Worst consoles of all time.

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

OH GOD I just realised N-Gage was a pun for "engage".
Anyways, I think it may be unfair to add the infamous Sega add-ons because they're not technically consoles but add-ons. And they probably still have some decent games.
N64/NES/FC/SNES/SFC/GB (SGB)/GBC (Black)(SGB)/FDS/Satellaview/Genesis/Mega Drive/Master System & maybe N64DD/GBC/GBA.

:lol:

And the DS stands for Dual Screen....mind blown yet? :P

Hm....the Sega 32X can probably be considered a bad system. Sega CD though was half decent. Better supported, longer time out. I wouldn't call it a horrible system. I'd buy one if they weren't so expensive to find in the wild today :(

They didn't used to be. About a year and a half ago, I got one for 30 bucks or so. Unfortunately, it doesn't work (it powers on, I get the bios screen, the laser moves, but the disc won't spin) and now it seems the price has doubled, so I haven't been able to afford a replacement. Sigh.
I'm not a glitch, I just have pixlexia.

The Sega CD is perfectly fine, with some incredible games to boot.

On the one hand, I'm glad not to see the 32X being mentioned lately. Warms my heart.

On the other hand, anyone who mentions the VCS as one of the worst consoles of all time is insane. That's another one of those "even if you don't like it, you can't reasonably argue that it is one of the worst ever."

On one hand, I agree with you. Star Wars 32X was amazing when it was first released.

I would say its a tie between Atari Jaguar and Panasonic 3DO. Normally one would probably flat out pick the CD-i, however the CD-i wasn't actually meant to be a console. It was supposed to be a low budget computer.

Can't tell is self-deprecating joke or not...

Yeah it was a crappy "media device" - not a real console. Kind of like the Xbox One.
