* Letter titled "Wottsa Matta Matsushita" (Page 14) - Letter complaining that as M2 wont be an add on, they should do a trade in.

Dear CVG,

If, as rumoured, Matsushita decide on the upgrade for 3D0 Ml.
surely they must offer some sort of large trade-in discount for
present owners. Also, the chances to sell 3D0 Ml as a quality
budget system were huge, all that was needed were a few top PC
conversions, ie F1GP2, Duke Nukem, etc. A £100-150 machine
with just a couple of quality games would, even at this eleventh
hour, sell millions, and these people would be the first adopters
of M2. I believe Matsushita are still thinking of an upgrade for
Ml, yet they have completely abandoned original owners and lost
potentially millions more by not pursuing the simple strategy
outlined above. CVG should ask them what, if anything, they think
of their original customers, any upgrade strategy for these Sk
customers, the likely date of M2's arrival in the UK, and what
software (if any) for Ml until the arrival of M2. ~

CVG: This letter is like a voice from beyond the grave.
Matsushita are keeping quiet
about M2, but it's highly unlikely
that it will be made available as
an 'add-on' for existing 3D0s. The
M2 hardware is so radically differ-
ent, the only use a 3D0 would
have is providing a CD-ROM drive!
There's no hope of finding any
new software either.

Dear CVG.

I am writing to you regard-
ing the N64, you know the
so-called "Ultimate Super
Console" and

saviour of console gaming. Almost
18 months late, and countless
delays down the line and it Just has
not lives up to all the hype which
surrounded It way back as far as
issue 163 June 95. Its performance
Just Isn't that superior as that of
the 32-bit machines, especially
Sony's PlayStation, and therefore
the gap between 32 and 64-bit
isn't anything that special and I
don't think Justifies the delays that
Nintendo had to bring the N64 to
production.

Also what happened to all the
specs of the machine.
Issues 162 & 171:

1. Clock speeds greater than
100 Mhz.

2. Realtime 3D graphics with high
resolution 24-bit video and CD
quality sound.

3. 3D anti-aliasing textures, with
detail of a higher standard le. HDTV
of the future.

Where are these specs now?
Also 100,000 polygons/sec. Wow!
The Saturn can do 500,000 and
PlayStation reputedly about
750,000. I've been waiting about
18 months for the "Ultra" 64, but
now I think I'll just forget it. I'm
either getting a PlayStation now or
waiting for what seems like a true
next gen 64-bit system, yes the
un-believable M2I 7 custom graph-
ics and sound processors, 2 IBM
602 main processors, and a whole
host of technical specs which will
no-doubt blow the Big N's machine
out of sight. Roll on M2, a true 64-
bit power super console.
