The "Real" Worst Console Ever

[staxx]

My vote would be the 3DO M2 for the worst. Pricewise and what software you can buy for it, if any.

I'm sorry, nothing can be worse than the R-Zone

I want one with the R Zone sweat shirt. I will do a mod on that controller to use the Genesis Activator instead. Now that would be badass...

Virtual Boy, 32x and Sega CD worst systems of all time? You must be joking, they are far from it as all three systems have AAA titles.

Game.com and R-Zone are definitely the worst of the worst, there's nothing redeeming about those systems. Jaguar is definitely worse than VB 32x and Sega CD as well, although that had Rayman and Tempest 2000.

Yeah. Yeah. True, Sega 32X had a handful of good titles. But that's it.
I have tried a few VB games and while a few were indeed cool, ANY SYSTEM that makes me bloody eyes water after 15 minutes sucks balls.
Nintendo deserved the ridicule and humiliation for that one.

And I think the Jag was horrid, it had about the same amount of games as the Sega 32X, with a similar percentage being pretty darn good titles.

Glad someone agrees with me, in a round-about way, that the Sega CD was pretty sweet.

I have to disagree about the Virtual Boy Fantastic_Duck. I don't know if I'm the only one in this situation, but I have never experienced eye strain from my VB and I have played Wario Land for upwards of an hour and a half at a time with no problems. I also think that while VB was seriously flawed in a lot of ways, it was a unique system with a couple of really cool games (Wario Land, Mario Clash, Teleroboxer, Jack Bros) and it just gets a bad rap because it's cool to hate it. That being said, Sega CD is indeed an awesome add-on if you find the right games.

Sega CD was indeed an excellent add-on, not only that, it featured great games, and was revolutionary as it popularised CD console gaming...no, PC Engine did this not....

Well I'm a Sega fanatic so I really enjoy the Sega CD and 32x for what they are (I actually prefer the 32x to the Sega CD but that's just me, I really LOVE Knuckles Chaotix, and all the arcade ports on there, especially Star Wars Arcade, and Sega CD has Sonic CD, Eternal Champions, Silpheed, and Snatcher along with some great RPGs) and the Virtual Boy is also a very enjoyable system for me. It is a tad straining at times and hard to see what's going on sometimes, but nonetheless the games are very good.

I'm not sure if the Jaguar had as many good titles as the 32x, but I think it had a lot more bad ones in comparison. 32x did have some crappy games, but Jaguar has some of the WORST games of all time, namely Club Drive.

It is not really fair to include the M2 in this conversation, since an actual console version was never released to the public. Besides the 3-4 arcade machines, the FZ-35S is basically the only functional, standalone M2 system that was available to the public (kiosk unit used in car dealerships and similiar). Dev units and the like were available (FZ-21s, FZ-DR21, FZ-55, etc.). No M2 games were released for it, though enthusiasts have developed/released some games in the past few years that will run on the FZ-35S.

Well I've heard a lot about the Atari 2600 Jr. Compared to the original model it seems that it was really cheaply made and breaks really easy.

Yeah, including the 3DO M2 is ridiculous.
