It's basically a Saturn with built in 28k modem...possibly a slimmer design to cut costs down but never made it out.

From what I was reading earlier it was one of only 2 prototypes made. But what a thing to own.

Hadn't thought of that but it is indeed very possible.

Apparently Sega have their own mini-museum so I doubt it, they probably have one already.

Doug mentioned it was only 1 of 2 prototypes made and if that's true surely any company would want both.  Regardless it's going to sell for big money so I might as well sell mine now.









Lol

With things this rare I stop caring. If there's no chance of ever owning one then I'm not interested.

I will wait for the FC Pluto to come out :4: Seriously, if I was a retro console maker, this would be the one to buy and clone it.

Found a video that looks at this console.  Check it out...

This would have been pretty nifty, the one annoying thing about the NetLink is that it takes up the slot you could use for an Action Replay.  But, we all know how the Saturn played out, so it's just as well.

Cracking video, as above i would have loved it but as we all know, to much too soon for people i guess.

Yes, I thought it was a nice overview of the console.
