Atmark Town (アットマーク タウン) is a CD-ROM-based online communications suite which was bundled with Pippin Atmark consoles in Japan.[1][2]
Features
Edit
Users navigated a virtual 3D "town" to access e-mail, chat, forums, games and news features.[2] Online connection was handled through "Pip PPP".[3]
ReleasesEdit
Version 1.0 was first released by Bandai Digital Entertainment on March 28, 1996 with the launch of the Pippin Atmark special "Network set" (「ネットワークセット」) in Japan. When a lower-priced base "Pippin Atmark body set" (「ピピン＠アットマーク」「本体セット」) was introduced on June 15, 1996, Atmark Town became available separately as part of an "optional Internet Kit" (「別売インターネットキット」).[4]
Version 2.0 became available later as a individual update.[5]
