+sixersfan105 Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Ah yes, the mythical card case. I talked about that in the original post on this thread. I don't believe the card case was ever released. The Mattel link here shows a picture of the card case but the description on that page is actually for the fanny-pack style console case, which did get released and is available for purchase in new old stock condition here.

NeonSpaceBeagle Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 This looks way better than the Wii U! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have read that the actual processor in the HyperScan, developed by Sun Systems, was capable of Dreamcast-quality games, had it been pushed to its limits.

+sixersfan105 Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Wow...a Spider-Man Booster Pack popped up for sale on eBay for the first time since I've been in the HyperScan scene (is there a HyperScan scene?) and it sold for $70 less than a day after it became available for purchase. Anyone here snag it? Not cheap, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Not I. You know.. I haven't eBayed anything Hyperscan in a while. Hell, I still haven't even tried my console yet! I should get on that. Been pushing it off.. and off.. and off.. in lieu of other gaming related items that are likely a lot more fun to experiment with. Life is short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPilz Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) I don't even know if I own the actual Spiderman game yet, I have to check my "bag of Hyperscan oddities" I've picked up over the years. I just checked some footage and Spiderman really looks to be the stand-out game on the platform with decent variety of missions. Some day I'd love for there to be a reemergence of interest in the system for homebrew uses, since the media can be burned onto standard CD-Rs.

Even had dedicated forums to discussing and reverse engineering it, but now you'll just find a lot of invalid links and much of the content including the forums never managed to get properly archived for preservation.

Yeah, I agree that Spider-Man is probably the best game on the system. A reemergence of interest would definitely be cool; we shall see! Very much a shame about the lack of preservation over the years. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
