I have an internet gem for you today what you're about to watch is a real
commercial it is for Apple's only ever gaming console the Pippen
atmark like what the was that to say
this was a dark time for would be an understatement Apple including this
product was not very successful under CEO Michael Spindler but you can't say
the Pippen didn't contain innovations that were way ahead of its time the ntsc
pal switch on the back eliminated region locking its games could be run in a Mac
desktop computer its included modem allowed browsing in the living room its
operating system could be upgraded on the fly it could run a standard
full-size keyboard natively and it wasn't just about gaming no it was a
play to take over the big screen in the living room as a whole and I got one and
a game time for a glorious retro Tech
video I need to go find
lonus the white dark Bas Pro 900 from be
quiet features a modular design to support a variety of layouts and conf
configurations check it out at the link below to start the insanity off and
remember while I say this this was a real policy while marketing the Pippen
Apple stated that they were not allowed to use the term computer even though the
Pippen was manufactured by mitsubichi yes that Mitsubishi and licensed to
Bandai yes that Bandai under Apple's Mac
clone initiative and yes Mac like
computer and being able to call it one might have even helped overcome the
astonishing $600 price tag because for
the time it was even a pretty banging one featuring a Motorola power PC 603
running at 63 MHz 6 megabytes of shared
memory 128 kilobytes of Envy RAM and an
expansion Bay to put this price into context of a game console instead of a
computer a PlayStation 1 launched at $299 the PlayStation 2 launched at again
$299 4 years later however that to put
that price into perspective the Pippen was over 900 us today when adjusted for
inflation yo dog want to check this
out let's we got this is the atmark a
console by Apple a console by Apple
yeah cool where's your CRT I'm hook it
up you know what year it is bro right don't worry about it uh jump on three 1
2 3 it works okay we landed in a '90s
living room so convenient this is
fantastic I don't think you're going to get much from that no no I got this
something something something CD ROM something something 64 for sale and use
in Japan only
uh okay all right you sourced this thing do the
honors okay isn't surprising have you have you
even had this open literally never yeah
who keeps such an old theoretically it's never been
open really yeah it just wasn't in its
shrink wrap anymore 20-year-old
seals I'm having the ultimate Canadian experience destroying seals in the
door you know what there's some English here not much I'm assuming this is for
extended warranty there's like some forms you can fill out an envelope we
sent it cuz like Bandai still exists look at this everything still
sealed here's the modem oh glorious
there's your telephone line there's that nice long telephone cord cuz uh who
would have a phone jack right next to their TV that's the Apple Jack the Apple
Jack so this controller is ridiculous the irony being
that in the 1990s Apple Jack cereal did exist Kell
Apple Jack cereal is part of this complete breakfast we eat what we like
so Apple jacked the
name it's got a ball Mouse yeah that's
so it's like you have left and right click and a ball Mouse how are they
expecting you to reach these buttons like this middle one it's like exactly
Out Of Reach for both of my thumbs this
is not very ergonomic no it's a very
weird controller so this is the six dis
kit that comes with it internet kit in
all caps uh Frankie online and then at
Mark town in all caps is at marktown a game I don't even
know it must be so we have two games to play maybe yeah okay dope okay a conso
yeah okay it's heavy oh jeez how much
did we pay for this um give it to me straight I think
including the game it was probably both 500
bucks hey man uh this better be the most Revolution gaming experience adjusted
for inflation it is $900 so I got a pretty good deal it's like five $400 off
all right okay let's just if you wanted it to be a desk computer that's not a
bad feature to have headphone out on the front oh so this is cool so it's
actually a toggle switch so you can go
VGA ntsc via composite or Pal via S
video okay um hold on oh I believe this
is an expansion Port down here so that
back when Apple believed in expandability for their
devices what is that is that a a PC IE
slot so we'll tag team this I'll find cables you plug them in sounds good all
right I can feel the static from this TV just like attacking my
head yep no just kidding it doesn't make that
noise probably oh it didn't turn on yeah
okay I tried another one good yeah
um press and hold there we go
okay that was scary it's like 20 years old man the double-edged sword of buying
things that are still sealed yeah oh oh
it's delightful go for it man all right at Mark
toown uh do you just have to no okay so
we have to like fully boot the computer every time that we try to change
something oh my goodness oh my
goodness there we go oh no what uh a oh it's probably like a
social network so Apple again years
ahead of the game always on online
activation okay yeah Gundam tactics
Mobility Fleet
0079 there it is I'm pretty excited actually it is in perfect condition this
game Saw very little use so this game
also cost almost as much as the console what the total was like 500 I think the
console was like 300 and this was like 200 it's okay the game will load in a
few minutes you know I've explain this to the viewers but maybe it's worth
explaining to you expensing
purchases is not magic you still have to
earn the
money all right this is looking more
promising okay let's get let's let's play all right
okay terrible oh man look at those
Graphics the audio so good do you have to sit through
this no okay it's in English oh wow also
last time you select with the mouse you
don't use the controller at all yeah look at that and it makes sense because
a lot of these were just ports so start new game
yeah uh left click left click uh I guess we're
Pi a faction I'm going with the
world okay so any hopes that I had about
the game being in English have been dashed now no subtitles either that's
okay I'm going to come up with something for it the universe is in Peril and only
the Gundam tactics Mobility Fleet 0079 can save them it's going to totally
wreck that City but those Graphics are too difficult to render so wow I don't
know who I'm rooting for right now Luke you're up bro okay do let's do this okay
what I think I'm going to try Ms I'm going to carry the middle one oh I think
you already have all of them yeah and that's probably confirm perfect okay let's just move our
way over then this one crew
crew crap this is probably like a mission explanation ah here's a big rock
what do okay that yeah that's exit exit hey big problem so we're being deployed
against this ship and those three
platform things I think we'll just go for a solid
start oh timer's going
up okay wait you clicked and it stopped
yeah if I do anything it stops oh
there's more menus you probably like let
the game sort of happen and then go in here and like manage your ship great
game this is not game so far okay I'm
deploying Pilots you pick different Pilots yeah done so now we've deployed
three suits oh my can you select them now
nope I mean
oh the timer stops when the things on screen move
maybe try moving them with that that's that just moves the screen I'm so bored
right now the system cost us $900 you have to enjoy
it does he move now yeah
no this button this is a really tedious
game very let me give new orders to this
guy you're actually playing now aren't you yeah this is the best game that's
ever made for the Pippen should we move up
towards their Gundam one of those buttons will be move and
one of them will be attack we're getting better okay now I'm playing zero deaths
dang it zero deaths oh I'm pretty sure he's better
than us no I think anytime anything gets
close they they engage once oh
jeez tell my family I never liked them
okay so the dude's actually starting to die
he's starting to Auto move away I think that's what he said I'm retreating now
I'm tired no don't go home now I am very sleepy and out of oxygen I must rest
didn't pause the game that's okay only one more one more shot yeah we got one one more shot this is
it yes oh my goodness no deaths I think we
need a bridge crew is what we need that's got to be how you move the big
ship I think when we get there it's actually going to be a big
wait what oh our Gundam is attacking the big ship it did a fair amount of damage
I love that the uh the weight icon is the Little Apple watch I feel like I've
been playing this game for a little eternity long time we're probably
supposed to intercept and destroy the platforms or something see there's only
two oh one's gone like are we the [ __ ] here are
we just beating up on a no
oh okay oh jeez
oh wow whoa accelerate to ramming speed uh-oh
maybe we're going to fight nope maybe we need to use this one maybe
this is like combat sure try it they were different oh oh I have no idea we
did it
though who
why did it do damage to a completely different bar those are probably Shields
he's one Hull shot away from death and one Shield shot away from I don't know
done I think that might have just won
it yes something sad I I died and I brought
dishonor to my family that's probably not far off and the others will get you
are we done yeah I'm I'm super done
