Apple's 1996 Game Console: Unboxing the Pippin

[The2whyte]

nintendo in the back ground, gotta give mad respect for that!!!!

[CookieMurderer123]

VERY UGLY 

[kevenzz]

this is like a fake old video? they're acting like it's a brand new marchine? oh well anyway..... I never heard of the pippin before so it's interesting.

[jvilla1983]

"A modem connector so you can connect to the 'internets'"

[xmagicxx01]

The Machine Empire ,Playskool Puzzles ,Racing Days

,Super Marathon ,Terror T.R.A.X. and TV Works

[isayzhitl]

how old is this video?????

[leonkennedy4011]

what I dont get is why they used such ugly colors and plastic back then cost of material maybe? now its all about the black and shiny look

[okiedouk]

Email and phone at the same time, centipede ?!? °O°

[Wilzehagawa]

IGN douchery spans 2 decades why am I not surprised lol.

[OptimusJohn8a]

¡¿640 by 480 ?! LOL that was the high resolution in that years

[angelonebros2]

Still better than the wii........

[MrYdog101]

Just like xbox

[SomeFluffer64]

IGN criticizing an Apple product? The world is going to end!

[1superalex]

It wasn't too bad for its day but iOS is a better gaming platform by Apple.

[TNDGAlcatraz]

@1superalex It lost to the atari jaguar...

[daydayANDcraig]

My 360 will kill that shit.

[clh3130]

i hate advertisements. but i hate it even more when advertisements freeze. i typed all of this when it froze.

[SpeedyCXLIX]

Who thinks Apple or Sega should give another go at making a game console?

[ZunaZurugi]

@SpeedyCXLIX The Sega Consoles was ok, and i think The Dreamcast was an Awesome Console, the Apple Console Just Sucks ._."

[UglyCasing]

@SpeedyCXLIX Sega more so,but definitely not apple,they had their chance

[FragBashers]

@SpeedyCXLIX they both should, apple would be able to make an awesome console, not to mention that the iTV they're supposedly working on could have it built in (the 1st model is just an oled tv with an apple tv built in pretty much but model 2 could have a gaming device built in)

[TheSyrupCompany]

@SpeedyCXLIX Apple has given another, and safer go at the gaming market with the iPhone and iPod devices.

[SerbianSmurf]

IS THAT A TRACKBALL??? thats crazzzzzzyyyyyyyyyy

[blackjak26]

this whole video is FUCKING STUPID.

[K1W1MAT]

In another 15 years, this will be like looking at the ps3 or xbox360

[POKEMONMASTER260]

@K1W1MAT Except people of now like the PS3 & XBOX 360. No one ever liked the Pippin, I believe...

[LS1JDB]

@K1W1MAT both

[CrazeSniper]

1:30 lol back when e-mail was a new word, and ppl didn't know how to pronounce it yet.....EEEE-mails

[cutiemay36]

I dont understand why it was a failureit sounds grea

[swedengecko]

[blizzardtube11]

[HerrGubba]

[Designandrew]

@Balint2424242 mate the first successful home console was the Atari 2600 in 1977. Go read wikipedia.

[GabXriel8]

[failboyisinthehouse]

I want to tell you about a console i tested today ....... It fuckins sucks :DD

[pbrocker56]

@iskate7881 I know, I meant that some people don't get that this was a real piece of hardware, and these guys from IGN are just doing a "flashback" unboxing, for entertainment. It's a joke that they made video and are calling Pippin "revolutionary" and all that. That's the joke.

[GERAEffectsTutorials]

minecraft has too high graphics for this peace of shit

[Eneru89]

i have that copy of IGN64!!!

[JustinUSA]

That was awesome! Good job guys and thanks for the flashbacks!!!

[TheActionst1]

the controller looks exactly like xboxs 360!!!first was the keyboard layout,now the game controller...way to go microsoft...

[aRockTheCasbah]

when does this come out?

[reid6190]

@aRockTheCasbah  dude this is from like 1900

[hempheadfor20]

haha...shoulda called it the pimppin.

[igorbog88]

The funny thing is that the resolution is pretty much what xbawx360 and the ps tripple output at.

[mastermachete909]

Give me back my flannel.....

[csummer1000]

lololol no he didn't say "hook i up to the internets" lolol

[x6twink9x]

that console was like the 3do and the sega cd put together. priceyness and young technology

[slayer3slipknot]

Wow a blazing fast 28.8 KBPS damn it must of sucked back then hah the PS1 killed everything in its time including that piece of shit by apple

[stooge389]

how many people actually went to the website?

[XxRusty96xX]

Even this console sucked monkey balls, I have to say, that is the sexist video game controller I've EVER seen. Props to Apple on that.

[crocodile2006]

Stuff taking it out of the box.... thats probably worth a trillion bucks unpackaged

[SafAlum]

woah that guy with glasses looked so different now

[dexter2323123]

lol

[sandweged]

damn thats a sleek ass modem.

[doalwa]

Ah, the 90s were a good decade for fashion, that's for sure! Rave on, boys :-)

[Seacow69]

*Superfacepalm* for those about to game we salute you, for those about to not get the joke, we give you the finger. Have a nice day.

[hongpingmike]

[Extaticus]

FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE US DOLLARS.

[pulseforce]

1/3 of people are utter idiots. This video is really charming and is a great throwback to 90s tv shows. Great job IGN, utterly loved it!

[pivotkid85]

AVGN should do a review on that

[strongo25]

This was funny. Sad that most people don't get the joke.

[nin10doblastiose1996]

where do you get it?please tell me!

[Mattdawson75]

This video is piontles ign needs to make funnier vids and stop wasting time with piontles s.hit like this

[halotroop2288]

[fishychips08]

@halotroop2288 ¬_¬ Wow dude... no shit. If you can't tell this video is a joke, there's not much hope for you.

THE ENTIRE VIDEO IS A JOKE PEOPLE.....STOP BEING DUMB ASSES.....as if u could help that...smh

[kukimane]

This is awesome :D in 1996 game console with internet modem and macOS boot psone coud play only music cd's.

[pbrocker56]

Some people obviously don't get the joke.

[farfuckinout]

Apple failed so bad with this piece of shit, they haven't made their products compatible with games past 1995 ever since out of pure embarrassment.

[Halinganji]

I knew in a second this was fake because in 1996, before HDTV was even invented, nobody would have thought to mention the resolution was 640x480. That's like somebody today saying, "This amazing new car runs on unleaded fuel only."

[Flynn01979]

@Halinganji In 1996 we already basically had HD, just on the PC only.

[Solicanz]

@Halinganji some cars run on electricity and sime others run on water

[fortifythamind]

@Halinganji its not fake, look it up. my friend had one back in the day

[MarkA15]

IGN... i am disappoint

[bestamerica]

'

what country make this apple game console

[Flynn01979]

Wow...this was a stupid video.

[SergeySasuke]

Where is my sock?

[PrivetCyan]

[corykong2]

no top comments yet? *ahem*... boobs...

[RoMFinishTheFight]

@corykong2 no

[TheHaloSuicideGuy]

@heroside1

I know its real, I meant the video is probably a joke, and it would have been even funnier if it was posted on April fools

[heroside1]

@TheHaloSuicideGuy Yea true and lol You have a funny name .

[TheHaloSuicideGuy]

@heroside1

;D

Why thaaaaank youuuuuu

[R2D2inHD]

Why are people hating on this. I was laughing the whole time

[JOHNRA1095]

YOU SUCK

[lakeb0dom]

it seems that technical knowledge is not such important a requirement to be hired by IGN, as much as sucking dick.

[KBFProductions]

@Spasmodicstudios No I meant back in the lates 80's or something, before he returned in the late 90's.

[Nintendocore644]

599 US DOLLARS

[kreater111111]

apple lol

[MysticMikey]

Like if you searched for IGN64

[MysticMikey]

was that real?

[HysterixEh]

Connect to to the internets

[andrescorona7]

@about16llamas no i did not know it was a joke thank you sir that makes alot more sense

[esurfer26]

I did not know that they had a console.

[jlong908]

it came out in 1995 ign

[DCR1968]

Wow! Talk about a blast from the past. Although it was probably revolutionary for it's time, I know that it bombed on the market. Nintendo and Sega had the market cornered.

[72Aztec]

is this real?

[DerptimeTV]

Absolutely pointless system

[shift857]

843 people dont have 599.99

[dc619]

Shit just like every Apple product

[AwsomeNinjaGuy]

@dc619 there's nothing as good as this that i know of that came out in 1996 :L

[CalmDraven]

lol my VCR can play better video games then that peace of shit!

[daRkjames99]

they should put black people instead

[mazikka1]

does is contain inolife!!

[Hvaharjeggjort]

@BennyHarassi These white ppl nope, calling everyone is just retarded racist shit :)

[FilMarck]

@BennyHarassi stfu racist prick

[shriniwasrocks]

You are freakin kidding me?....wtf!

[raknikmik]

@BennyHarassi You sir are a racist.

[ultimateriddlemaker]

@BennyHarassi racist

[AvohHD]

@BennyHarassi Black people aren't smart.

[Reederluvspancakes]

@AvohHD Some of the things most valuable to ur life and well-being were invented by black people such as traffic signals, soap, and blood banks i can keep going on and on but seriously dude Blacks are not stupid.....

[fretshr3dder]

@maximal200 i hope you realise IGN was created in 1996

[fretshr3dder]

@ImperialManiac1 O RLY? because i just closely examined this video and not one bit of it seemed as if they were about to burst out laughing.

[ImperialManiac1]

@fretshr3dder That's a little bit sad.

[fretshr3dder]

@flemoboy while that might be true, just because something is funny doesnt mean its a joke. if someone slips on a banana its funny, but its not a joke. :P

[TheKoolAidMan8]

That was supposed to be funny?

[fretshr3dder]

@carlosworldruler bro. the standard for the video is 360p. but it can be rendered in 720p. but it wouldnt matter anyways. go into fullscreen and look at in in 360p. then do it in 720p. for this video, it looks exactly the same.

[carlosworldruler]

@fretshr3dder look at it in 240p then 720p, completely different. Im sorry if you think this video is from 1996, your an idiot, seriously. if it was made in 96 and converted to 720p the quality would not look as good. It was filmed recently w a camera that has diff formats (240, 360, etc.), thats all. besides i know the guy on the right works for IGN, he does other vids too. if this was from the past then he should look 15 years younger.

[fretshr3dder]

@CiXxRed really? no such thing as the ign64 magazine? google. befriend it.

[fretshr3dder]

@cvcgac not as stupid as u bro. like i said to a bunch of other people, do some research first. this is obviously a real product.

[cvcgac]

@fretshr3dder I know Fuckin retard! The Console is ancient but the video is fuckin new! RETARD! This video is a joke. They made it like this month but tried to make it look like it was made a long time ago. Look at their clothes man! RETARD

[fretshr3dder]

@SPiDAAMuNKy just because you view the video in 720p doesnt mean the video IS 720p. the default for the vid is 360p

and its OBVIOUSLY not a joke. howabout doing some research?

[SPiDAAMuNKy]

@fretshr3dder Then why does the video quality go down when they show CES 1996? riddle me that

[Akatsukik13]

They took this video 15 years ago and presented it today.

No? Because that's what it looks like.

[felya420]

Those looking for a serious review of a 600 dollar Mac shoved into a VCR case from 96... Should first ask their parents what a VCR is...

[ThroneDrei00]

@AustinBoston345 i just said it looks like it! im not starting anything!

[MrGundestrup]

LOL. Nice xD

[TheSystemofadown123]

How did I get here?

[MediaMeandyou]

wow. hilarious.

[Mestitia]

apple fanboys are so ignorant and sad it's pathetic. Apple is trash, they rip you off hardcore, fuckin hipsters and rich folk...

[edi1088]
