Yeah it is. It’s like playing Halo if they made it in the mid 90’s. Still holds up super well too. The Pippin def ISNT the way to play it haha...but for the charm factor it’s entertaining

from the team that would go on to make Cubivore!

That seems like a good game to play on drugs.

Would probably be great after a joint but I can’t smoke that shit...I fall asleep legit in under 5 minutes.

 

[awbacon1]

don’t believe the internet when you read the Pippin has no good games. I wouldn’t rush out and buy one thinking it has a hidden gem library stacked deep either but...stuff like Gundam Tactics is solid fun!

Are you sure it's a prototype? Yours have markings.

Def. the markings are stickers, the labels under denote prototype, and the rom inside is a developers rom

That's good to know, I had one with no stickers at all and an extra port at the back IIRC. I thought the lack of markings/stickers was an indication of a prototype.

sorry, I know nothing about Pippin software

They have a few prototype units. Black box that looks like a dvd player, the Pippin shape with the extra SCSI port, and the one I have with stickers and a non-standard prototype ram expansion / rom inside. I think mine is the furthest along in development for being a prototype

 

[Apocalypse]

the Pippin shape with the extra SCSI port

Thanks, that's the one I owned.
