The Sights of CES: Photographic Evidence :)
- by Jer Horwitz
All of the following photographs were taken by me unless otherwise noted.
Araiser2.gif: This shot of Actraiser 2, taken at Enix's booth, has a reflection
in it, but is better than nothing... I hope. Terrific detail.
Edge16.gif: A blurry (sorry) shot of the new 4800BPS AT&T modem, the Edge-16.
Konami.gif: This is a shot of the Konami booth at the show.
Marioyos.gif: A large Nintendo balloon of Mario and Yoshi.
MegmanX1.gif: This shot of Mega Man X (SNES), by Capcom, is one of very few
taken at the show. Although it's blurry, Capcom wasn't allowing
any pictures of the game (something I found out after the guy
behind me was stopped by a Capcom rep before he took a shot).
It's Mega Man fighting a giant bee; giant robotic animals are
still a large part of the game
MegmanX2.gif: This shot of Mega Man X is blurrier, and needs some explanation.
Behind Mega Man is a large bridge, drawn in 3-D and coming out
at you. In the foreground are large street lamps. On this
street area, the ground beneath you occasionally crumbles and
cars drive out at you (nicely drawn).
NHLCup.gif: Nintendo's truly excellent NHL Stanley Cup Hockey for the SNES;
this shot taken from Nintendo's press kit photos.
NES2.gif: The redesigned $50 Nintendo Entertainment System; this shot
taken from Nintendo's press kit photos.
Nintendo.gif: A wide shot of the Nintendo pavilion (this is only showing the
Nintendo products), Yoshi's Safari etc. to the left, and FX
Trax to the right. In the center, the Nintendo dome, where a
5 minute laser/movie show (using 3-D glasses to view laser-
polygons superimposed on a movie screen) took place.
Panasonc.gif: This is a shot of the Panasonic booth at McCormick Place East,
where the main 3DO demos were all being given. The large area
shown here is where 6 or 8 systems were set up, and a huge
video screen was displaying choice segments of a 3DO video
tape. A man stood in the center of the display, speaking to
the crowd about the future of gaming and the virtues of 3DO.
Philips.gif: The Philips CD-I area at McCormick East, away from the main
video gaming area (which was in McCormick North).
Sega1.gif: The arcade games Sega was showing; to the left, on the Megalo
machines, 2 Sonic The Hedgehog arcade games (sorry, no pics)
which used a 3-D overhead perspective like Viewpoint (Neo-Geo)
and swift 3-D polygon objects; to the center/right, an 8-person
Virtua Racing. Behind the VR machines, you may see a little of
Sega's AS-1 simulator.
Sega2.gif: This photo of Sega's pavilion is among the best of the photos
for one major reason: If you have a high-res GIF displayer,
you can zoom in on some of the important Sega exhibits, like
the Sega-VR booth near center, etc.
Sega3.gif: Another area of the Sega pavilion, which focuses on the Sega
Sports part of the show.
SF2HF.gif: The Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting (Turbo) display, with a
large screen full of arcade SF2HF shots and some kiosks with
the SNES version. The Capcom booth is also visible; note that
this is on a *trade* day... Another shot I took of the fourth
(consumer) day has this entire area mobbed with lines of people.
Surprise.gif: Jer's vote for dopiest gimmick at the show. Enjoy!
3DO.gif: The system, under glass, at the 3DO booth in McCormick East.
TTI1.gif: One look at the TTI booth; their large multi-screen display which
highlighted certain games (like Might and Magic 3) and some kiosks
to the left.
TTI2.gif: Madden Duo Football on screens to the right, kiosks with Working
Designs' games to the left. This is to the right of the last
photos.
VVision.gif: Virtual Vision, the sunglasses with the TV screen built in,
being displayed.
Worldbbl.gif: Sega's World Series Baseball, a grainy shot taken from a Sega
press kit slide photograph. A very impressive game - this is
grainy, but accurate on the character proportions.
