hmmm... I've been thinking

No, Sega is done. Apple might but I wouldn't bet on it.capthavic

Neither would I. At least, not a present. They got a time table to keep.

That and esp what happened with the Pippin

I understand they don't really have a games division, but didn't SONY use to make crappy SNES games before the PS?

i was always under the impression sony entered the gaming market after the failed SNES-CD. as far as a 'comeback kid' or w/e if one of the big 3 topples, i'd say itd be random suicide. if apple goes for it, no doubt it would be wii like (in appearance if nothing else) but i'd hardly expect apple to go the gaming route, what with the amazing gaming support mac users get.

as far as Sega and DC2, i'm kinda out on that one. i love my DC and all, but the stuff theyve been releasing outside of japan has been lackluster at best, with the sporadic hit. not nearly enough to support a eral console. i'd LOVE it if somehow SNK could be an independent company again and come out with a Neo Geo 2, but again, too little too late.

if one of the big three topples, i fear the other two would quickly usurp the fallen's market share, and we'd be one step closer to uniform media, and VG will go the way of the music industry. so sad.

Nope, they were called Sony Imagesoft... here is a link to some of their crap they published or developed:

Mostly lisenced games.
Let's just thank god Nintendo dissed the CD-ROM and the PS was born.5FingersOfDeath

holy crap, now i remember that, with the crappy quill pen logo. i didn't realize they dated back to 91, that's kinda cool.

they DID turn into 989 studios...which is an AWESOME developer, i loved twisted metal 3 /endsarcasm
