...and even more game development hardware

Well, this seems to become the ‘theme’ of the last few days… (old) game-development hardware… I’m really not sure what my main attraction to it is, but it’s all so magical or something :-)

Somehow I’d like (and probably have more fun with) such an old system better than some new console... for which people (or penny arcade) decide to line up... and/or massively overpay on ebay...

Anyways, the top game-development-setup in my humble opinion (and I sure don’t know every dev-system out there) still is (and I’d love to own one, which I don’t by the way… (yeah, a couple of Indys (Indies?) but no Ultra64-developmnet-board (and it really says ‘developmnet’ on the board! how about that! ;-)) this SGI Indy + Ultra64 development-board with a complete Nintendo64 on there…

And now I start to wonder (when I came across this last image)...

...this Xbox kit is actually called a debug kit instead of a development kit… (insert joke here) would their development Apple G5’s also be called debug-units? (insert another joke here, preferably even lamer) :D
