Murphy's Super Box

The Super Box (Japanese: ALTOプレイ Arutopurei ALTOPlay) is a fanonical game console made by Travis4205 in collaboration with JustAlex93.

It was developed by Murphy's as the successor to the TLB2 console. It was released in late 1990 and was eventually discontinued sometime in 1998.

An eventual successor for the 5th generation, the 32-bit (later 64-bit) EngineWave, is released by mid-1995, the EngineWave was very capable of handling 3D polygon graphics, something that most other computers in it's time (including Super Box and TLB2) has no ability with.

Details
Seeing the advent of the 4th generation of game consoles with their 16-bit power, which would inevitably lead to the obsolescence of the previous generation systems, including the TLB2, the members of the TLB2 Development Team at Murphy's went to the drawing board to develop a 16-bit system of their own. Looking at the current line-up of 16-bit machines and their capabilities, they developed a console to specifically compete with them. Not only was the Super Box designed to have great, almost arcade-like graphics, but also scaling and rotation capabilities to confidently give the SNES a run for its money.

The Super Box Controller has a more comfortable shape, the face buttons are the same A, B, C, D buttons that were from the TLB2, but now in diamond formation with the addition of Shoulder Buttons, labelled X for the left shoulder button, and Y for the right shoulder button.
