if any of you guys remember the Phantom,it was a system promised to have 30,000 games because it was gonna run on linux and you would be able to d/l games str8 to the consoles from all third party developers.

this was 2002!!!

years before PSN Store and Xbox Arcade

they even promised a 10GB HDD to boot so you could record tv.

WTF happened to this???

i also remeber Nintendo planning a system called Dolphin that was similar to this then they Duke Nukem'd it for the Wii

    actually from what i understand, the dolphin was just a mock up name until they decided to call it the "gamecube" i can't believe i wasted money on that...smh
