Heh, Stan keeps teasing us about the interview every once in a while in different threads... and he's been very successful so far at making me more curious about it.

Well it's essentially from a 91-92 article from a japanese magazine. BEEP! also had some nice articles such as one describing an hypothetical MarkIII Extension to develop music.

Man, you guys need to befriend some of the guys who worked at SEGA during the times the SMS was made. Then we could get the truth! Some of you all should just call up some of the guys who worked there, and be like "Hey! Can I be your friend?" Don't get called the cops on. Didn't you just interview one, Stan? Why don't you ask him to come on the forum? www.homestarrunner.com/songs/Too%20Many%20Knives.mp3

Do you maybe reckon it might have been a very old style of memory card? So that they could allow people to save games to their personal disc.
This way they could produce more role playing games or games which required saving with out the phenomenal price that was associated with making battery back-up capable carts???

rainmunYeah, I definetly reckon this possibility. Do you know the Nintendo 64-DD? This released expansion unit added a certain disk-drive, that used strange rewritable Nintendo-Disks, to the Nintendo 64 in order to increase the memory-capacity available to the players. It was used for the Mario Artist CAD-programs and for some other processes involving the player saving home made data. This concept screwed totally. In fact i wouldn't know any console-extension/expansion unit, that exceled. The most successful units yet were the extensions to the Mega Drive, but even they were economically mistakes weakening the Saturn's stand. I guess there is some economic reason why expansion sets never have and most probably never will be a successful addition to an existing video-gaming-system. But their mysterious prototypes provide the most suspenseful and thrilling moments for the retro-community - discovering what could have been ... Best regards!
