This is a discussion topic video about the fifth generation of videogame consoles. This will be part "six point five" of my seven part mini-series. Here we will discuss the Apple (Bandai) Pippin, the eighth entry in to the fifth generation of game consoles. - เกม
THE CONTROLLER LOOKS LIKE THE ORIGINAL PS3 PROTOTYPE CONTROLLER REMEMBER?
+herohunter81 That's what I was thinking too lol
"the prototype of the ps3 looks like the apple pippin controller"
not thebother way around
+herohunter81 There was actually a PS1 controller shaped like that.
+Son of Tiamat (formerly known as tiakpark) I have one of those
GlaciatorGaming Is it good?
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.
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
That short intro you have is so relaxing
+Edmundo studios Usually it's considered annoying, much appreciated!
+N. Pike Did you end up finding any you liked?
+N. Pike I just talk off the cuff largely.
+N. Pike Have fun doing fish stuff!
+AdamKoralik
You said something about changing the Keep Dreaming part of the intro a year ago.
What ever happened to doing that?
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
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.
How did you stand the controller up are you a wizard?
Its a foam like material for tradeshows; it just sticks in between the grooves
@@jmike2039 That's super cool actually, thanks.
Hey Adam! I love your console generation recaps! I have learned a lot from you. I have read a lot of video game history but you really bring the history to life and talk about things I have not read/heard anywhere else. Keep up the good work!
Steve Jobs was only ever a spokesman for the Apple machine, Steve Woznack was the true creator of the Apple Machine.
*****
Supposedly Steve sunk so much money into his Macintosh project so he could get a higher role of importance in the company.
A salesman is just important as the creator. There’s no point in building something if no one will buy it
@@MalarkeyMan he is what saved apple after all.
Thank you, Adam, for all these videogame generation recaps.
I don’t think Adam has pants on when recording these videos
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?)
Look up "Aleph One." You can absolutely play this game today.
Marathon was a game series developed for and released on the Macintosh, and Aleph One is an open source port of the Marathon engine that can run all three games.
Basically, Super Marathon was just the first two Macintosh games, not even a port, because the Pippin was just a Macintosh.
"What defines a console of being good" I think is an awesome subject!
It would be very interesting to see you show the great aspects of different consoles.
Hopefully it'll highlight the beauty and greatness of all types of consoles regardless of their success or failures.
Love these generation recaps, always interesting videos Adam. Good Stuff!
Thanks!
definitely interested in the topic you proposed. I've been keeping up the console based videos for a while now. thanks for the good videos and please keep this channel going
That music CD menu looks like a less-cool version of the Sega Saturn music CD menu.
Apple Pippin: Mythological
Sega Dreamcast: Legendary
Dreamcast has nothin to even do with this
I appreciate obscure consoles, but the Dreamcast wipes it's cheeks with this thing.
I'm really glad you made a video for this, out of all the weird rare consoles I think this one interests me the most because I grew up in a Mac household until about 2005. I had (and still have) the "pizzabox" style PowerMac 6100 that came out in 91 or 92 I think. It's really interesting they went with a desktop style point and click interface, and that it does seem like the system has a significant amount of "weight" to it, whether that's in its gameplay benefit that certainly isn't obvious. If you can find the ROM for Marathon, which I saw a couple other people mention, definitely burn that and try it out. I played the Mac version of Marathon and it is quite fun, it's most comparable to Doom, and even if the controls suck it's still probably one of the better games for the system, as I know it was good on the Mac. Apple went out of the way to port it to the Pippin, as it was known as one of the desirable exclusives on Macintosh for the time. Thanks again for the video!
Hey Adam, love your videos! I learn a lot about consoles, and see consoles I've never even heard of! Keep up the good work, Adam.
Thanks!
I love learning the history behind these strange consoles. As always thanks for the great and entertaining content.
+techninefan90 Thanks for watching!
+AdamKoralik Will you still be doing a live stream on youtube in a couple weeks or so?
+techninefan90 Hoping to.
+AdamKoralik That would be awesome :D
Hey man, good job on the video, I watched your older videos, and they're really interesting. Good luck for 2016, and you just earned a new subscriber!
A video on the subject of what makes a console a console is sure to be an awesome discussion. It's similar to the argument for the IAU's planet definition. I'd love to see it. Great video as always, Adam.
+VGnerd Thanks for watching!
I met Jason Frank at Comic Con a few years ago. It was real honor. You can tell he loves doing that kind of stuff.
I missed this. I have been super interested in it for a while so Im glad you made this video
+GoldenTriforce Thanks for watching!
Finding all kinds of new things to get. Thanks for the videos. Love the history of tech.
Woo! Thanks for adding this one Adam. I love your console recap videos! :)
+PMSJordan Thanks for watching!
AdamKoralik I'm star stuck! You've never replied to me before. :D
+PMSJordan
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.
+Alhedgehog Thanks!
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).
definitely interested in the topic you proposed. watched a Fair amount of your content and have come to enjoy the stuff that's posted. I favor the console based videos though haven't had a bad reaction for time I've been watching. thanks for the good videos and please keep this channel going
"Steve Jobs never had any interest in video games"... The same Steve Jobs that worked for Atari?..
Yep, if you delve more into that, he really worked there pretty much against his will.
Jared Connell When Steve jobs worked at atari, He was already friends with the Woz. Woz, despite not being an employee, Help jobs create Breakout.
Maybe Breakout was Steve Job's trying to tell other people how he felt while working there. Like he wanted to Breakout.
Yep in Wozniak's book, he mentions Steve taking the job making breakout, only for a paycheck, then he proceeded to rip off woz on the payout.
definitely interested in the topic you proposed. thanks for the good videos and please keep this channel going
+DB N Thanks for watching!
This is why I watch your videos: they're just awesome.
+Snake Plissken Thanks!
They should have ported slam city with Scotty "pippen" to the Apple Pippin..🤣🤣
I really love this series, and this video too! Would you be willing to do a series on handheld consoles?
Awesome video! Love the retrospective series a lot! Also, I got my Dreamcast to work again. Recalibrated the laser a bit and works like a charm! Thanks for your help!
+ECGxDrifter Happy to help!
+ Adam Koralik Thank you again for another great video , I hope you and Mrs Claus had a great Christmas !!!
+nuketowncity Thanks!
hey Adam I think too much about setting up my own TH-cam channel but what is fun is sharing all the weekly video game shows on Facebook. love your kick ass show and will try to remember to share your show every episode. burn more games for pipin or just for viewers to send them to you I suppose.
Awesome that you made a whole video about it
+ilcool90 Hope you liked it!
Nice vid. Interesting how it's all come full circle for Apple and gaming. They made iOS and now they are one of the most dominant videogame platform holders out there...
Adam, just thought you should know this game is on PC as well, I had it as a kid. I'm glad you showed footage since I've been trying to figure out which one it was for a long time. I'm willing to bet the PC version has better controls than the pippin port.
Hey Adam. I haven't commented in a while, but this intrigued me. I'm from Europe (Scotland in fact), and I've NEVER heard of this system. I was probably in my mid to late teens at this age, and owned a PlayStation and N64, but this one totally went over my head. Thanks for covering this curiosity. I'm going to have to read up on this thing now!
i mentioned this console on my stream and my friend was shocked apple even made a system had to send him this video 💯🔥 !
i like the detailed zoom shots like the on the controler vary awesome way
The Pippin is part of gaming history. But thanks to videos like this it will not be forgotten.
+John D. Ha, thanks.
Woah. I can't believe you got your hands on this! I was a previous Apple fan. But I've since made the switch to Samsung and Microsoft ..
Beautiful looking console.
Adam, I loved your Console Retrospective. Is there any chance of you doing a series were you select one game from each console from each generation and give the story behind them? Mario and Sonic alone would give you enough scope. Goldeneye, Megaman etc.
I always enjoy watching your videos! I also live in Chicago. (NW Suburbs)
+dr3wd4wg Represent!
damn your videos like this are always so interesting
+Tubby Scat Thanks!
Great video adam!!
make more videos about pippin! More games!!! please!!
Adam, you totally need to try and play Marathon on it. As you might already know Marathon is kind of like a proto Halo. Bungie made that before they made the Halo games, and it is actually a really good game. Interested to hear how well the controller is for a FPS game lol.
BFKAnthony817 im almost 100% I had that game on my family computer when I was in elementary school in the later 90s
Damn you finally got one of these things. Nice vid.
i heard from a good source that a pallet of pippins were in a warehouse for fifteen years in the customs facility in portsmouth uk, they went back to apple in the states to be liquidated, so there are some pal units over there somewhere.
21:06 i love how they try to put a question mark on the gold ranger but we can clear as day see who it is what’s back there a giraffe
Awesome video Adam. It's so odd. makes me want to learn more
Very interesting console. Thanks for sharing man!
+Ian “AR-15” Wolfe Thanks for watching!
I think that they chose to make that shoulder button the confirmation button in order to make it more similar to a computer mouse where you use your right index finger to click. Also, is the controller port the same as the Saturn?
are you ever going to make a handheld recap. would be cool to see your opinions on them.
Awesome vid man! Also i want one of this t shirts
The ball mouse in the center of the pippin controller reminds me of a primative version of the dualshock 4's center touch pad.
Very cool! I always enjoy seeing those ultra rare consoles. Thanks for sharing footage.
One request though if I may. Only because I've seen you do this in several videos but instead of saying something is "expensive", could you give us the cost? Or, if you don't want to reveal how much you paid for something, a rough cost?
If the right trigger is A it sort of makes sense, it's mapped to your index finger like the (left) mouse button on most computers, plus it has a dedicated finger for "confirm", rather than having to share the thumb.
Wow! You have a Pippin. Congrats Man.
+Ponchozworld Thanks!
Wow nice vid adam! I just cant believe this thing! That what makes a console great vid idea sounds nice!
+Nintendo64_Lover Thanks!
Katz Media also made a Pippin model named the kmp-2000 which is extremely rare
Id say yes, id like to see a series about what makes a console good or bad, if nothing else for the extra content.
can you do a video on the gizmondo handheld or on the phantom console from the mid 2000s?
thanks for sharing .
The NA version was also released by Bandai with the moniker "Pippin @World". Katz Media released the European version as the "Katz Media Player". No models were manufactured nor termed the 'Apple Pippin' as a console. Let me know if you need any additional information (www.videogameconsolelibrary.com/pg90-pippin.htm). Thanks for the effort in touching upon this rare bird.
Another amazing video but where is the video of the unboxing of the Apple pipin?
+bestintheworld8803 th-cam.com/video/FCgI_4qmBLI/w-d-xo.html
+AdamKoralik thanks
@AdamKoralik Yep. It's funny you mentioned that because I happened to be looking up the Bandai-Namco brand, which at a time of course both corporations used to be separate. Point and case I happened to find out that at wikipedia they play large role to this computer/console at least overseas anyway.
I live in Japan like your friend and I see Pippins sometimes too. They are definitely reasonable and I'm sure I'll pick one up eventually.
You should do some of these videos for portable consoles like gameboy, game gear, atari lynx, etc. I think that would be really cool.
I remember looking at one of these things at KB Toys in a mall when I was very little
Man! I’ve wanted one for a long time. I have a dozen Macs from that era. System Software 7- Mac OS 8.x
This is a bit off topic, but where do you buy your video games? Do you order them online, or do you go to retro video game stores? Maybe garage sales?
Adam!!!! No way!!! You finally got a hold of one for your video!!!!!!!!! The pippin!!!
I love our long talk we had about it! It was so funny!
+T00muchF00D Yep, neat isn't it?
+AdamKoralik it is! I want to play this piece of crap so bad!
The "confirmation" button being the right trigger is not at all odd when you think about who made this. It is essentially your mouse clicking finger transmuted onto a gaming controller....
Always was intrigues by the pippin and always think about getting one Thanks for the video.
Hi Adam, I watch all your videos and i really enjoy them! I just wish the audio quality was better :/
+Emil Hansson Thanks!
Does anyone know if this thing was sold in specific store chains or something? Because I never saw one on any store, and I always was looking for cool video game stuff on malls in that time.
Definitely do a video about what makes a video game console
+Sensei Jr. Noted sir.
My left ear enjoyed that Power Rangers Zeo gameplay.
Great video! I would get a Japanese Pippin on eBay, if I could find some games, like Super Marathon, for it.
Have an upvote! I love the series.
+vargas4maggot Thanks!
+AdamKoralik when it was new, I already was a "pro gamer" and read up to 7 video game magazines/month. Not one of them could talk about it at it's launch, because Apple never though about sending the editorial offices of said magazines a sample of the console. Their only chance to talk about it was during some expo reports. Also there wasn't one store who had this thing, so it's no wonder that no one bought it.
I have a love hate relationship with my pippin. I love owning one but i really hate it.
A video on what makes a good console would be interesting.
On another note... I wonder how Super Marathon is on that system.
THANKS FOR SHOWING GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE GAMEPLAY FROM YOUR OTHER OBSCURE CONSOLES. NOT ALOT OF FOOTAGE TO LOOK UP OUT THERE.
If you end up getting a catbox for the Atari Jaguar, you can use VGA for that I think, just looking at the device.
Interesting, it seems this console outputs 640 on 480 over vga but puts an abundance of underscan to bring it down to 240p-ish in the game. At least it seems so from the video, does it output fullscreen over S-Video than?
Wikipedia states it has a 640x480 output but the real, in game resolution may be lower
+AdamKoralik
Can't it play regular PC games if their OS was compatible?
What game systems do you have a full set of games for besides the dreamcast.
Adam you have become my wikipedia.
how can the yellow ranger see anything with that helmet?
I'd like to see a video on that
Those controller ports look similar to those found on the Saturn.
Fun fact: the ONLY game released for the Pippin in Europe was a French-language medical resource for urinary problems
