Sega were in the best position to realize this in theory in practice they did so much damage to their home console brand, they were no longer in a position to do it by 2001. But I don't think the market needed to fizzle out the way it did, there were and still are so many other qualities to the arcade market that weren't fully tapped into IMO. So you can't beat that!īut Gaf.I am curious who knew about the G-Net and who collects arcade hardware here?

It's an overspec'd PSX with PCMCIA cards as the storage medium vs discs with extra ram and sound hardware on board. I'd never seen 3D outside of arcades and now suddenly it was hooked up to a tv in my house.
