Thanks for the info. It is great to see others continuing to support the
systems of yesterday. We would definitely like to get into the Dreamcast
market, but we need to move slowly. It has taken a very sizable investment
to develop new wireless controllers for NES/SNES. If we can break even you
can bet we will be supporting Dreamcast. It is one of my favorite systems.
Let's keep in touch.

I subscribe to GameInformer. I normally don't do magazine subscriptions, because I can get all the same info for free online. However, it was like ten bucks, and came with a 10-month discount card for GameStop.
In the most recent issue, they had an article about a new LA-based company called Messiah ( http://www.playmessiah.com ) which is bringing out new accessories for classic consoles. Their initial lineup includes NES and SNES wireless gamepads, and AV & power cords for said systems. They also have wireless Genesis pads and a wireless NES Advantage in the works.
I've taken the liberty of writing to these folks, explaining a little about the DC fanbase and expressing interest in bringing out accessories such as wireless controllers and light guns for our beloved Dreamcast. May or may not lead anywhere, but based on the goals of this particular company, it at least stands a chanes.
So if anyone else wants to try to mount an organized campaign (POLITE and PROFESSIONAL are key in trying to get a company to do something!!!), it might help us see new incarnations of some of the more "sought-after" peripherals...perhaps even a few things we may not have even thought of before.
