That is, stuff that's still around thanks to some creative, dedicated, and frankly resourceful people!
Dreamcast
Homebrew, specifically. In short, the copy protection was easily thwarted and yadda yadda yadda it's real easy to create a community around getting games on the Dreamcast! IMO it's such good hardware so ahead of it's time and I'm so grateful it lives!
Satellaview
But personally, my favorite thing has been The Satellaview. The concept is incredibly cool to me! Games and news beamed directly to your console. Listen, it's old hat now but revolutionary in the mid-90s. It's been resurrected as its revival service "Satellaview+."
Radical Dreamers, one of my favorite games, was originally a Satellaview joint.

And those are the two that immediately come to mind, but I know there's more! Tell us about them!
