Apple Pippin - Fifth VideoGame Generation Recap - Adam Koralik 

THE CONTROLLER LOOKS LIKE THE ORIGINAL PS3 PROTOTYPE CONTROLLER REMEMBER?

The CPU was comparable to a PS1 but without a dedicated 3D engine, this thing was dead on arrival.

I remember seeing one of these on display at the Boston MacWorld convention. It had an external keyboard attached, and the keyboard had a key marked "retrun".

I remember reading about Jobs' return to Apple in 1997. He was probably one of the only CEO's who could actually get an entire company to willingly resign. He went through the Apple product line like a razor. Roughly 70% of the company's product line was done away with completely. It was hilarious when the other company executives tried to explain the Mac lineup to him. He couldn't understand the differences between all the different machines. He finally got fed up and went to a whiteboard and drew four squares, specifying that the company would focus on four products which were desktops and laptops, each with a consumer model and a pro model. Within a few minutes, he figured out something that took the company and several CEO's years to figure out.

Growing up I knew a kid that had one of these, but he never let me play it, as though he was embarrassed by it or something. Watching this...yeah, maybe he had a good reason.

Fun little mini fact Jobs and another persin made Breakout well the guy programmed it while Jobs did the art for it and they did it within a very short time frame

Steve Jobs was only ever a spokesman for the Apple machine, Steve Woznack was the true creator of the Apple Machine.

The Real "unicorn" of game consoles would be the black, european version, though. Not the american. The black version from europe was never sold to the public and only shipped a few hundred before steve jobs killed it. There is an apple museum in europe now and even they dont own the black version (yet), because its so crazy rare and expensive.

Goddd, that thing was really released?!?! I remember hearing or reading about this thing coming out, but I didn't know it actually came out. Nice job on getting one. Awesome

Theres another really cool Pippin game out there called Super Marathon. It was developed by Bungie and is considered the precursor to Halo. Only console it was released on was the Pippin. (For... some reason?)

How did you stand the controller up are you a wizard?

That short intro you have is so relaxing

I love learning the history behind these strange consoles. As always thanks for the great and entertaining content.

That music CD menu looks like a less-cool version of the Sega Saturn music CD menu.

I don’t think Adam has pants on when recording these videos

They should have ported slam city with Scotty "pippen" to the Apple Pippin..🤣🤣

"What defines a console of being good" I think is an awesome subject!

Apple Pippin: Mythological

Steve Jobs was an Atari employee before he and Woz started apple, he's the reason Woz created Breakout for Atari. Jobs was fired from Apple in 85 or 86, he went on to found NeXT(weird capitalization was popular back then).

I think it's funny how much Steve Jobs avoided games later in his career when he and Steve Wozniak programmed such an iconic game as Atari's Breakout. Great video Adam.
