- It's Adam Koralik here and today we're doing something special. I had the opportunity to sit down, use, review, and discuss the history of the Nintendo Playstation prototype, AKA the SNES CD.
Thanks for Terry Diebold for making this possible.
Update 1, the prototype has since been sold.
Update 2, Terry has since passed away.

It even turns yellow from oxidation like the SNES!
I saw that and I was like "They shoulda given it to Adam to restore!"
Many plastics do that, cuz of a fire suppressant containing bromine inside, that breaks down.
I just realized he passed away this past year, what a bummer. That's amazing that he allowed so many people not only to see it in person but to play it and touch it. RIP
You are so lucky man. You got to hold and experience a piece of history. One of the best channels on youtube
Adam, you've gotta put being a Nintendo Playstation security guard on your resume.
Really cool, Terry seems like such a nice guy and very humble. I am so glad it was found by some so genuine, he deserves every penny he can get from it. He has served the community well touring with it. Great story, all the best! Also thanks Adam again for the great content as always
Yeah. He’s so nice he’s selling it to the highest bidder instead of donating it to a museum. How cool is that? So cool. /spit
@@suluturnip no need for that, he found it and did the work. He realised it was something special, and is entitled to every penny
Nintenjam bullshit. He’s been making money off of it since he found it. It belongs in a museum and you know it.
@@suluturnip Your comment is bullshit. It belongs to the guy and he can do whatever he wants with it. I guarantee you would do the same thing as would all the other whiners.
@@suluturnip You’ll never get to see it Ha Ha
It's crazy when you think about it, Nintendo never released anything that played off of CDs. That guy on the TV in that Sega CD commercial was right, "there is no Nintendo CD".
Adam got to caress a unicorn here.
Can you imagine that feeling? It's probably like every new console and PC part that you'll ever get combined.
Easily the single greatest thumbnail for a UA-cam video of all time.
Big O instead of boobs, the console
I can’t believe you actually got to touch it.
He basically found a lottery ticket with the winning numbers.
This thing has also been repaired by Ben Heck several times, no idea why nobody in the video mentioned it.
Perhaps because those chapters of the Ben Heck Show are copyrighted by element14 and any mention of it could arise a flag that can get this video banned?
As Terry said, we went for the "5 minute version."
@@AdamKoralik Undoubtably Ben deserve 5 seconds of those 5 minutes as he was who put the prototype in working condition fixing the CD-ROM drive and the sound system.
Simple oversight man, it happens when you're just speaking off the cuff.
@@AdamKoralik Acknowleged 👍😉
Watching this in the Fouth Gen Recap playlist. Terry's an absolute legend, R.I.P
man that was a hell of a story! I've been watching this unfold since the first news about that short youtube video that he recorded it's been neat to see!!
The holy grail of console collecting!
The dreams of what could've been!
"like Adam was saying when Sony and Nintendo were butt buddies" Best part.
I wish I had enough money to buy it myself so that I could tour with this thing and continue to allow people to enjoy the Nintendo Playstation.
Based around that story at the start it almost seems like Sony was planning a hostile takeover of Nintendo with the Playstation.
There mission is to take down both Nintendo and Sega. They successfully took down Sega (well Sega did it to themselves) and try to get Nintendo. Luckily for Nintendo, they dominated Handheld consoles.
Then Microsoft rose up to challenge them and now they are in the process of being knocked out.
And now it seems Sony it’s falling do to Microsoft and Nintendo basically been all friendly heck Nintendo it’s getting all COD for 10 years while Sony ain’t getting none
This console was mythical status for the longest time. It was stuff of legends. Only rumors existed. So to have found the one surviving unit, it’s absolutely incredible. This is the gaming equivalent of finding the Holy Grail. Thank you guys for making this video.
What really makes this console special is it involves two of the Biggest gaming companies in the industry. Two companies that have survived so many generations. This box is technically a generation 4 system. It's also the only Nintendo affiliated system that actually plays audio CDs. The GameCube, Wii & Wii can only play games and not CDs or DVDs. Someone should write a book about this thing so we all can own some part of it. SNES Play Station the Holy Grail of gaming.
I was at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo this year and I had no idea this was there. It's a real shame because I would've loved to see it in person.
9:48 - *slaps head*
"EPIPHANY!"
Great video Adam and huge props to Terry for finding this gem of gaming history and sharing it with everyone! I'm wondering if Terry is considering putting it up on auction instead of selling it. Just on the provenance alone I legitimately believe that it would sell at auction for somewhere in the 7 figure range. Truly the Action Comics #1 of the gaming world and no doubt the most unique and historically relevant find of the past decade as far as collectibles go. It's the first fricken Playstation (prototype) known to exist!
playing the nintendo playstation is definitely on my bucket list
This is so incredibly cool. I never thought I would even see this thing. I thought that every picture was just a mock up. So to see this in a video is beautiful.
And in a video from you? Dude...
I love it.
Holy shit Adam, I've never really been much of a collector of consoles, but this is a SERIOUSLY cool find. For anyone who knows their history with both Sony and Nintendo that's what would've been and it's hard to believe it even exists. My only gripe with this video is that it feels a bit out of place. This commodity feels more like a 5th gen item than a 4th, but otherwise great video once again. Nice work
I had the honor to play this awesome piece of gaming history a couple of years back at my first Portland Retro Gaming Expo. The game was Street Fighter II and I played 3 rounds with some other random con attendee and won. It's something I don't think I'll ever forget.
That small console essentially passed the torch from Nintendo to the Sony Playstation.
Terry's you're wrong. It really should be in a museum. If someone buys it and shoves it in a personal display never to be seen again, that's just wrong.
I honestly think this prototype deserves to go to somebody willing to continue the legacy, and it ain’t gonna be Apple Macintosh Centris 660av guy with an Iomega Jaz drive over here.
Never clicked a video so fast in my life! Great content Adam. One of the most ( If not the most ) historical consoles in gaming.
What a cool guy! I'm glad this fell into Terry's hands
Now let’s clone it sothat everybody can get a piece of it.
That's so cool. Glad it ended up with someone who appreciated it and not in a skip somewhere.
Just now finding out about your video thanks to your Lost in Cult article. Awesome work and thank you so much for getting Terry talking and showcasing this things wild history!
Thanks for reading!
They need to make casings out of these to people can make replicas out of Rasberry Pi's
Wow that was a great story about how he came to have it. Amazing piece of history. Great vid mate.
"...and i hope you enjoy it.." hell man, i always am! Many thanks for the time n effort! I love these obscure vg history!
I kinda forgot there was an actual physical version of this
200 were made, there could be some other one sitting in a storage locker somewhere.
There isn't, long story short, that was confirmed during all this.
@@AdamKoralik Thank you for showing us it and hearing a bit about it
@@AdamKoralik Were they all destroyed by Nintendo personally?
I’m glad I got to see it in person :)
The main thing that mattered about the SNES CD is it ended up in the right hands
Only way to top that little display would be if the Sega Pluto would have been next to it.
13:56 crystal Pepsi and the Nintendo PlayStation together
Great video, Adam! Thanks for the work you do. I really like the interview with Terry.
"Has my DNA on it." And the bids have GONE UP. -Matt
This is a dream if PlayStation and also tender would have work with each other
I just hope that the person who buys it is as cool as Terry is, the type who takes it to conventions rather than puts it in their private collection never to be seen by the public again. Either way, Terry does deserve the money he'll make off of it, and I hope he had an amazing experience traveling everywhere with it.
The real reason Nintendo broke the deal was because they thought people would use the disk tray as a cup holder.
The Holy Grail of video game systems. Cool review on the SNES Play Station. I'm looking forward to the news of this console being sold. It's an incredible story. Polymega should really market the SNES-PS1 combination of their system so all gamers can have some type of SNES PS1 box. What a magical thing.
So much history, so much of an impact on video games in one small console. The back story makes it better!
You know it's legit cuz its yellowing like the actual SNES lol.
Mr. Koralik got his hands around the neck of the Loch Ness Monster!
Damn I wonder where it eventually ends up. Something tells me somewhere in the Middle East where it eventually gets blown up when shit hits the fan. Why is Ben Heck not mentioned ? He is the one who got this thing up and running
Just an oversight.
I've actually thanked Ben in a lot of podcasts and at all of the Expos/Cons that I've been to!
Great vid man, you definitely made this piece of history go out with a bang!
Interesting how they didn't notice the front bottom section with the controller ports, is hinged. This means that it's a cover that can open upwards. I wonder what's behind the cover?
Awesome interview Adam
Great video, thanks for making it and preserving the history of this.
Awesome thanks for the video I wish I could buy it to put it in the video game museum
Dude it does not belong in a museum. it should still be out in the world like it has been since he found out what it was. That way the most people can enjoy it the way they have been, getting to hold it, take photos of it/with it and play it too. it makes me made the people thinking put in some museum. Not everything especially something like it belongs in a museum. If I owned it I would do the same thing Terry Diebold has done sharing it with the world as should have been.
This honestly belongs in a museum
See right around the end of the video.
Adam Koralik haha I was still watching the video, I mean like actually bought by a museum and treated honorably, he definitely deserves the money for it
This is the content i love from you and why i subscribe to you're Channel. This and you're recap serise.
Some guy got one of these working on a UA-cam video a bit back. This is worth a fortune. Big adam in the house
I wish he sold it to that guy for US$1.5M but US$300K+ bid price, isnt' too bad. I think it beat the Apple 1 board, bid price.
to quote Indiana Jones.
It belongs in a museum!!!
Adam you are one lucky bastard!
There is a way to preserve this in a museum and for Terry to get his money at the same time. Terry can start a kickstarter for it to be donated to a museum. He can set a goal of a million or two million dollars and once the goal is hit, he donates it. He can also charge $10 a person to take a picture with it and play the system and make his money that way and donate it.
I can't even imagine the internet ramifications of that.
I really don’t think anyone should care about the internet trolls as long as the system is preserved and Terry gets the money he wants for it. They will eventually get over it.
I have played on this console when I was at the Sac Gamers Expo 3 years ago, and I am still finding out new things about it like the source code to develop games for it. I really hope it stops by Sacramento one last time so I can play Super Boss Gaiden.
No, you didn't. Stupid lie.
You can Google it and play it on your computer for free!
@@terrydiebold2284 I know, But I believe it was originally made for that console. I could be wrong on that though.
If i owned it i would put it in a museum with a tribute to Terry
Holy fuck I just thought he was going to discuss it and he pulls the fucking console out.
Didn't the thumbnail make it obvious? :P
Adam Koralik I wasn’t paying enough attention. Just focused on the title I guess. 😂
Before watching this video I didn't know it's working and playable. Nice work!
terry is great i barley had herd of it, then ran into him with it in Canada was honored to spend a couple minutes with it playing street fighter
Wait hold on. Why does everyone think the Sony Nintendo PlayStation is a myth if Sony announced the thing back in the early 90’s?
Different era, no real proof, and Sony constantly denied it was true.
What a dude. Delighted for him, deserves to make a million off this!
Glad I got to see and play the snes ps console.
Great video of the device that gave us in roundabout way gave us the Sony PlayStation. The only question I have is, if this thing came out... What kind of games would we have gotten? Would Nintendo in their next hardware have gone the disc route? And would the PlayStation as we know it been made a Nintendo/Sony console? Man just thinking what that means, Final Fantasy 7-9, MGS, Crash, Spyro... and more on a Nintendo console in the 90s. That just seems odd.
Anyway rambling a bit here. Awesome video Adam as usual thanks for making it. And a huge thank you to Terry for sharing this unbelievable piece of gaming history. I hope he gets all the money he can for this, but I do hope this Play Station prototype goes to someone who will care for it and respect it.
Sadly if this was ever released it would have been too expensive to sell well. Cartridge was King in 1991-92. The Sega CD & Turbo Graffix CD did sell as well as the Genesis & SNES. Most people would only buy the core unit, very few would buy add ons. Even now a base console will sell more that the enhanced versions. The SNES Play Station like the SEGA CD was too ahead of its time. Gamers want one format, disc or cart. A unit that plays both will be more expensive to produce.
@@FlyiDCG I get what your saying, but this has (or would have had) a full SNES on board. However, I wasn't exactly saying this unit anyway. I was saying something more on the level of the Sony PlayStation 1.
I hope there are some more homebrew games made for it. I would like to see what this thing can do.
I'm surprised that people around the world didn't start a fundraiser to indeed have it placed in a video game museum with some sort of agreement that the museum can't sell it back.
People don’t care as much as they claim to be.
@@Ryuujin1078 Then if they're not willing to put their money where their mouth is, they should STFU.
One thing you forgot to do in the video is thank Benjamin "Ben Heck"
Heckendorn for working on the disc drive and the community, his fans for
helping him getting it fully operational. Without him that part might
still be nonfunctional.
Simple oversight.
it's alright, it's a easy mistake to make. Just thought I'd point it out to you ether way.
Wow, that is a rare piece of gaming hardware. It's a good thing that Sony and Nintendo did not merge. How much is Terry selling the prototype for?
Remains unknown
16:27 looks like Dr. Jones has already contacted him
@AdamKoralik you need to get ahold of an original Xbox prototype and do an interview with Seamus Blackley. That would be an amazing Video!
It's on display in Redmond.
Great video bro
Awesome! this prorotype should really end up in some museum or something
Now imagine what would happen if it actually worked out back then.
The original cross-play console
Kind of, except PlayStation games don't play in this unit, but you can play audio CDs & SNES games simultaneously!
It must feel so legendary to... touch it.
I'm.amazed Song don't want it, unless they already have one. This is the birth of the PlayStation. I wonder what it's worth. 100,000? 250,000?
They already refused offer of 1,200,000$
Bruh, that’s a weak estimate.
@@MrSuperVikingo He wasn't far off with his estimate, it sold for $360,000.
I can't believe the PlayStation combo reveal took place......... as well as the whole spat between Sony and Nintendo started at the Summer Consumer Electronics Show........in Chicago.
Why has no one 3d printed one yet?
But the first idea was a CD add on for the snes, people always cut that
I did mention that it was the Super Disc AKA SNES CD.
Wow you lucky duck. I wish I could have played with that but hey you still got to document it for us to all enjoy. So thank you.
This story is so fucking rad.
Looking forward to PS4 and XBox One 6 year birthday vids. Definetly a highlight of my year.
Adam thank you very much for sharing this
First comment! Hey Adam I've been a fan of your channel for years and appreciate that you still are making content. Keep it up!
R.I.P terry we will remember you.
Best rundown video of this console
Yep. Seems to me that bad boy is in need of a little UV case whitening treatment to restore its glory.
There is a development unit of this that requires a Super Famicom for it to work, pictures of it have been around since 2002
I thought ben heck fixed the damn thing. Is the snes part a 1 chip or 2 chip?
He did, and I'm not sure.
Amazing. I hope whoever ends up with it treats it well.
is it cool? sure.
is it 1 million dollars cool? hell no.
