10.)Phantom
9.) N-Gage
8.)Virtual Boy
7.)3DO
6.)Sega Add-ons-sega cd, cdx, 32x
5.) Atari Jaguar
4.) CD-I
3.) Atari 5200
2.) Tiger R-zone/game.com
1.)Gizmodo

Go to the link to hear the coments for each system they mentioned.

This one sucked! How did the 5200 rank higher then the Jaguar along with the Phantom being mentioned since it was not released?

The sega addons should've been seperate. They got the fact wrong with the 32x, be called a cd machine that get hooked by the genesis to play cd games. I own a 32x and it was hooked by the sega genesis I own and it ownly can play cartridges.

The add-on they were claiming that plays cds is called the 32x cd. You needed Sega genesis and Sega cd componets besides the 32x in order to play cd games.

What's up with every loser videogaming site that no one cares about coming up with top-ten lists of stupid shit these days?

But shame on this list for ignoring the 1292 Advanced Programmable.


...word is bondage...

Game Trailers is a pretty good site. You don't have to call it a loser site just because you don't like their list.

Most of the list is pretty good. Maybe the 5200 is too high, but it's still not a great console. The inclusion of the Phantom and Sega add-ons is fine. Most of their top ten lists aren't supposed to be taken seriously, and neither is the criteria for being eligible for the list in the first place, hence Phantom being there. They also have a list for the top ten sets of video game boobs, so take this stuff with a grain of salt.

Wow, this is a horrible list. Several of these aren't even consoles (why do they always do that?), and the rest of them aren't even that bad. Any list of the worst consoles needs to include Halcyon Interactive, Odyssey2, RCA Studio II, Emerson Arcadia, Commodore CDTV, etc. Are Jaguar, Sega CD, and 3DO really worse than those? I say hell no.

The N-Gage sure has its faults, but god damn...how can you hate on a system with two Pathway to Glory games, Rifts, Catan, and Glory in Death?

Really, when you factor in the quality to crap ratio of released games, the Gameboy/Color/Advance are much worse systems

Good point.

People who write lists are number one on my list of untalented, uncreative assholes.

[Poofta!]

i enjoyed that list. i thought it was quite funny, and frankly, the order doesnt matter, they all blow chunks.

I agree

10.)Phantom - shouldn't be here, never existed
9.) N-Gage - The second iteration of the N-Gage was far better and had better games.
8.)Virtual Boy - it was innovative. too bad it caused headaches.
7.)3DO - one game of WC 3 or Star Control 3 is good enough to remove this console from the list.
6.)Sega Add-ons-sega cd, cdx, 32x - I enjoyed my SCD and 32x. I don't understand this.
5.) Atari Jaguar - I still want to play a Jag.
4.) CD-I - This deserves to be here.
3.) Atari 5200 - I wore my 5200 out playing Countermeasure and Star Raiders.
2.) Tiger R-zone/game.com - a modem does not a handheld make.
1.)Gizmodo - It had promise, too bad it didn't make.

This list is essentially worthless, but, gametrailers markets to TODAY'S gamer, who doesn't know much about the truth in classic gaming.

I can't believe that the 5200 is #3. Yeah the controller stinks but I love my 5200.

[outsider]

I agree with most of the list, but the Virtual Boy and N-Gage don't belong IMO. Both systems have their share of quality games, with few poor titles. I've always wished that the VB would have been given more time.

[Slate]

The virtual boy does NOT belong there. >

Sure it caused headaches IF YOU PLAYED IT A LOT, But it's an interesting system and has some good games!

[k8track]

I finally got a Virtual Boy last summer, and it is awesome! I love my Virtual Boy and it does not deserve to be on the list. Neither does Atari Jaguar by a long shot.

What a warm fuzzy to see my very favorite system (Atari 5200) at number 3. (In fact, I just got Adventure II in the mail today, so I'm gonna be busting out the ol' 5200 right now!)

I can't believe that the 5200 is #3. Yeah the controller stinks but I love my 5200.

Agreed. I've got nothing but good memories when it concerns the 5200, my very first videogame system. I was the only kid in my neighborhood that had one and the other kids came over to play it!

They got to get traffic somehow. Most of these sites only get mentioned when they do a list like this. Otherwise nobody would ever visit their pages or mention them in a thread.

Typical video game web site fan boy drivel:

"That does it! I'm sick and tired of being a nobody on the internet video game fan food chain. I should start a video game web site tonight and do a top ten list of the "Worst NES Password Screen Music of All Time." I'll even pull the entries out of thin air with no regard for logic. Put Castlevania II at #1, Goonies II at #2, Metal Gear at #3, Mega Man 2 at #4, Faxanadu at #5, River City Ransom at #6, Castlevania III at #7, Kid Icarus at #8, Metroid at #9 and Zelda II at #10. Oh, Zelda II didn't have a password screen? Who cares!!! . I'm gonna post this bad boy right now, sit back and watch as the hits roll in. Everybody will be talking about me on the message boards and I'll get a huge reputation online."

Well the true top 10 worst consoles wouldn't go over well as relevant content because most who frequent gametrailers.com (I visit from time to time) wouldn't know/heard of most on the list (such as Astrocade, FMTowns). For us this list should read "Top 10 Worst-Mainstream Consoles".

Still can't figure out why Phantom is on the list? If it's there shouldn't it be ranked higher (worse) than the 5200? At least the 5200 was released... and supported... and furthermore played, sometimes loved. I don't get it. *shrug*

[c0ldb33r]

I may not agree with their decisions, but man... they totally lost credibility when they said the 32X was CD based. WTF?

edit: And also, they ranked the Atari 5200 below the CD-i? Are they on dope? I don't love the 5200, but at least its got some fun games.

edit 2: Wow, the Gizmondo's got some great graphics. Do the budget versions still require you to watch the commercials? How's that work now that the system is dead?

[Gentlegamer]

Maybe they were thinking of the 32x enhanced Sega CD games.

[7th lutz]

Maybe they were thinking of the 32x enhanced Sega CD games.

I was thinking the same thing, because the regular 32x was a different animal then the 32x with the sega cd and genesis together.
