The Pippin was Apple's attempt at a video game console.
it was a 66 Mhz PowerPC and ran a modified MacOS. The games were, as
far as I know, fairly standard Mac games modified to not need hard
drive installation so they could run off CD.
If you add a keyboard and mouse, they can be used as a computer.
Not a Newton item, but a neat Apple rarity. (They were manufactured
for Apple by Bandai, about 42000 were sold.)
