With the exception of my CDi, I enjoy all of my consoles, so I guess thats the worst. There are some that get a lot less playtime, mainly because I dont have many games for them (PS1, PS2, Virtual Boy, 3DO) but I still like all those consoles. In fact, all of my consoles get far less playtime than my GBA SP, DSi and 3DS - I just like portable gaming best I reckon. Its convenient, I can play games whilst my girlfriend watches TV. Thats why I'm so excited for Wii U.

I do have an Amiga and a Commodore 64 I've never played, but both were recent acquisitions, and I don't have all the cables. I'm not even sure if they work.

Like Ack, I kinda like all of my consoles. Lots of people bash on the 3DO and the Virtual Boy, but I think both are pretty awesome. The 3DO's controller is actually one of my favourites, as is the virtual boy's, and I have one or two games for both I really love. As for all the people bashing N64 in this thread, it just happens to be one of my favourite consoles. I think there are plenty of good games for it (more than I'm ever likely to be able to play through) and I personally find the controller just fine, if not the best controller ever.

I don't hate it, but the worst system I own is the PSP because it doesn't work. A few years ago when it stopped working I got so frustrated with it I sold all my games for it, and got a DS, which I am happier with.

I have to say, words are words, but I hope nobody actually blatantly hates one system or another.

They all have something to offer. :D

Even the funstation 3. I'm sure it has all kinds of pirated classics and hilariously bad clones on that 1 million cartridge. :lol:

Edit: It also looks pretty nice, considering what its copying. Although, you probably can't use it to beat someone to death like you would a PS3.

That was dark...

Because you generally feel that you have to justify your purchases somehow; I don't think there's really a bad system.

Best possible spin: Even if the "1,000,000 games" cartridge is utter crap, the system still has more great games available than the real PS3.

Two-Hours? That's a bit of an exaggeration. It's more like 5-6 hours. Still not the greatest, granted. But this can be fixed with an AC Adapter which is very easy to find because it's the same one the model 2 Genesis and the 32X uses. There's also a car adapter made for it, but I've never used it.
