@@aceofhearts573 yup. One awesome Sonic title and a couple other great first party games and that would be all it needed to become a must have item. Then 3rd parties would have no choice but to support it. Why fund Knuckles Chaotix? I mean I respect trying new things but surely they knew that it wasn't going to be that good fairly early on. I bet that game cost as much if not more to develop than a "regular" Sonic title. They could have thrown in all the fancy scaling and rotation effects as long as it played good and fast. Oh well, so much wasted potential. I also see the logic in releasing an adapter versus making a bunch of expensive SVP based games. People don't want to spend over 100 bucks on a game, but a one time expense of 160 dollars to upgrade? Seems like a more attractive option on paper. Reality worked out differently though. If they could have found a way to get the price down on the SVP chip I guess that might have been a good compromise. Or you know, just shelf all of it and wait for the Saturn, then throw that saved R+D money at giving your 32-bit console a decent release with some good launch titles.

Be sure to come back Saturday, 7/21/18 for a livestream viewing party of the full Absolutely infomercial! Come watch and comment along with myself and special guest HistoricNerd. This one is a departure for me as it isn't a straight up documentary, although there is some history & research covered at the beginning. Don't worry, the next video will be back to my normal documentary style format for the XBAND. Thanks to Master-Cast TV, the mystery of who played Christina has been solved. It appears that K.K. Dodds played Christina. She's gone on to do Prison Break, as well as a bunch of other TV roles and films.

"Stella", as we all know was the code name for the VCS during it's development & the name of the TIA chip inside the machine. (as well as the most famous 2600 emulator.) The Atari Jaguar, at the time, was one of Sega's competitors. We'll never know for sure, but, I think my theory is plausible.

It's pure 90's cheese, and I love it. I honestly remember seeing this late night as a 13 year old kid as during the summer I could stay up long as i wanted, and had a TV setup with cable in my room, and I would ask my friends over the years after seeing it if they remembered the show, but none of them ever did, and I also never did call the phone # in fear of my parents yelling at me if there was a long distance fee on the phone bill, and as a kid I would have voted to see more video games, but as an adult I would vote for Stella lol!

I agree, I remember when this aired and being a teenager in the 90’s, it was a lot more entertaining than the cheesy infomercials of the time. It felt very “MTV”, if that makes sense. It’s just too bad about the internal strife between Sega of Japan and Sega of America. Imagine if this had been about the Saturn instead of those crazy Saturn commercials we got and Sega of Japan never forced the doomed 32X on the consumers.

I wish companies still did this kind of stuff today.

I remember 1994 pretty well, even the console Wars to some extent, I would have been 6 at the time. I don't remember this. I wonder if my brother does. I will say, I enjoyed some of the really bad acting, because the thing is, is that some of these people can actually act very well, but I think it was part of Sega's philosophy at the time to do things that are, kind of over the top. Personally, I would have voted for Stella's show.
