From The Minnesota Star Tribune:
Tom Johnson was a teenaged congressional intern in the summer of 2007 when he was sitting in the Mankato office of U.S. Rep. Tim Walz. The newly elected congressman, Johnson recalled, walked in carrying a box that held a gray-and-orange video game system, with two controllers.
“He was like, ‘Hey, if you guys are interested in this, you can use it, otherwise I’m just going to give it away,’” Johnson recalled.
Inside the disc drive, Johnson found the Dreamcast’s signature game, “Crazy Taxi.” He brought the console home and played it with his college roommate Alex Gaterud, who had the future Minnesota governor and vice presidential candidate as his 11th-grade geography teacher at Mankato West High School.
The main reason that I believe that he didn’t play Jet Grind Radio is that, if he had, he wouldn’t have given his Dreamcast away.Report
