Worst Gaming System Ever Made.

Hello Everyone. ArenaMaster89 here to try and find peoples opinions on the worst video game system ever made! We will add up the votes and see which gets the highest. If you vote other or the Atari systems than tell which other or Atari System you have in mind.

The Arena Master

I'd go with the Virtual Boy. The 2600 didn't seem bad, I LOVE the Dreamcast, and I never played the 3DO. =P

This poll is dumb, you can't put multiple system under one choice. The results will be meaningless.

WTF is the dreamcast doing on the list

No love for the Pippin?

Believe it or not the Dreamcast has been in the worst selling on some lists. I have also heard from many people it is not a fun system.;)

The Arena Master

Definitely the Virtual Boy. I can still feel my retinas burning! Whoever thought that searing red was the way to go in a dark environment was a good idea needs to be punched. That, and you always looked stupid when you had the goggle lines all over your face when you were done.

I'd rather have the Wii on that list than the dreamcast.

Gizmondo, hands down. Not only this but the leader of the project had relationships with criminal orgainzations.

any new gen system... (PS3, XBOX 360 and ofcourse the Wii)

why? well (IMO that is!) the new gen systems aren't gaming consoles anymore they've got INTERNET! unlike gaming consoles as nintendo 64 for example

The N64 and its greatness as you mention got little over 200 titles. Heck it didnt even have a BIOS.

Many people lied to you.

My vote goes to CDi.

The 3DO wasn't bad, it just had bad games.

The Sega systems were very far from bad. They were all great systems and the first to release in each generation. It's just that Sega always invested too much, too early, and ended up getting one-upped every time by the competition. That said, the Saturn and DC managed to build up amazing libraries before their deaths. The 32X and SCD were just Genesis perhiphials that had potential but got wasted due to shovelware and lack of developer interest.

The Atari systems were pretty good back in their day. Granted Atari had a penchant for overmilking their consumer base, but the Atari 2600 and it's successors in and of themselves were hardly bad systems.

The Virtual Boy was a design fiasco but it at least had a novel idea.

IMO the worst system would be the ngage. There was nothing redeemable about that system whatsoever.

Pshhh who doesn't love a taco phone? x_x

you obviously are ignorant to the truly bad consoles

and what the hell are most of the SEGA consoles up there for?

They all had far better game libraries than the other choices, except the add-ons maybe

The Atari Jaguar CD

James Rofle talked about it in an AVGN episode. It never worked, even after a guy who was an expert with fixing consoles couldn't get it to work.

I'll go with the Atari 5200, for all the Jaguar's flaws, at leas the controller didn'tbreak after only a few minutes of gameplay, and it's library wasn't just 2600 games with better graphics, and of course at least the Jaguar didn't have a fire hazard disguised as a TV Switch Box/RF Adaptor

I feel that the Atari 2600 and Dreamcast should be put in as legendary systems instead of the worst. I can't really say the worst because there were many unrecognisable consoles that came and went that there would be too many to count.

Ill say either the Virtual boy or the Philips CDi... And Why the Saturn and Dreamcast are up on that poll is beyond me :|

Many people lied to you.

Indeed they did.

The Dreamcast was far from being a crap system, in fact it actually beat the PS2 in many aspects (ram, anti-aliasing built into the system's hardware, ratio of quality titles vs. crap tiles... at least in my opinion...), it just failed mainly due to a lack of foresight by Sega. The Saturn was also underappreciated as well, most likely due to it being an excellent 2D system in a time in which 2D games were fround upon.

And while some say the Jaguar was terrible, I find it to be a system worth owning for one reason: TEMPEST 2000

this list is horrible. half the consoles are actually good.

The poll is stupid as you have to vote for multiple consoles as the "worst gaming system ever made" so I'm not going to bother voting.

Personally I'd say my worst system is the Grundig Interton

I'd also like to say that the 3DO and N-Gage are not bad systems, sure they're at a much lower level to the mainstream popular machines but both had enough good games in different genre's to keep their owners entertained (unlike the CDI and, probably the Jaguar too I guess)

I'm thinking the cd-i for it's bastardization of Zelda.

The Virtual Boy was a bad idea.

I had a lot of fun with most of the others that you mention.

atari 5200 played games that played like everything else on it ,

The 3DO

and what's up with the dreamcast on that list? The dreamcast was pretty good, what were you thinking?? :o

Domino_slayer

If you bother reading MY FIRST POST then you would know that if you voted one of the systems with more than one in the category that you should write down on your post which one in the list you did not like.

The Arena Master

The CD-I. It didn't have a single game worth talking about.

Actually Atari 2600 was pretty good at it`s time.I think it was da best in it`s gen.IDK anything about 7800,but I know that 5200 and JAG were awful

I'm go with "other", those consoles that are remakes of original hardware. Because all the others I loved at launch, who didn't say "I need one of those" when the Virtual Boy was introduced.JReefer1

Anyone here remember the Atari Lynx? That was before my time but like it was the first color handheld.NicAgent

Phillips CD-i

cow_whisperer

The vtech systems. I swear, one day those things are going to be theequivalent of cd-is,but worse.

The psp and playstation+ xbox NINTENDO RULES
