Machines that flopped. A consensus.

To celebrate our love for rating the worst of the worst and to commemorate Fantastic Four for giving us a plethora of jokes and punchlines for the year 2007 I felt like we should come to a consensus about what machine wears the crown for most abysmal piece of trash ever.

My vote is the Virtual Boy.

I've included only machines from recent memory. No Atari 5200 here.

Man, there's no Nintendo 64 Disk Drive on there.jim_shorts

I've played every one of those systems on there, and they all suck bad (with the exception of the Sega CD, which sucked only slightly). And like other people said, only the Virtua Boy was capable of hurting the user after excessive use. My head ached for an hour after playing like 5 minutes of that crap.

*Edit : Oh yea, it was in the stores for literally one week where I am. Came in, had a little section devoted to it, came out instantly afterwards. Kinda swept under the table by Nintendo and anyone who sold it.

The dirty little secret basically.

The n gage floped a full 360.

While I could have easily included machines like the TurboGrafx and the CDi, I felt like we're going for the absolute worst. Other machines mentioned have been either too recent (Playstation 3), had too much success based upon these standards (N64), or simply did not have the marketing and all around hype surrounding them like these five representations did.

Turbografx was only a flop on the level of the Sega CD, or just slightly less of a flop, at least that's how I see it.

Where's Gizmondo?blizzvalve

After the ties it had to the mafia were exposed, it got canned. I have a few ancient Game Informer mags that have advertisements for it, and I get a shuckle everytime I see them.

But combined the Add-ons of the Sega Genesis have established new levels of suckiness.
