joeybastard Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 I remember reading about the failed "Playstation" CD for the SNES in a book about Nintendo called "Game Over". I was wondering then if Nintendo had any rights to the name. If this is true, I'm glad. I much prefer the N to Sony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Iwas wondering if this was ever going to come about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted December 18, 2002 Author Share Posted December 18, 2002 IF it's true, then more companies than just Sony are involved. This could be a bit messy for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 I was lucky enough to see the original SNES/PSX proto-type at the CGExpo (was even allowed to take a few pictures of it) but it never occurred to me at the time that "Playstation" was anything other than a wholly owned Sony name. I had always assumed they came up with it after the relationship with Nintendo fell apart. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 I have a feeling that this story is utter BS. There has been a lot of speculation surrounding a "Megaton" anouncement from Nintendo over the last 2 months (which was supposed to occur this week.) There have been reports over the last few days that Nintendo has purchased Capcom and merged with Sega as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 I actually still have the development documents for this SNES CD addon and it was called the PSX, that's why Sony didn't like consumers referring to the PlayStation as the PSX because the prototype they did for Nintendo was called that. Dunno about this story though, sounds a little weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinRyu05 Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 yeh sounds fishy to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikau Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 the reason i dont believe this is because only 1 site has put it up. when something big happens (like MS buying rare), every site on the web puts it up, even those not about gaming!

Nukey Shay Posted December 20, 2002 Author Share Posted December 20, 2002 It piggy-backed? I always thought that it went underneath...like the original SegaCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankx Here's the one I took at the Expo:http://www.RapReviews.com/cgexpo/snescd.jpg Hehe, I still have one or two of those proto controllers, they actually used those on the first revision of the PlayStation development hardware (the one without a sound chip).

moycon Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 I remember reading about this in one of the newer game books released over the past few years. I had no idea there were prototypes made. Any games made as well??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjessop Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 The pictured SNES/PlayStation adaptor was/is a dev system target device for the SNES CD add on. A few games were completed and I have 2 of them, I did not show them at CGE because the rights to the titles were never finalized and one is a Disney license. The device is NOT my personal property BTW and is owned by my employer where it currently resides. Not unlike the original Stella prototype story, some quick thinking employee fished it out of the garbage and gave it to me for the archives. It was originally part of the Sony Imagesoft studios group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Here is a pic of the PS-X proto controller for anyone who wants to take a closer look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z28in82 Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Very funky, how it is roughly a PSx controller just upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your own privacy Jerry, I wasn't mentioning that you were the one who showed it to me - but you've let the cat out of the bag now anyway so I'd like to say THANK YOU AGAIN for giving me the opportunity to see it, as well as the ORIGINAL Atari arcade game. Computer Space is sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjessop Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 hehe....no worries, I just wanted to come clean with where it came from and what it was. PlayStation (original) stuff is almost in "classic" territory now so I did not feel It was out of bounds bringing it to CGE. jj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
