I remember this, I lived it. It was a great joke in the magazine. What an amazing time to be alive. New hardware coming out left and right.

Looks at thumbnail "What in the name of all that is holy..." 😂

That was the most wholesome unwholesome use of the word SLOT I've ever seen.

I went to work for Lockheed Space in 1988 and I vaguely remember from an Internal Newsletter about the Arcade tie-in but the magazine article pictured brought it quickly back to mind. Love your work as always.

Bernie Stolar is the person that almost completely destroyed Sega
@MaxAbramson3
A LOT of people both inside and outside of SEGA were saying that the DreamCast should be done as a $100-120 addon to the Saturn, clearing out $1-2 billion in Saturn's, accessories, and games, and games, and giving DC buyers backward compatibility with 1100 Saturn games. UPDATE: Or just offer the 3dfx VooDoo card (1 milion poly's/sec with all features on) for the VCD slot for $40-50. This almost happened in 1996, and the Saturn could just draw the backgrounds and distant objects while the machine handily wiped the floor with everything that SONY and NINTENDO threw at the wall.
@Dodolfo1
I think SEGA never understood the difference between Arcade hardware and console hardware. It's much simpler to ask arcade owners to buy add ons than to home players.
@jmcclain8237
Oh, I remember the article about the 64x. I just rolled my eyes and moved on. I was so fed up with SEGA at that point.

Old enough to remember the way my Atari 2600 cartridges smelled straight out of the box 😊

OH, MY GOD! When she says/sings "Daytona"....I got to admit she made my heart flutter just for a moment! 😍 All kinds of memories and feelings from that time came rushing back.
@thepeternetwork
My family wouldn't need a Sega Saturn 64X if it existed. My sister was happy with her Genesis even if she was no good at the games. She preferred the Sonic lore. My reason of wanting a Playstation was for Pac-Man World 20th Anniversary. As far as I knew, that's the only reason the Playstation was made, but as always, I only needed One.
@3DJapan
I have my 32X right in the next room.
@Whereisluq
Sega should have made the mega Drive/genesis backwards compatible and region free. This would have shown early SEGA fans some much needed love while Nintendon’t with the nonbackwards compatibility SNES. Followed by the SEGACD being postponed until it could give Playstation “close” graphics (SEGACD+3Dvidcard+memory) in one unit! Sony would have had a hard time pulling away loyal SEGA fans who could play there entire SEGA game collection on one system! Followed by releasing the now 64X add-on to match the N64 but cd based instead of expensive Nintendo carts. the world retro Industry may have started years earlier. Heck they could have even add 2 more controller ports to the 64X and did a move like Sony with the dual analog controller. Only then releasing a brand new DVD system with again backwards compatibility to every cart/cd SEGAFANS owned SEGA would have been the standard and maybe kept Nintendo from just re-releasing the same games
@neophytealpha
Had Sega made the Dreamcast backwards compatible with the Saturn and 64x, and Genesis and 32x, they could have dominated. Especially if they had embraced the processor they were offered by silicon graphics and the disc system of sony.
@feplays007
I first came into contact with the Sega Saturn because my cousin had one, we imagined that the expansion port was for running game cartridges, and its music CD player was pretty fantastic, it looked like a spaceship! Good times.
@shikononinja3376
I read this back in 1995 in a gaming magazine but it was just being speculated but damn I didn’t know it nearly happened
@The_Gallowglass
I only know one guy that had a sega cd, and one other guy with a saturn. Neither were very popular. I thought about buying a 32x, but I never asked my parents for it...and by the time I might have got one Playstation came in like the Kool Aid man.
