Macintosh Performa 6360 and 6400 Introduction

This is the first thing new Macintosh Performa 6360 and 6400 owners would see when starting their computers for the first time. These were the most powerful Performas ever, with a/v inputs, TV tuner cards, video editing capabilities, and early ATI 3D accelerators. They were also the last Performas. Circa 1996.

I'll be seeing this soon when I pick one up and install the original software (the disks that came with it.

@ZoomBFX Um, it would have only played one time and never again thereafter.

Descent was beastly for a game. I was just ten years old when that game sucked me in.

Only with the subwoofer !

I Have a 6500/250 (275MHz) with many of the software of my 5400 G3 as a backup computer, I just can't favourite one.

I wonder what would be the PowerBook G3 intro...

My first computer was a Performa 6360. I Haven't seen this little video since 1997. We sold the thing in December of 1997 if I remember.

Now I almost wish I had it back to see how much I could upgrade the thing, or just to play around with it. And yes, I remember Descent too. I ripped all the music tracks from it and still have it on my MP3 player. The soundtrack rocks even today.

Me too! My first computer was the 6360 as well. I remember it came with a package of software and DESCENT! I still have that game.

I have a complete 6400 with original manuals/docs/software, etc. I never saw this. Where is it? When exactly does it happen?
