Your past two videos relating to WebTV have been extremely entertaining! Keep up the good work! 😊

Guess What? It Still works thanks to Matt Man who did the possible with a DreamPi.

In the UK we had something called Dreamarena, then they sent a free update disc which let you use any ISP after they discontinued the Dreamcast.

I'm not sure how I ended up on a video with Jeff Goldblum telling me about old internet tech but I'm cool with it.

It’s strange how advanced WebTV is compared to smart TV’s today, mine can’t even browse the internet.

WebTV is pretty much an Android Box before Android even a thing... Because I remember somewhere they say that the developers of WebTV later go on to also help on developing the base for Android Even without the Connection, for me at least on how it operates, it does feels like those very VERY Early Android devices,

5:40 Of course the Japanese version have a "Karaoke Machine" functionality available for it I can't think of anything more Japanese to add in it besides the ability to spawn a Cassette Stove and a Yakiniku Girdle or a Shabu-shabu hotpot on demand

Wow, this channel never runs out of surprises.

I'm really a huge fan of SEGA dreamcast console! thanks for showing us some dreamcast contents that I didn't know before!!

Never knew about that, thank you for letting us know and show us this awesome retrospective. ❤❤❤

When it pops up saying "Microsoft WebTV", the sound reminds me of when Sonic gets a Chaos emerald in Sonic Spinball.

This channel is an absolute gem!

loving the new webtv content!

Awesome video, Michael!

This type of concept is really interesting probably because this is instead WebTV on a console ON A TV. Which is funny, because WebTV is already something for a TV, but this makes it 2x weirder because it’s on a Console and then a TV.

Did not even know this was a thing. Very cool!

Nice collab with your last video!

Had the Phillips Magnavox WebTV box growing up. Picked this disc up at a Book Off in Tokyo recently. Worth the $10 just to navigate the offline mode and hear the familiar tones and jingles.

Japanese people love travelling to Alaska for its acclaimed Italian food, specifically pasta.

I grew up using webtv. Good stuff

Ooh cool video

i love Dreamcast ❤️ my best thank you for this the first i see

New video! Yes

very interesting. I have a sealed copy from way back 2002. :)

Same thing but running on a game device… this preceded Microsoft’s own XBox! You can see where all that originated. WebTV wasn’t an only US Internet service in the beginning. It also debuted in Japan.

nope it did not. the xbox was released along with the ps2, dreamcast, and gamecube. although if you mean that webtv preceded xbox, yeah thats correct.

Nice video on this. Sadly, I couldn't find anything useful about the original Japanese disc. It's not even saved to the Web Archive of TOSEC's complete multiple Dreamcast game collections. Seven or so, I think. Anyways, I heard something neat happens if you put the Japanese disc you own into a CD player. Not the translated one, the original Japanese disc you have. In a future video, could you put the Japanese disc into a CD player, play track two, then see what happens? Sorry, but thanks, anyways.

Does the MIDI player work on the Dreamcast version?

I'm surprised that both WebTV and Sega's Dreamcast games made with Windows CE are one of the things that led to Original XBOX console. Comment's Fact: According to the XBOX 20th Anniversary documentary; WebTV/Windows CE team and DirectX team were in board meeting with Bill Gates on which team should be working on the console. In the end of meeting;Bill Gates sided with the DirectX team and gave Otto Berkes's permission to make a console which led to that console I mentioned.

you know that webtv box the website you made it works on other devices

I would lile the iso for the English translated web tv please. I do own a dreampi

(15:41) I think it would've originally shown instructions for navigating using a Dreamcast controller, but the files for that version of the page were likely not present, and the custom server admins likely used the page intended for one of the Sony WebTV terminals instead.
