Description

The Pippin (Japanese: ピピンアットマーク; stylized as PiPP!N) is a defunct open multimedia technology platform, designed by Apple Computer. According to Apple, Pippin was directed at the home market as "an integral part of the consumer audiovisual, stereo, and television environment". Pippin is based on the Macintosh platform, including the classic Mac OS architecture.

Apple built a demonstration device based on Pippin called Pippin Power Player and used it to demonstrate the platform at trade shows and to the media, to attract potential software developers and hardware manufacturers. Apple licensed the Pippin technology to third-party companies. Bandai Company Ltd.

Details from sources

Apple designed the Pippin multimedia/game platform and licensed it to third parties; Bandai was the main licensee. ATMARK (Japan, white case) and @WORLD (North America/Europe, black case) are Bandai's own hardware built on that licence - manufacturer is Bandai under licence from Apple, marked here as `licensed`. en.wikipedia gives two different month pairs for the launches (JP 'April 1996' in one place vs 'March 1996' for ATMARK's colour note, and NA 'November 4, 1996' vs 'June 1996' for @WORLD's colour note); both are kept in the release field rather than picking one.
