This reminds me of how John Carmack programmed the Quake engine with an insanely rare and expensive 100lb 1080p CRT back in 1994/5:

Adjusted for inflation it would cost somewhere in the ballpark of $14,000 today.
Two things...
that must've been the only 1080p CRT, and mid 90's? What the heck? (medical monitor or something?)
Edit- I think there were some Sony PC CRT Monitors that were 1080p..could be wrong.
I wonder if I can find that Next Generation Shirt.

VGA CRT monitors could go up to 2048x1536, which is common for 21" 4/3 monitors. I don't think bigger displays with higher resolutions were made. widescreen CRT monitors were very uncommon, but I believe 1080p was easily attainable. The ratio really took off at the same time as LCD panels, so CRTs never quite got the time to shine in that respect. Some widescreen CRT TVs could do up to 1080i and 720p, but they're TVs.
This is one of the dumbest posts I've ever read2 million for an HDTV? I can get one for like 50 dollars lmao.
I'm not the brightest when it comes to technology.
Wow just fucking wow this is one of those all time finds like the Nintendo Playstation proto.
It ran on Iron Man (Tetsujin) board.
i thought bomberman saturn was the first to have 10 players mode
So Saturn Bomberman's 10 players high res mode came from this it seems. Amazing.
this game reminds me of playing 12 player bomberman on my saturn (i have no idea how i was able to get ahold of 12 controllers back in the day, let alone 11 people for couch-coop)

Bad news guys: Meijin confirmed it is just an audio CD with the music of the game, not the game itself. It seems the original game was stored on a HDD, still lost.

one would think the recipient of this disk would've tried popping this thing in a drive to look at the data and reported it to Cifaldi before making this announcement?

It was a different time back then. Zero thought was given towards game preservation because it was assumed no one would want to play old games after their generation had passed. That goes double for arcade and niche projects and triple for tech demos.Sorry for bumping this thread, but I cannot help but feel hopeless about this game ever being recovered and one day emulated. It is one of those holy grails for me.
Is all hope really lost?
This is also my number 1 reason for hating Konami. I blame them for not preserving this treasure that Hudson created.
How will you feel when you find out Konami likely had nothing to do with how it ended up?This is also my number 1 reason for hating Konami. I blame them for not preserving this treasure that Hudson created.

Sadly Meijin hasn't commented about this since that day, so I guess this is on limbo again.
Also let's take in consideration that there is still a lot of things to do first if they find the HDD: as far as I know the game worked on an unique HD signal because at the time there were no HD standard, it isn't like you can just connect it with a HDMI port and that's it. They probably will need to find that TV too and I think it wasn't owned by Hudson but by the two game centers in Japan were they do the test (that doesn't exist anymore, both of them).

It's just a prototype since the game was canceled prety early in development but stuff like this is found all the time.
So there's always a sliver of hope
