Apple Pippin




Posted by LHoT

Anyone heard of it/played it?




Posted by Omni

No, I have never heard of it, and I've definitely never played it. Can you maybe tell us more about it? Since you seem to know and all.

Quoting Apathetic: lol, apple will pwn the gaming. I wonder how that even did anyways.


It actually did pretty bad. As the article said, it was a flop. I wonder if it would have done better if Steve Jobs would have been on board?

Every time I see the title of this thread, I think, "Why is someone talking about making a weed pipe out of an apple in the 'other systems' board and why do they have such horrible spelling?"

I'm just glad I bothered to find out what it was really about. Never heard of it. Anyone have screen shots of... anything running on it?




Posted by TheSorrow

i have been trying to find some but all i keep finding is just pictures of the system and a few games that came out for it...i post some on here if I happen to find any screen shots of games

EDIT: heres the website where i found them at...http://web.archive.org/web/19961029232203/www.bdec.com/m-fst.html

I found a couple of screen shots from some of the games

wow, good find! As for the graphics... meh they remind me of the Sega Genesis. It doesn't look like anything spectacular. Also, by that time, Super Mario 64 had come out, so no wonder it didn't do so hot.

I've heard of it, but haven't played it. It was released the same time as the PS1/N64/Saturn and was nothing compared to them. It had online play but it ran incredibly slow, and even when it was offline it was still laggy.
