Weird/Rare Consoles You Always Wanted To Play

[CraigJinx]

Is there any bizarre games consoles that you never have played but always to? I have always wanted to play the Bandai Playdia, Casio Loopy, Zapit Game Wave and Zeebo. Now I am not saying they would be or are good consoles but they have always interested me.
Also, has anyone played the Playdate? Very little out there about it.

Are they weird consoles in the same sense as the ones I mentioned though?

Give me the N-Gage any day of the week.

And, really, you may laugh at it now, but combining a phone and a gaming console was fucking revolutionary back then.

Sorry, i don't notice that part.
I would say Wonderswan Color and Neo Geo Pocket Color

Yes that is certainly one I would like to give a go

Of yes for sure, all versions of Wonderswan and Neo Geo Pocket would be great to play. Have the emulators and roms but the real consoles would be cool to play.

I always wanted to play the Wonderswan and the Virtual Boy to be honest. I wonder how my eyes would take to the VB.

Pretty much my reasons to want to play these systems were the Gunpei Yokoi influence on them, I love his ideas and what he wanted to do in the industry.

The 3DO, unironically.

For the porn?

 

[Dick Whip]

Sadly, no. There's actually some games on there that I'm interested in:

Forgot that the 3DO did had some adult stuff on there, though.

Tia Carrere also did a game on there

Virtual Boy

It seems Nintendo has had a long term vow to hurt gamers. Whether it be their eyesight with Virtual Boy and 3DS or their body with the Wii.

I know absolutely nothing about it I just like the name colecovision

 

[LordeKrull13]

Odyssey, Playdia, Pippin, Jaguar, Wonderswan, 3DO, Vectrex and Ouya!

Yeah I wouldn't mind giving the Pippin a go

Dunno if it's considered odd, but I'd love to try a Neo Geo console. I've yet to see one in person. I haven't seen one in a game store ever (not even used), nor has there been any demo kiosks set up with one. Even the Turbo Grafx-16 had demos set up in the early 90's, so it makes Neo Geo the outlier.

Neo geo pocket I wanted to play this console and buy it.

 

[shaggi shaggi]

Magnavox Odyssey, Intellivision, ColecoVision, Fairchild Channel F. For short, any console that was created before video games gain worldwide popularity.

Casio Loopy has been a bit of an obsession of my fiance, I'd like to get one for us to mess around with some day, but I don't think there's much of a game library to get into unfortunately.

I really want a Playdate. I don't even know if they support that device anymore, but it's a fascinating handheld.

Magnavox Odyssey

I remember like 10 years ago turning away from a Odyssey 2 with a LOT of games for like $30 bucks on craigslist. Major regret.

They're not really "weird" in Japan but damn I'd love to fuck around with a Wonderswan.
The later Crystal version in particular:

Not really?? I would like a SEGA Saturn though (I don't think they're weird, but it's one of the top three systems I wanna play)

Brother you GOTTA get a Saturn. Get a cheap JP model and a Saroo and you have a fantastic set of exclusive games to play. Love my Saturn.
