Were there any of these?

I've seen the AT&T 3DO prototypes but what about Matsushita FZ1 prototypes? I guess it's different because 3DO never produced a console, they just created a chipset/standard and others created a console. Still, there must be something...

Just wondered...

There are some FZ-1 prototype mock-ups and working proto's as well. I'll see if I can dig up some of my old pics.

Here are two shots from the August '93 issue of GamePro page 16. The full 2 pages are somewhere on the forums I think.

The 2nd one is awesome! The most similar to the FZ-1 but I love the classy LEDS! ;)

To my opinion, the Panasonic FZ-1 is one of the most beautiful system ever made and looks like more sexy than a Wii, 360 or PS3 (even if I have all of them...)! ^^

Totally agreed. :) Welcome to the forum mate. Maybe you should call yourself 'Agreeable Ken'?

Agree as well. The FZ-1 always felt and looked like a solid, reliable, well designed console. Sitting next to all my other systems, it just looks good.

Although I am a sucker for my Neo Geo AES as well. Always liked the design...pure simplicity
