I had one of those dedicated fishing games back in the day with a crappy LCD display and a crank. Played it to death.

The Dreamcast had a game and controller to go with it.

Ahh, the Dreamcast. I love those consoles. Recently picked up one basically new. It's archived for the grandkids, along with some 8 bit machines and a six switch Atari VCS (2600).

In a few years, we are going to revisit the golden era again, and it's going to be as fun as it was last time.

I've seen those things. Had no idea they were that engaging.
