Apple's First Gaming Console - Unboxing the Pippin

It was a nice balance of parodic, hindsight jabs at the console's primitive design and what genuine excitement could've existed for this console at the time.

Was this legit? I'm not sure.

LOL. I never knew about this!
Now when I hear about Apple slamming other REAL gaming companies, I'll know that they're just bitter.

Use the masterthread please.

What's sad is I own one... : (

There is no master thread. I did a search. This thread is not a duplicate. There's threads about a potential Apple console (one other than this made by me), but not specifically about the Pippin. Please don't close it.

OMG!! This is totally gonna pwn the wii u!!
Easily connect to color tv?
Resolution of 640 by 480?
Blazing 28.8 kb internet connection??!

Wait, something's a little off here.......

Everybody: raise your hand if you had internet at home in 1996.

Thought so.

1st of all, this was from the 90s
2nd of all, it actually only got 14.4 kb/s speed apparently.

Well I was very young at the time. But we did have internet around like 1999, it probably wasn't much better at that point though.

it was released on 1996
it is so expensive (at the time) $599 US
42000 sales
