I wouldn't consider these the worst
most of these were total failures and you must be really unlucky to think about buying one of them. I say the worst are these:

3DO
CD-I
AND JAGUAR

those had some kind of a success but were terrible specially with low library of games. And people actually bought these systems

^ The idea was to make a list of really, incredibly horrible consoles, not ones which, if you try hard enough, you can find some value in. If they made a list including the Jaguar and the 3DO, it would be like dozens of lists there are already on the internet.

I refuse to consider a console 'bad', unless I play 100% of its library, and am not pleased.

I had a 3DO around launch time and I got great enjoyment from it. Lots of the games haven't aged well but at the time they were great. My friends with PS1 systems loved my 3DO as well. I wouldn't consider it a bad console at all..it was simply too expensive. Sure there are ports of a lot of the games available on other systems but in many instances the 3do port was better.

I think people that buy the system now don't get the full experience of how it was during it's time. It also had more adult oriented titles than any other system..

3DO was a great console. It had a great library. I don't see why people bash it. Jaguar was just really expensive, but some of its games were pretty good as well.

i agree. the 3DO is a great system. it had its share of good games on it that kept me busy for hours just enjoying myself. i remember playing battle sport with my dad all the time. oh and Gex was on it. the incredible machine was a great game. there was total eclipse, star controler 2, Po'd, and i remember this really cool pyrimid shooter game that i liked playing/

I'd honestly buy a 3DO and Jaguar if I found a really good deal on one, and not just for novelty value. Failures they may be, but they still had a small but good library of games that makes them actually worth owning.

I mean, Alien Vs. Predator was enough for a friend of mine to jump on a Jaguar. Personally, I'm really interested in checking out the 3DO versions of Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Samurai Showdown, as well as Star Control II.

Apple Pippin anyone?

Or the Atari 5200?

The Pippin didn't have any good games and was way overpriced, while the 5400 wasn't backward compatible and totally overshadowed by the 7800.
