	I'm starting quite a few new threads on consoles I couldn't find whilst searching. Apple Bandai Pippin: quote Wikipedia The Pippin, known in Japan as Pippin @ (ピピンアットマーク, Pipin Attomāku?), was a multimedia platform designed by Apple Inc. (then Apple Computer Inc.) and produced by Bandai in 1995. It was based around a 66-MHz PowerPC 603 processor, a 14.4 kbit/s modem and ran a stripped version of the System 7.5.2 operating system. The goal was to create an inexpensive computer aimed mostly at playing CD-based multimedia titles, especially games, but also functioning as a network computer. It featured a 4× CD-ROM drive and a video output that could connect to a standard television monitor. The platform was named for the Newtown Pippin, an apple cultivar, a smaller and more tart relative of the McIntosh apple (which is the namesake of the Macintosh). This system was basically a Mac running Mac OS 7, although it couldn't play Mac OS computer games, it could only play Pippin games. Apple sold the rights to Bandai. The console really did horribly. The controller is so bad-ass though. I love that thing. Anyway, post Bandai Pippin stuff here.

	Pippin controller - doubles as a boomerang for those occassions where you throw it at the wall and it comes right back at you. -------------------

	Would you look at at that controller. I feel like if I threw it that it would come back to me. There's also a terrible ball-mouse thing in the middle? Oh boy.

	I've never heard of this before, nice digging Cap! The pad looks terrible but the console itself has a nice 90s charm to it. I'll have a look into the game library later and see what footage is on YouTube.

	quote Chimaira The pad looks terrible but the console itself has a nice 90s charm to it It sort of looks like a cross between the 3DO and a Dreamcast to me. I have 0 idea what games were made for the Pippin.
