A tale told only by those who asked for a Konix Multisystem for Christmas 1989, but never received one. But this console did exist, and it was incredibly close to launch. The Konix Multisystem was such a novel and impressive games console that it actually could have changed gaming forever, had the Japanese not been so terrified of it. Join me, as we delve into the story of this unreleased, cancelled, forgotten console; The Konix Multi System.
