Welcome to a thread for TRUE PIPPIN FREAKS only. I had the pleasure of being able to fiddle around with one at a convention I helped at last year. Unfortunately the only game we had for it was that Gundam strategy game which requires a lot of reading Japanese that I don't know how to do. I didn't get a ton of time to mess around with it, but let's just say if I won $10 million in the lottery, the twelfth thing I would buy might be an Apple/Atmark Pippin, so we would never be separated again B)

We were running a little game museum and on the wall pictured below, we had a "failed consoles museum" with things like the Phillips CD-I, Virtual Boy, 3DO, etc., set up for people to play.

But man is that hardware fascinating. It's literally just an Apple computer with a different boot sequence lol. You can hear the proverbial gears of QuickTime grinding away to play some short little videos.

Anyone else been in the awesome presence of a Pippin before? Please remember that you can only respond here if you're an ABSOLUTE PIPPIN ANIMAL.
