A very obscure accessory this time. The Official Sega Dreamcast Modular Extension Cable!

Being the first console designed especially with online connectivity in mind, it was important to be able to run a phone cable to the Dreamcast over longer distances.

"It's not just a TV-game, but a PDA"!
A rectangular white box, the top third of which has a clear plastic window through which to see the contents. Visible through the window are many coiled strands of a white cable wrapped around a box-like terminal. There is a blue sticker in a white circle on the window with the word "NEW" in Japanese and English. The lower portion of the box has a simple diagram of the cable's two ends in thin black lines and the word "Dreamcast" in orange going vertically down the box. Above the diagram is the text: "Dreamcast Modular Extension Cable (in English and Japanese) Dreamcast will take you to a brand new world. It's not just a TV-game but a PDA. Network system and a whole lot more. A new level of entertainment awaits you. HKT-8200" The back of the box which is white and features a diagram of the cable and a Dreamcast, illustrating how to attach the cable to extend reach. Above the diagram is this text: "HKT-8200 Thank you very much for purchasing the modular extension cable. Before using the product, please read this package and the "For Your Safety" and instruction manual that come with the Dreamcast console carefully and make sure you understand the contents before using the product. After reading the package, please keep it near the product so that you can refer to it at any time."

A retail promotional canvas for the North American Sega Dreamcast launch. The canvas measures 90cm × 60cm and has rods sewn in at the top and bottom. The image is the same on either side.
Canvas promotional banner with the North American Sega Dreamcast trade dress of a white bar along the left side with a concave indentation, a small right-facing orange triangle in the center of the concavity, and the SEGA™ logo at the bottom. The rest of the banner contains text at the top: "Sega [orange swirl logo] Dreamcast IT'S THINKING." To the lower left of that text is a triangle with a blue gradient background, inside of which is the following text: "The Most POWERFUL GAMING Machine!". At the bottom of the banner is the diagonally skewed image of a white Sega Dreamcast bathed in orange light. Screenshots of the following games are arranged in clockwise order arching over the Dreamcast: Flag To Flag, Virtua Fighter 3tb, Sonic Adventure, NFL2K. The bottom right corner contains the following text: "sega.com".

The first image here is a black & white press sheet hyping up the game. The second is full colour and relays some more detailed specs along with gameplay screenshots.

This is a press kit for Sega Sports' NHL2K on the Sega Dreamcast (slightly dinged on the one corner). Inside is a number of items including a sticker and small poster (not pictured) and this VHS tape and branded hockey stick-shaped pen.
A cardboard box with a dented in right bottom corner, with an image of a hockey player wearing a Detroit Red Wings uniform and carrying a hockey stick on a green monochromatic backfield in which can be seen another hockey player's face, in softer focus. Centered across the hockey player's midsection is a large logo reading "NHL 2K", with a slightly smaller "Sega Sports" logo at the top left of it. The very top of the box is captioned "The powerplay begins...". The very bottom of the box depicts the Sega logo on the left, and the NHLPA, NHL, and ESRB Rating Pending logos on the right. The inside of the box, which has a green cardboard tray marked with red lines that evoke those on a hockey rink's ice. An indentation at the top holds a VHS tape labeled with the Sega Dreamcast logo and a rearrangement of the visual elements from the front of the box. The lower portion of the box contains a clear plastic bag which appears to be affixed to the tray by a white square slighty right of center. In this bag is a pen in the shape of a hockey stick, with faux woodgrain and the words "SEGA SPORTS™ - NHL2K" printed on the handle.

Obviously wouldn't synergize with the current worldbuilding under way, but I would love to see an anthology of the tales in the Super-Star Holiday Special (including Paul Levitz' most reprinted story ever in his Legion of Super-Heroes contribution) or, more realistically, something along that vein.
Cover to DC Special Series V1 #21 (DC Super-Star Holiday Special) (1980). Features Batman & Sgt. Rock in the foreground, with Jonah Hex on a white horse and Cain & Abel riding a pack-laden camel in the midfield, with Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes (Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Wildfire, Phantom Girl) and Mordred of The Three Witches in the sky, all focused on and angling toward a bright star in the night sky. Text at the bottom reads: "JOIN THE WORLD'S GREATEST HEROES IN QUEST OF A DREAM!".

A simple one today (because I'm exhausted):

This is a briefcase-style document carrier with Sega Dreamcast™ branding. It was used to hold marketing for the Dreamcast at the 1999 E3 launch. It's made of a sturdy cardboard with plastic handle and latch. Unfortunately, I don't have the promo material.
A briefcase-like container made of black cardboard, with a plastic handle at the top and a flap over the front which is secured by a plastic latch. On the flap is the Sega Dreamcast™ logo complete with orange swirl between the two words. The back of the black container, with the SEGA logo in blue and white centered.

The pocket multi-tool comes in a black case with a Velcro closure and a belt loop, with this tag attached at the bottom.

I believe this item was acquired at E3 1998 where Microsoft and Sega were presenting together, but I'm not absolutely certain! So anyone with more definitive info, please share.
A close-up of a round silver tag that is attached to a black woven nylon case. The tag is etched with the Sega Dreamcast swirl in black, beneath which is the stylized word "Dreamcast™". A close-up of the back of the round sliver tag attached to the black woven nylon case. The tag is etched with the words "Powered by", underneath which is a Windows logo in a black circle, further followed underneath with the words "Microsoft® Windows® CE" all in black. A black woven nylon case on a white background. The case is about 20cm high and 7cm wide, with a belt loop visibly affixed to the side facing us. At the bottom of the case is attached a round sliver tag upon which is etched the Sega Dreamcast logo. A view of the silver multi-tool on a white background, with all tools and gadgets tucked in and ready to fit into a carrying case.

Time to revisit another obscure Sega Dreamcast promotional item!

This one is a pocket multi-tool co-branded with Microsoft® Windows®CE and Sega Dreamcast.
A silver-coloured pocket multi-tool with several tools extended on a white background. Visible are: pliers, wire cutters, flat and Phillips-head screwdrivers, can opener, saw, file, knife, and pick. A close up of the silver-coloured multi-tool, revealing that it is etched with the words "TOOLS TO RULE" within an etched rectangular box, and beneath the box is a line of etched text reading: Microsoft® Windows® CE / Sega Dreamcast ™".

With the anniversary of the Sega Dreamcast release date at hand (November 27, 1998) it seems timely to share quirky and unique Dreamcast promotional items.

This for example is a Sega Dreamcast 1999 Calendar — using an appropriately unconventional method of displaying the days in a continuous strip!
A rolled-up strip of shiny silver material held together with a transparent plastic clip, on a white background. The SEGA™ logo is visible on it, along with the words "1999" and "CALENDAR". Portions of the orange Dreamcast swirl and the end of the Dreamcast text logo are visible on the periphery.
