SEGA Homestar Planetarium; the only in-home planetarium...

Who would have thought that SEGA would have another go at home hardware entertainment?

This one looks very interesting.

Oh yes, the new Sega system. 100 times the CPU power of the PS3. 128-pipeline video unit. Built-in BD-DVD and 1gigbit router.

Actually, Sega, and other former game hardware makers, are very much in the business of making "home hardware entertainment." Look at the gadgets at Toy's R Us.

Actually the real planetarium here in Athens city is very impressive & the new digital one they install 2 years ago is supposed to be the best in Europe & one of the best in the world.
I remember watching 3 show-presentations when I was young on the older analog version back in 1987 & I was shocked of how cool & realistic it looked.

I think I’ll have to watch the newer shows when I have time. One of them is called “The Time Machine”, it should be interesting judging by the name.

I seem to remember a similar (but obviously MUCH slower) program I purchased for my son when the Atari 800 first came out...
