Not a game. Nintendo to Sony the day of the PlayStation CD add on project. Nintendo backs out day of and goes with Phillips. Sony makes PS a console and N64 sticks with Carts and rest is history.

I dunno about that. Nintendo did have some very good legitimate reasons for backing out of it.

Sony wanted more control than Nintendo was willing to give. Just Nintendo ditched them very last second and went behind their backs to make a deal with Phillips.

I'm not saying it was the wrong move just saying Sony was betrayed and Nintendo seemed unwilling to work a deal out. Hoever I truly believe had Nintendo gone CD Rom. PlayStation would be another Panosonic 3D0. Sticking with expensive carts wit limited space was a death sentence and SEGA really screwed up with going into a panic and adding a second chipset making it a nightmare to program for. (kinda funny tho everything we use today uses more than one core CPU)
