Pluto Unveiled

Out of this world...

Indeed it is out of this world. You can't get it anywhere. We're talking about the SEGA Pluto, a prototype console meant to be, in short, a Saturn with internet access.

The previously unheard of console prototype is actually a revised SEGA Saturn with an enabled netlink modem. Here's a quick list of the system's specifications:

  • Dial-up (Wow!) modem for online play
  • Two controller ports
  • Flip top drive bay
  • Cartridge slot
  • Power and reset buttons
  • Weight of 2.8 kgs

SEGA really thinks ahead of its time... or so it did. We know the Dreamcast pioneered online play on a home console. But this means SEGA could've lead the way with the Saturn a few years before.

Here are a few screenshots of the prototype's looks, as shown off from an auction done by gaming marketplace site Game Gavel. This is one out of two working prototypes; it's actually prototype number 2, a region locked USA NTSC model.

Seems that, as the years go by, we keep digging out new pieces of SEGA history!
