Tired of the same old high-selling commercialized crap? Do you yearn for the unnatural, unloved, and potentially unholy world of knockoffs and failed consoles? Well we have just the section for you!

Apple Bandai Pippin

Apple's attempt at being relevant to games. It failed. Vintage review

Amstrad GX4000

A consolized PC. System Overview

Casio Loopy

A Japan-only game console designed for girls, focused on printing stickers. A Magical Shop add-on allowed for the printing of any screenshot, not just Loopy games. Drunken Printing Demonstration

Dendy

The NES, but for slavs. Only Kinaman can properly explain this one (turn on CC). Has some support in MESS.

Mattel Hyperscan

Something you would expect to see under a bargain bin at Wal-mart, the Mattel Hyperscan was a card/disc based system released in 2006 to appeal to some poor child's aunt at Christmas. CGR Review

Memorex VIS

A beautiful monster sold only at RadioShack in the early 90s. Overview

Nintendo iQue Player

An official game console released in China in an attempt to stop piracy in the region. Unsurprisingly, it didn't work. It's basically an N64 clone with no original titles. Overview

RDI Halcyon

A terrifying machine based on HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey, featuring voice-recognition and AI learning. Its failure bankrupted RDI. Demonstration

Super A'Can

An extremely rare Taiwan-only console released in 1995. Overview and Game demonstration


Handhelds

  • GP32
  • N-Gage / QD
  • Gizmondo
  • Tapwave Zodiac

Tiger Game.com

An infamous piece of shit, with quite possibly the worst screen on any handheld ever. Somehow still had a port of Resident Evil 2. CGR review
