Worst consoles of all time.

[RCBH928]

If you are talking about total crap
sure Jaguar+3do are not
but those systems listed are so crappy no one knew they even existed or even care . You can't win owning these systems. Its like burning your money really.

As for those who say that 3do is a decent system, I recall it being cool and all when it first came out(Mad Dog Mcree, one size fits all) , but you have to name me atleast 20 titles with scores 7/10 or above to make a console worth purchasing in my own opinion. Can you name that many titles for 3do or jaguar?

I don't know that anyone said 3DO was that great, just that it had more potential and more games than many give it credit for. To be sure, by most objective measures it was failed hardware.

I don't suppose I could list 20 well reviewed games for the 3DO. However, I could easily list 20 games that I loved to play on it. I don't put a lot of stock in game reviews or movie reviews..I like to form my own opinion.

I got as much enjoyment out of my 3DO as any other system I have ever owned.

Need For Speed
Gex
Cannon Fodder
Crash N Burn
Star Control 2
Samurai Showdown
Hell
Guardian War
Alone in the Dark 1 and 2
Corpse Killer (Cool back then)
Captain Quazar
D
Escape from Monster Manor
Flashback
Horde
Myst
Out of This World
Return Fire
Road Rash
Soccer Kid
Slayer

There are a few other titles I enjoyed...but I logged some real time on all of the above. So did a lot of my friends and they loved them too. Maybe they haven't aged well but I sill like most of them.

Well, this thread got a little bigger than I thought it would... Anyway, we should all get Hyperscans and play together sometime soon!

I always confuse the 3DO and CDi.

1. Virtual Boy - It's been labeled as a "portable", but let's be serious here, it's not like you can pull out your Virtual Boy in a car or in a crowded waiting room. It's a console. And it's a terrible one, at that. If a console gives you headache after playing, and give you tracers in your vision for several minutes afterwards, it's a failure. Not to mention it's miniscule game library.

2. Phillips CD-i - We had one of these in our science class in school. We often played "edutainment" games that involved science and some mystery you had to solve. But I also got to have a taste of the some of the terrible FMV games, and played one of the cringe-worthy Zelda games on it. So freaking bad. You can tell this console was made by a bunch of guys in suits that just didn't get gaming.

3. Intellivision - It may have had better graphics than than the Atari 2600, but that terrible contraption they called a controller killed any potential it had.

4. Atari 2600 - I know, many gamers are gonna call blasphemy on me since this is the console that really launched the modern-day console industry and many, many genres of games were created on it. But I just find a good majority of it's game library to be too simplistic. And the sound on it is just cringe-worthy bad. Some of the sounds that come out that machine are ungodly. Plus I'm not a big fan of joysticks, especially Atari 2600's stiff-as-a-board joystick.

5. Nintendo 64 - It's not actually a terrible console. It's just my least liked Nintendo console (other than the Virtual Boy). And most of that is due to it's terrible, awkwardly shaped controller with the worst thumbstick ever made. It kills the gameplay on so many otherwise great games. And the console was lacking in 2 of my favorite genres: shoot-em ups and RPGs.

4 year bump?

[indecks]

Probably to make room for the Wii?

[BurningDoom]

4 year bump?

Damned if I do, damned if don't.

Whenever I post a new thread, I always seem to be shown an older thread that already exists, no matter how old it is.
