Definitely the NeoGeo AES - I remember almost picking it up at Software Etc back when it was out, but the price tag on the carts was the deal breaker. ($200 per cart, for those who don't remember)

Mostly Harmless
Basically, these. I'd also have liked to played on the Satellaview and Sega Channel back when they were active. Also a 64DD.Originally Posted by ownerizer
Other consoles I'd probably like to check out but woudln't necessarily push for; the Jaguar, the Wonderswan Color, Phillips CD-i, A Pioneer Laseractive with the Mega-LD (or ANY actual laserdisc-based-videogame-thing.), the Advanced Pico Beena, and the Capcom CPS Changer
I've been lucky enough to pick up a lot of oddball systems locally in thrifts and flea markets over the years, but there are a few that elude me. A Neo•Geo would be nice, a Neo•Geo CD would be better (I've got a King of Fighters game for it already). I have played an Amiga CD32 briefly at a couple conventions, and have always wanted one since I was an Amiga user. I used to want an Emerson Arcadia 2001 console, but then due to the graciousness of our own Phosphor Dot Fossils, I now own his boxed one.
I'd love to get an Amstrad GX-4000, but they aren't exactly easy to find here in the US. I'd also love to even see an Adventurevision, but I'm beginning to think it's just a myth repeated so many times that everybody has begun to believe it really exists. I have run across the TurboExpress a couple of times in the '90s, when I didn't have enough on me to get it, and that still burns me.
Probably Turbografx-16. Also, I see a lot of people saying the vectrex, and I think they are awesome. I don't own one, but have played one that is why I did not choose it.

Vectrex
64DD
Virtual Boy
PC-Engine
Ditto, exactly the same for me, except I'd go with the 3DO before the TG16.

Out of curiosity and not for the quality of the games, I hope.I own a Laseractive and love it to pieces, but it's definitely not a console with a great library.
Pretty much the Neo Geo.
I would still love (in this order):
3DO
Vectrex
Neo-Geo/NGCDZ
I had an NGPC from 1999-2002... Probably had 6 or 7 complete games incl. Ogre Battle and (english) Faselei! but sold the lot so I could buy my first car. Good times! I still miss playing SNK vs. Capcom on the machine with its wondrous "click-stick".
The only ones that come to mind for me are X68000 and FM Towns. I've at least played just about everything else out there, except for a few that I have zero interest in.
Vectrex
Neo-Geo AES (played a lot of Neo CD though)
Atari Jaguar
3DO
Wonderswan
Neo-Geo Pocket
currently, the only consoles I am interested in getting right now that I have NEVER played:
Odyssey (original 1972 model)
Adventure Vision (I want, but doubt I'll get as the price is VERY restrictive!)
Amiga CD32
This list was bigger a couple years ago, but in that time I've got: Vectrex, Fairchild Channel F, Arcadia 2001… (my other console purchases in this time are ones I've played before I got)
Finally got to play a Vectrex at CGE a couple years ago and it definitely lived up to my expectations. Great system. Still don't own one, but I'd like to at some point.
Never played a Microvision, but that would be cool.
If you can't do it with 8 bits, you don't need to do it!
The Sega Saturn is probably my top choice here. When it was new I was a kid coming from the genesis and only had a playstation as the households console, that coupled with no one else that I knew having a Saturn made it a unknown for me. I've always had an interest in it for that reason however collecting for it seems kinda expensive and I'm not sure if it would have enough games to really hold my interest for long.
The TG16 and NEO GEO are also on that list largely for the same reasons.
Been there.
I remember the wide-eyed looks I got one year when I brought both a Sega Saturn and an Atari Jaguar up to my college campus (year: 2001) in full view of a dorm full of people who only owned PS1's.
I've always wanted to play the Jaguar, 3DO, and Neo-Geo.
I remember all of the magazine's having the articles on the Jaguar, and how expensive it was going to be. Always wanted to play it but knew I'd never get it when it was released.
Never knew about the Neo-Geo until I was older, and always thought the big carts were cool. Plus I've always loved fighting games, so it seems like it'd be a fun console to play.
I could say the Amiga CD32 even tho I owned one (an NTSC one at that) because I never got the games I wanted for it, and most of the games I had wouldn't display correctly on my TV (since most of the games for it are PAL).
Or I could say the FM Towns Marty, a system I do plan on owning somewhere down the road. Likewise I could say the Playdia, a system I WILL own, and not just somewhere in the distant future like the Marty. I came close to owning one this year, actually, but couldn't justify the bid.
But the thing is, I haven't wanted these systems for a long time, and it seems like that's what the OP is getting at in his post. I can't think of a single system I wanted as a kid that I don't own now (including the 3DO that I bought a game for back then and held onto for years until selling it... then getting the system a year later). I mean, I'd sure love to have a computer to run the old adventure games on, but I can't claim to have not played on one, or not to have owned one even (my dad owned one, but I didn't bother w/ playing stuff on it at the time because I had a Genesis).
I've long desired a good "old" laptop PC with either DOS or an early version of Windows to run some old PC games on. My search continues to come up empty. Always something wrong with every old laptop I get a lead on.But the thing is, I haven't wanted these systems for a long time, and it seems like that's what the OP is getting at in his post.

Casio PV-1000 and 2000.
"As you traitors roast in your own juices, I will be safely ensconced three miles below the earth's surface, listening to my wax-cylinder player and enjoying a delicious phosphate!"
What comes to mind lately for me are the MSX, 3D0, Saturn and Dreamcast.
