Panasonic 3D0 (1993)
It was a failure of a console. But that’s what was so good about the 3DO. Everything about it was captured perfectly by its design. With its “pillars” it looked like a pantheon, an ancient shrine to a non-existent god, a hulking mass of plastic that wanted you to think it was the future, the conquerer, the greatest. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!
Only it wasn’t any of those things. It was a hulking great piece of plastic. And, like Ozymandius, all anyone remembers now is the bluster, not the works.
