They seriously thought doubling the CD’s read speed was going to bring it close to ROM cartridges?

That 3DO blip on the right makes me sad, it was arguably a better system than the PlayStation but it just couldn’t make it. (I imagine there are reasons, but I still enjoyed playing things like D on it).

I still have my video game magazines from the 90s. Sometimes I like to read them to see exactly this kind of news.

I remember one saying how the water effect in Unreal was almost real

Nintendo’s Project Reality

For those wondering, like I was, this was an early hype-laden codename for what would become the N64.

And, then there’s me, who knew that. Also Gamecube was Dolphin, I used to know Wii and WiiU code names. The switch was the NX.

But if I saw Wii or WiiU codenames again, it would come back to me. I’d be like “Ah, yes, thats right.”

I never knew NES or SNES codenames.

I knew it! I knew when I saw it, I’d instantly remember it. That’s totally what it was. Virtual Boy had something with 32 in it I think. Is Project 32 a thing? Something with 32.
