Back when NEC made the PowerVR series 1 chips for the Videologic Apocalypse 3D(x) and Matrox M3D addin cards for PCs, there were press releases regarding Namco's Tekken and Rave Racer at the PowerVR website. I remember printing out those press releases which I grabbed from the website. Also Namco's System 33 was supposed to use multiple PowerVR chips, but they changed their plans and went with System 246.
