a few more pages on the SNES CD-ROM

Yeah, it's obviously a Blu-Ray prototype.

 

>Here's the image, thanks to cawley1 :thumbsup:

Thanks for uploading your scan Yakumo, I have been busy at work and was going to do it this evening, then I saw you already had!

Is this picture one that has not done the rounds before (I can't remember ever seeing it previously) - I can't tell you the fanboy explosion when I saw it in the magazine this month...

If there are any sitting on R&D shelves in Sony offices 'around the world', you can probably bet they look like this, I wonder if it has anything inside it, though???

As for Edge, this month is issue 200, and they have 200 covers, many of retro games (if anyone turns up a Shadow of the Beast copy, let me know!) I have every issue and special of the magazine ever, each bought personally since the back end of 1993 and have been considering canceling my subscription as they have been a bit crap recently, this issue was a great one, though and comes recommended from me...

 

Uhh, looks like I f**ked that one up royally... Although, considering that the DVD spec. wasn't finalised until Dec. '95, I don't think anyone was going to be genuinely confused.

 

very interesting, there's a system cartridge tucked inside!

SUPER DISC SYSTEM CARTRIDGE

there would be no need for a system cartridge if it contained those guts inside, hence this is a stand-alone model of the add-on, no?=)

 

I'm surprised why the Image only showed up now in 2009? I saw it once back in 1999. It was in the German Total! magazine in a History of Videogames special.

 

i've saw it around 1993 or so in the german video game mag "video games".

 

So even with it being a combined cart/cd system, it looks like it needs a special cartridge top play the cds. Is that right?. I know its only a mockup but would any finished system need that.

 

200 covers. Fuck. I collect edge magazine, how the hell am I supposed to deal with this at £5 an issue.

 

This ones been around for a while http://www.bebo.com/PhotoAlbumBig.jsp?PageNbr=1&MemberId=4738574645&PhotoAlbumId=6408866613&PhotoId=8142567241

It was shown at the Tokyo International Electronics Show in October 1991, Sony put on a big show previewing the console, which they presented as a console both for both gaming and education. A variety of educational multimedia titles were announced.

 

Are you saying there's 200 different versions of this month's Edge? :shrug:

Or is it just 200 different covers inside every one of them?

 

Yes, the issue has 200 different covers: http://www.edge-online.com/features/edge-200-full-cover-gallery

I really need to get the new issue, and I really don't care which cover, sounds like it has some interesting stuff.

 

>200 covers. Fuck. I collect edge magazine, how the hell am I supposed to deal with this at £5 an issue.

I don't count multiple covers as part of my collection, when they did the 10 year anniversary they did 10 covers and I only bought the 3 or so I really liked!

Having said that I was only going to go for the Shadow of the Beast cover if I saw it and I crumbled yesterday when I saw Rolling Thunder and Tiki the Kiwi from New Zealand Story, so that is £9 I should not have spent, but had to have them! Now do I open the bag to look at them?!

It would be nearly impossible to get all 200, in my experience, all the WH Smith I have visited have all the same cover, bar one odd one, and the only other decent one I saw was Tetris!

Guess we should move Edge cover details to another topic ;-)

 

Imagine the hustle with their 1000nd cover.

 

Finally found this stupid magazine Only cost 4.50 anyway. Checked 5 or 6 places before I found it

 

A local store only had three of the 200 covers (they were all kind of boring, I settled for the Paradroid one: http://medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_212204.jpg ), and I spent way too much time seeing if any copy had the Gunstar Heroes cover. :lol: (yeah, I said I didn't care which cover, but I lied because I hadn't noticed there was a Gunstar cover)

BTW, does anyone know what game this is from? http://medialib.computerandvideogames.com/screens/screenshot_212244.jpg That was one of the covers too (the last one was Half-Life).

 

Some of the PC Engine CD system permutations required memory cards of various sizes plugged into its cartridge slot, so it's not unheard of.

 

It says in the magazine what the covers are. Theres some mention of the m2 in this issue as well

Edit: And quite a bit of Play Station stuff (even when it was called the Power Station). Good quality logos too, higher then whats on the net now.

 

Guess I just skipped those pages. Anyway, here's a scan of the PlayStation logos:

There's a few more on the page after that, as well as concept art of the "Power Station" in the same feature.

 

I think its Pilot wings.

 

it's pilotwings 64
