The Dreamcast[a] is a home video game console developed and sold by Sega, first released in November 1998. All licensed games for the Dreamcast were released on the GD-ROM format, a proprietary CD-based optical disc format jointly developed by Sega and Yamaha Corporation that is capable of storing up to 1 GB of data.[1] Following the hardware's discontinuation, software largely trickled to a stop by 2002,[2][3] though the Dreamcast's final licensed game on GD-ROM was Karous in 2007.[2][4][5] For a list of cancelled games, see list of cancelled Dreamcast games.
