What crappy game systems did you own?

I had a 3do in which I played Kingdom the Far Reaches on more than was worth it and an Atari Jaguar. I don't know why I bought the 3DO. I think that it was on sale at Babbages though. The Atari I got as a gift and it was one of those gifts that you don't want but had to pretend that you did, because of who bought it for you.

I owned a 3DO (Panasonic FZ-1). I owned an Atari Lynx. I owned a Sega Nomad (which I honestly still kind of liked). I owned a Sega Saturn (same deal, objectively pretty crappy but I had fun with it).

I had the choice between the Game Boy or the Lynx during Christmas of 89. I chose the Gameboy solely because I could get more games at the time for it. I feel that I made the right choice.
 


Consoles? I haven’t had many:

Pong (with extra controllers)
Atari 2600 (many games & special controllers)
Wii

Yes, all were purchased new. I’m old.
 

Ah, I saw the title and rushed here to say "Gary Gygax's Cyborg Commandos" before I realized it was game consoles not RPGs.

I had an Omega-2, which predated the Atari 2600. No cartridges, it was sold with a selector switch for the four games it had. Pong was one of them, the other three I believe were variants.

Yeah, get off my lawn. ;)

All of these were solid systems. At least two of them were solid systems, Pong was just a single game, but for 1975 it was pretty good. At least from what I've heard. I'm old but I'm not "I remember when we purchased Pong" old.

A friend of mine owned one and I couldn't play anything for more than 5-10 minutes. He bought it and several games at a severe discount when they were still fairly new.

I think the worse console I had was my Sega CD. The game selections weren't great, but we had Night Trap, so that's something.
