So I was really into emulation and was working as a pro game dev just down the road from PsyQ in 1996. I went to visit them and they gave me a tour. They had all these super early prototypes of the Saturn, Megadrive, PS1.. every console you could think of, they had probably the first prototypes of every unit. I remember the "Pizza Box" 32X and a PS1 proto they called "The Refrigerator".
They gave me a Mega CD prototype, now lost sadly. They also said they had a warehouse with almost 200 SNES dev kits.. did I want them all for free? SURE! They called the warehouse only to find out they'd sent them all to the rubbish tip the day before :(
