Obscure and/or failed game consoles

[Nixon]

I was reading about the Dragon's Lair arcade game when I stumbled across this:
The Halcyon!

More on this amazing gem.

Have any of you ever seen one of these? It's sad and hilarious that it retailed for $2500 back in 1985.

RDI Video Systems claimed that the system would be entirely voice-activated, and would have an artificial intelligence on par with HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Well, I guess they had to try to convince people to lay down 2 and a half large on their crummy gaming system.

I still have an Atari Jaguar. It's not obscure but it sure failed.

Re: Obscure and/or failed game consoles

HOLY CRAP...that thing had TWO games for it.

How much were they, 500 bucks apiece?

It's hilarious how incomprehensible that system sounds when it is talking, considering that's all that it was designed for.

In b4 a Jeroak diatribe.



I actually think the PS3 is the best system since the Dreamcast, personally.

Only because you refuse to get a basic PC.

Re: Obscure and/or failed game consoles

Wow, yet another lame PS3 joke. How predictable can you guys get? Instead of taking the easy way out, how about you actually add something interesting to this topic instead of just re-hashing the same crappy fanboy jokes?

INNOVATION!

Wait. What'd you say, Nix? I wasn't listening.

Re: Obscure and/or failed game consoles

I don't know if this counts, but one time I found a bizarre bootleg console that looked like a computer keyboard with controller ports to accommodate really cheap-looking controllers that felt like they were completely empty. I'm not even sure if it could connect to a TV.

It had a poor drawing of a Pikachu and Raichu fighting on the box.

Also I had a Panasonic 3D0 once. My favorite game on it was Putt Putt Joins the Parade. That s*** was tight.
