Cronus Invictus: An Alternate Console Wars (Something a bit different)
- Thread starter Thande
- Start date
Now that's a film to seeIn this world rather than directing saving private ryan Steven Spielberg will direct its equivalent in Red Alert univers
Looks like Nintendo of America won out when it came to naming the franchise, and by the sound of it they only released one version at launch. Should I hazard a guess, and guess the the future edition would be called "Microbeasts: Fire"?

What a brave, new console world it is. Considering I had a Super Nintendo, and then a Playstation IOTL, I would probably have an Ultra Nintendo (This name kicks ass), or a Atari Leopard (Too bad Tomb Raider doesn't have Lara Croft ITTL). The other consoles are nice and well, but I was not even 10 by this age, so my parents wouldn't have bought all console for me
But I'd like to know what Sony is up to. Maybe they are finally entering the console race...

So no one has ever made 32 bit cartidge games?
The capability seems to be there, I'd have imagined some companies for at least one game as an experiment would go for load speeds over storage/cheapness.
I like the duel console/duel cd side idea. Odd how you don't see duel siders so much IOTL though.
And for the reecord I rather liked Sonic 3d. It looked absolutely amazing to me at the time, I couldn't believe it was the mega drive I was playing

Some Predictions for the TL's future
Later versions of Windows
Windows Version OTL Version
Windows 4.1 Windows 98
Windows 4.5 Windows ME
There is panic about Y2K, but that doesn't cause any issues just as it didn't in OTL.
6th Generation Consoles
?
Nintendo: Something similar to the Gamecube. Possibly keeping the x-NES name scheme going.
Sega: Something similar to Dreamcast?
Atari:?

I'm seeing ATL Windows 98 (and future versions) being more gaming focused, since Microsoft entered earlier on the gaming war. This might even hurt the compatibility of the other OS, more than OTL, making them less important.
Or maybe the opposite, with someone releasing a true gaming OS for the PC, with exclusives. Now that made me think...
Atari: Hm...what about Snow Leopard?

On a more serious note, given the cat names...how about Tiger, or Lion, or Ocelot? Actually, Ocelot sounds really good.

Maybe Revolutionary Nintendo Entertainment system?
And for Sega, keeping with the Planet names, maybe Uranus or Neptune?
And lastly Thande, what about the Wario Land series?

I actually think, if we're keeping of the names of certain Biblical books in North America, the Sega Exodus sounds pretty awesome...
Yeah, it does have a ring to it.

They never did that though. They only did it in America as their chosen name was already copyrighted.
Funny they would pick a religiously themed alternative in America though
