The 1991 "X-Box"

Jim Hall writes "Back in college (1991), I wondered why no one had bothered to make a DOS-based game console. One day, in the back of a notebook, I made some notes about how you might go about creating a DOS-based game console. (I even called it an "X-Box", but really the "X" was there because I didn't know what else to call it. Microsoft's current "XBox" console is completely different, and I don't claim any rights to the "X-Box" name.) I've posted some scans of my notes, and a discussion about how you would create a DOS-based game console."

If it really was 1991 and this guy was smart enough to put together a "DOS"-based game box, don't you think he would have known not to use spaces in his filenames? - Strike Three - Yer Out!
Worst episode -er- article ever!
