yo diría que la cosa estaría entre la
Nintendo VIRTUAL BOY, Sega 32X, Sega CD, Atari JAGUAR, Commodore Amiga CD32, Philips CDi, Amstrad GX 4000, Apple Pippin, Infinium Labs Phantom... y alguna más que se me olvide. xd
edit: la la 3DO no era tan mala eh. Le daba un repaso en potencia a las que habían entonces. La ampliación del M2 para la 3DO prometía mucho.
