A collector can get big figures for this prototype. Just comes down to it.

Shoot me if i'm wrong, but I believe it did in Japan, and why didn't it get released? Because that really was too far ahead of time, even the Dreamcast struggled back in the 56k days and 10p a minute phone bill, who remembers getting a huge ass phone bill from Chu Chu Rocket? I DO!SonicFan wrote:Saturn didn't have internet. I don't know why, though.
Japan had a pay-to-play service with Netlink; which went into the cartridge slot of the Japan Saturn models. It allowed them to connect through a service called SEGANet, which would then be used for the Dreamcast I believe.p_nut_uk wrote:Shoot me if i'm wrong, but I believe it did in Japan, and why didn't it get released?

Actually the 1st console that played CD games was the PC Engine CD-ROM/TurboGrafx-CD then a few years later Sega released the Mega CD/Sega CDQuills on Wheels wrote:Quite frankly, honestly, I feel like SEGA was ahead of its time for quite a while back in the days.
Wasn't the Sega CD one of the first consoles to actually feature CDs instead of cartridges?
Yeah pretty much. So much ingenuity SEGA had back in the day.Atrias wrote:TCB, yeah I was going to say about the plug-in net-link... technically even the MegaDrive \ Genesis had limited online infrastructure (provided by cable television connections) that allowed some of the Games on Demand functionality that we experience these days (link). Truly Sega was ahead of its time.
A PC? Or is it actually a home console with a PC stuck into its name.xboy_in_da_house wrote:Actually the 1st console that played CD games was the PC Engine CD-ROM/TurboGrafx-CD then a few years later Sega released the Mega CD/Sega CD
The PC Engine was the Japanese name for the TurboGrafx. A console created as a joint venture by Hudson Soft & NEC.Quills on Wheels wrote:A PC? Or is it actually a home console with a PC stuck into its name.
