PlanetWeb Web Browser 1.0

"Yup, the world's first review of a web browser!"

Suddenly off in the distance someone pops a cork from a bottle of champaigne. Why? Its a wonderful moment in history! Finally after 2 years someone writes a review of the Dreamcast Web Browser! Its bringing tears to my eyes just thinking about all the poor people who wanted to find out about it but were unable to! Sniff Sniff. Oh well. Lets get crackin and I will show you what makes this thing so cool.

Internet Ready? Yes

The program's newer versions can do everything from surfing to email to DOWNLOADING AND PLAYING MP3'S!!!!!! I am very impressed that the good ole Dreamcast can do this stuff. Its great because you dont have to pay anything extra besides your monthly internet fees yet you can go online and download game saves right to your VMU! Who needs dex drive? Ha ha ha! Sega is a genius!

The speed of the browser astounds me. Its soo much faster than my normal 56k modem. I have no clue why. Not only is it fast, but it supports java and flash so you dont have to worry about not getting full access. Adults will be happy to know that they can set a child lock support on it that blocks out those naughty naughty pictures they sometimes show on the net.

You can also use this browser to set up your main dreamcast internet software. After this is set up, online games such as Phantasy Star Online and Quake III will already have you totally set up for online play. It works like a charm, and im sure you would agree.

What makes this so great? The fact that you can download stuff to that rarely talked about Dreamcast Hard Drive. Like what? Well, for starters I found an emulator for Dreamcast that lets you play saturn game on DC just by downloading the software. It works, too. Those are just a few examples of this wonderful tool. It works, and it works well. What more could you ask for?

If you plan on using your dreamcast for online stuff, you will need this. Fortunately it came with your DC or you can email Sega and they will send you a free newer edition of the browser. Dont forget to get a dreamcast keyboard, or this thing will make your life a nightmare!

In the end this is the greatest thing to come to a console since the Gameboy Sewing Machine (ITS REAL TOO!) And will make a perfect addition to your dreamcast and your life!
