OK so to answer the question did Apple ever make a console I would
say no. Did Apple ever develop a platform that could be used with
a games console then the answer to that would be yes. The 'open
media technology platform' known as PiPP!n was created by Apple
and was based on the Apple Macintosh platform and included the
classic Mac OS.
The technology was licensed to Bandai who developed the ATMARK and
ATWORLD models mostly in the US and Japan.
Clear as mud and released in 1996. Managed to sell 42000 units.
That's about it really... Pretty uninspiring. I couldn't be bothered
dragging the box down to photograph again so I used my pics from
the last time. Just that I was having too much fun on the 3DO
and I didn't want to have to put that away... just yet.
