===Amstrad GX4000===
A consolized PC.
===Apple Bandai Pippin===
Apple's attempt at being relevant to games. It failed.
===Memorex VIS===
A beautiful monster sold only at RadioShack in the early 90s. No known emulators, but its software may be playable on Windows 3.x emus, as the console's OS was an altered version of that.
===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. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGT7lRptA3c Overview] No known emulators.
===Nuon===
A hybrid DVD player/game console with enhanced movie-viewing tools. Only a few games were made for the system, as the cheaper PS2 slaughtered it. There was an emulator in production called Nuance, but its author died and he didn't release the source code.
===Super A'Can===
An extremely rare Taiwan-only console released in 1995. Some preliminary support in [[MESS]].
===Nintendo Famicom Box===
A hybrid NES/Famicom arcade box distributed to hotels in Japan. The hotel would set the amount of time you could play on one token, and choose the games available.
A disc based system released in Japan by Bandai in 1994. Notably, it had a wireless controller and all of its titles were interactive movies like Dragon's Lair. No known emulators.
===Sega Pico===
Child's edutainment console released in 1993. Was actually fairly successful. Has good support in [[MESS]], but why the hell are you trying to emulate baby games?.
===XaviXPort gaming console===
Motion control system suspiciously similar to the Wii, despite being released in 2004. The kind of product you release if you have no self respect.
===Commodore 64 Games System===
Hacked up console version of the regular C64, released only in Europe. Failed hilariously due to its outdated tech (1984 hardware in 1990!), the fact that the normal C64 was already a sufficient game console, and a bad case of the nogaems.
===Nokia N-Gage===
Nokia's attempt at making a cell phone/handheld system hybrid, before mobile gaming really took off. Although it was the most powerful handheld in its time, it failed due to a high price, a terrible button layout, numerous design flaws, and its underdeveloped cell phone component. Had a redesign called the QD, but it was only slightly better. Most of its games were ports, either from the GBA or from the PS1 and Saturn. While it didn't have any standout titles, it still had a few odd original entries from big franchises such as Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey and SSX: Out of Bounds.
===Watara Supervision===
An attempt at making a real competitor for the Game Boy. Has some support in [[MESS]].
