Worst consoles of all time.

Interesting list that I thought I'd share. Never even heard of a few of these myself.

I'm sure we can find at least one good/decent game for each system. Also, I must laugh at the hyper scan
The hyper scan is hilarious, but apparently, it's been getting some homebrew...
Re: Worst consoles of all time.
The Apple Pippin was actually pretty funny. Looks like they beat Microsoft to the console wars after all. I guess that means that I shouldn't look forward to the iBox.
Glad to see the Tandy on there, though.

Re: Worst consoles of all time.
I do not think there is a good game for the game.com. I played all the ones I had, none were good.
which is sad, because Sonic Jam looked really good, it was just slow and refreshed badly.

Re: Worst consoles of all time.
Interesting read. I also remember wanting a Game.Com for Sonic Jam. Thank God I didn't make that mistake.
I was kinda hoping to see a console on there that I would like to get as a sort of obscure relic that I could at least occasionally use at parties, but all these seem to be completely devoid of value. At least the Tandy has Links on it.

Re: Worst consoles of all time.
Ah the memories, especially the Ngage (taco power activate) and the CDi. The only other good things about the CDi is that it can play vcds and that it can do fmv in full screen unlike the SegaCD.

Re: Worst consoles of all time.
it's interesting that a lot of these failures were actually good, forward thinking ideas. In theory, the Pippin, the HAL, CD-I, NGage, etc were all good ideas that were probably just too ambitious for the time.
