mack 44 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 I dunno, I think by the time the PS was big the Saturn was already gone. Sad though, the Mega Drive was an awesome console. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D aka speck 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 Does anyone remember the Indreama concept?It seems that every open source project fails.A total shame really,The Indreama failed before it even launched.HD DVD failed recently andthe 3DO game system flopped miserably.

mack 44 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 3DO just came out way before it should have. I still preferred its Madden over the Mega Drive's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustpot 1 Report post Posted February 22, 2008 Not to mention the Sega units were crap compared to the Playstation. I wouldn't call it a format war though. PS 1 and 2 were great systems in their time.Betamax was relegated to minimal use in TV stations, UMDs, Memory Stick, Hi8, MiniDisc (despite Euro/Asian popularity), etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
