You might want to check out Paul Bourke's discussion of higher dimensions:

http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/polyhedra/platonic4d/

Here he displays, among other things, a 2d projection of a 3d projection 
of a 4d object with "600 tetrahedral cells, 1200 triangular faces, 720 
edges, 120 vertices" -- probably the one you're thinking of.
