Revision as of 17:04, 5 October 2018
Terror T.R.A.X. was announced for Pippin on Bandai's website in 1997, but was only released for Windows.[1]
Many Pippin titles were not released, despite having been announced or developed for the Pippin Atmark in Japan, or the Pippin @WORLD in the United States. Bandai CEO Makoto Yamashina (山科誠) had originally expected to launch about 200 CD-ROM titles for Pippin consoles, with an emphasis on teaching and learning.[2] 128 titles had been announced in marketing brochures that promoted the unveiling of the Atmark at Macworld Expo Tokyo in February 1996.[3]
Bandai abandoned the Pippin platform on March 13, 1998, less than two years after its market debut.[4] Some finished titles were released on other platforms such as Macintosh, while others were cancelled outright for various reasons. A few difficult to track projects were left with uncertain fates.[5][6]
Titles released on other platforms

The following titles were listed on Bandai Digital Entertainment's Japanese or American websites or marketing materials until the Pippin platform was officially withdrawn.[1][3][7] Though many were shipped for other platforms, their release statuses for Pippin consoles are uncertain.[5]
