenager with the most underrated video game console of all time).
