Pippin was a multimedia console released in 1996 as a collaboration between Apple and Bandai. It ran a modified version of the Macintosh operating system and was designed primarily for gaming and educational software. Due to its high price, limited software library, and competition from established gaming consoles, the Pippin was a commercial failure. Apple discontinued the system in 1997, making it one of the company's most obscure products.
