Apple computers Video Game Console!

Watch out Xbox!
We have the Apple Pippin! (pippin is a type of apple)




I\'m getting this little wonder!

are you joking? this came out like 7 years ago. It bombed without hesitation. You know, the Virtual Boy type of bomb.

Good luck finding one, I am interested in picking one up for my collection.

Well, I dunno if it "Bombed". It was a little slow comming outta the gate, but I think it\'s starting to pick up some real momentum now. I heard they\'ve even signed 5 developers!

It\'s cool that they put a trackball on the controller (positioning is a bit screwed, but at least it\'s there). I\'d like to have seen all the consoles in this generation have those, expecially with all the FPS\'s that have been comming out. Maybe Sony, Nintnedo, and MS will wisen up next gen and add them on?

first of all i think it would sell more if they called it the apple pimpin and second of all i have had a virtual boy for 3 years now and it kicks ass the only reason people didnt buy it is because it gave babies seisures

I just bought a Virtual Boy with 10 games..

Personally, I think there was a few reasons no one ever bought it...

1: It can induce headaches. I personally cannot play it over 20 mintues without getting a massive headache. Nor can my friends.

2: It is far from portable. The system was marketed as a portable system, but lets face it.. It is not portable.

3: It was hard for Nintendo to show the true advantage of the system on paper. The \'3D effect\'. You just cannot show what the system does on paper. Due to that, when people saw pictures of a game, they only saw a black and red screenshot. Sad, but true.

4: Lack of killer titles. Sure, there was some good games for it. But there was no games that took full advantage of the system and was a stable Nintendo franchise. Can you imagine a Virtual Boy version of Metriod? Or F-ZERO? They could be amazing.

5: On a note so serious note. The controller is just scarey...

Red alarm sucked ass. My virtual boy is in the basement in a plastic box right now, and I have no intentions of digging it out. LONG LIVE NINTENDO POWER GLOVE!!!!!!

I\'ve always liked the look of the Pippin,but I\'ve always hated the controller,but I liked th built in trackball.

It\'s a shame this never cought on

>>here\'s<< a site with a few pics and specs.

Huh........?! Apple made a console? A console i never heard of? Seven years ago?

[Evi]

What does this have to do with anything? And what is it? I\'ve never seen that thing before.

its not my fault nobody else will realize how kick ass tennis is in 3d so what if it was only red i never got headaches from it and i have a friend who has atleast 20 games and hes beaten all of them

There weren\'t 20 games made for it, at least not in America.

Mario Tennis sucked. I have it. Red Alarm, sucked. I have it.
Along with Wario Land, it is alright and Telero Boxero, which is alright.


Virtual Boy was just a bad dea, stemming right after they decided to not put in a green and blue LED along with the red one.

I heard about the "pippin" a long time ago,
i thought it was dead
I hated the name, "pippin", sounds like "pippin"&"Jordan" = Bulls.
