I have the opportunity to bring some development items for the museum at the Midwest Gaming Classic this year, I'm looking for some advice for what I should bring. I figure i'll list some systems and see what people would be interested in seeing and learning more about.
- PS2 TOOL. Think of it as a PC that dressed up as a PS2 for halloween. It's the dev system used to create PS2 games. At 39 pounds, this thing is a beast.
- Alpha Xbox. A PC tower that was sent to developers in 2000/2001 for them to begin programming for the Xbox. I have some of the earliest versions of the Xbox dashboard along with prototype controllers, and can have the system running some very early xbox games.
- Debug Xbox. Looks like a halo LE system.
- TEST PS2. The debugging station for the PS2. Looks identical to retail except for the word "TEST".
- Debug PS1. Come in blue and green flavors. Taste the rainbow.
- CD-I developer system. Looks like an old 386 i had in elementary school. I'm not sure if it works or not.
- Prototype/Developer Saturn. Built way before the retail systems came off the line. Has the Cross Development card crammed in it's side.
- Launch Team Xbox 360. Purdy colors version of the 360.
- Launch Team Xbox1. Bill Gates couldn't actually be bothered to sign these, so they lithographed his sig anyway.
- Promo 2600. Hot stamped with "Promotional use only. Not for resale". Supposedly it was used at trade shows to demo the console, but i can't verify that.
- Hello Kitty Xbox. Meow.
I don't plan on having more then 1 or 2 of the systems running with displays. Transporting that many TV's and Monitors would be a bigger pain then the consoles themselves. I was going to have some cool odds and ends scattered around, some gold submission discs, E3 invitations and the like.
