Sega Swirl online?

Post#1 » Wed Dec 10, 2014 4:17 pm

Hello everyone, i just had a quick question for the community, on dreamcast.onlineconsoles.com it claims that Sega Swirl is online, Is that true? and is there anyone that would like to do that with me sometime? (Assuming that's still online) :D Thanks!

It is play by e-mail only. I'm not too interested in playing it but I'm sure someone here will be. :)

I was wondering about this myself. If it is indeed still working I'd like to see a forum for it. Impulse? :)

I'll play the game with you. Would be a great excuse to use a dreamcast web browser in 2015.

It should work if both players have access to the correct POP3 SMTP info for email accounts.

The problem with Sega Swirl is that it requires each player to have an email account set up in the web browser and most email services nowadays require authentication for outgoing mail which is not supported by the web browsers on the Dreamcast. I was looking for an email service that would work a while back but had no luck.

While i was tampering with Sega Swirl email challenge, it just gave me this email out of no where: ([email protected])

Do you know what that is for? Do you get something different?

That email address is from the previous owner of the Dreamcast. Mindspring doesn't exist anymore so it's not going to work.
