3DO

One of the very first 32-bit consoles which was a failure from the start due to the ridiculously high price tag. ($800 for a Panasonic FZ-1)

The 3DO is special in that the 3DO technology was licensed out to other companies in a similar way to DVD and VHS players, and so Sanyo and Goldstar (LG) ended up putting out their own models, and others were planned. (Toshiba, Samsung and AT&T all had 3DO consoles in the making, but all three got scrapped)

The console is certainly capable of PSX level games, however it's biggest flaw was that the console was ahead of it's time - at least 2 years before the PlayStation hit the shelves. People were still playing their Mega Drives and SNESes and generally didn't bother with the high price of the console. Goldstar later released their own version which cut Panasonic's price tag in half, but the 3DO's name was irrepairably tarnished.

3DO hung on as a low-key software publisher, churning out many Army Men sequels for other consoles until they finally went bust in mid-2003.

The console is full of bad games such as the IQ-reducing Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, but there are also some very decent games:

PO'ed
Need for Speed
Road Rash
Star Control 2
StarFighter
FIFA International Soccer
and many more

Kolibri

Shooter for the Sega 32X, unique in that you control a hummingbird rather than a generic space ship. Sounds and looks beautiful, with some fantastic graphics, just like it's cousin Ecco the Dolphin on the Mega Drive. The gameplay tends to be confusing however.

Kolibri was never released on any other console.

Master System

Sega's 8-bit competitor to the NES in the 80's. Got it's ass kicked in America, however it was quite successful elsewhere. In most cases cross-platform games looked better on the Master System.

TecToy of Brazil are still manufacturing officially licensed Master Systems to this day.

GameFAQs Message Boards

A place full of losers who piss and moan about spelling mistakes and grammar (although half the time when they refer to "grammar", they really mean spelling)

Also the game boards are populated with more losers who blindly defend the respective game, and automatically label any dissenters fanboys/trolls. (anyone who doesn't like GoldenEye: Rogue Agent is automatically labelled a GoldenEye or Halo fanboy for example) Anyone who doesn't particularly like whatever game the board is based on is automatically a troll and must be banned.

GoldenEye: Rogue Agent boards at GameFAQs. There was one topic on there where the starter explained his reasons for disliking Rogue Agent. The whole thing was completely thrown off topic because of a couple of people who couldn't get over the fact that he didn't use capitals - they thought this was "bad grammar".

The Sun

N-Gage

I can't believe people are still ranting on about the N-Gage = Taco thing. Yeah, that was funny, for about five minutes.

The N-Gage is actually quite a capable, but flawed console. It's really not as hated as most people would like to think, i've seen many people at school who were never interested in the GBA own a N-Gage.
