Existing in the Same Century


Fun Fact: The last Sega console and the last dynasty of the Chinese monarchy both existed in the same century. In fact, the Qing Dynasty collapsed in 1912, while the Sega Dreamcast was released in Japan at the end of November 1998.

It's crazy to think about historical events that happened within the same century. For example, the 20th Century witnessed the commissioning of the 1906 version of HMS Dreadnought and the commissioning of the first Arleigh Burke-class destroyer within the same century. However, we must remember that within less than 100 years, we went from not being able to fly to the very last Sega console, the Dreamcast, launching in North America.

On a side note, Happy 25th Anniversary, Sega Dreamcast!
