<div class="IPBDescription">It popped up on the net a few years back</div> I remember around 2 years ago or so there was a website called www.seganeptune.com and it was suppose to be Sega's next big console (back then) and it only had 2 games for it. Someone found a warehouse with like 100,000 of them and was selling them on the net with the 2 games, anyone else hear / remember about this?

    The "Neptune" was the codename for the 32x, i think.

    If I'm correct it was supposed to be a cross between the Genesis and the 32X. As far as those 2 games go, I have not a clue as to what they are. Also, I tried Googling a pic of it but all the pics are of the 32X.

    It wasn't the original name of "Sega CD" was it? I had that crappy thing and it came with 2 games.

    You fool.

    It was an April Fools joke. From Classic Gaming .com if I remember correctly. Or maybe EGM...

    uh... hate to break it to you guys... but it IS real...

    I have been a BIG sega fan, and own nearly every sega consol, dating to the first one I got (my origional Genesis) to their 2nd line of Sega Genesis (the 32 bit one) the Dreamcast, ect, including the Neptune...

    I still like my Atari better than the Neptune though cause the games for the Neptune suck SO badly... they are like... hell... i can't even think of what to compare em to...
