Forgotten consoles of the past. - Overclock.net

Growing up I played with the more mainstream consoles NES, SNES, GBC, GBA, Genesis, PS1, N64, but there were many consoles I never heard of at the time. I didn't really get into the gaming culture until the N64 days and that's when I heard of the PS1 and got it, but such things as the Sega cd add on, Neo Geo, Saturn etc I never even came across ads for. So I am wondering what "forgotten" consoles did you guys have and what games did you spend the most time playing.

Examples such as, TG-16 (and cd add on), Virtual Boy, Sega Saturn, Atari Jag, CDI, 3DO, 32x, Sega CD... I think you get the idea

007 Goldeneye . on my N64 , gangstered out with the almighty "expansion pak". hahaha what an upgrade.

Great game, and I didn't know the upgraded expansion pack did anything for that game, but a N64 is hardley a forgotten console. I was thinking more like consoles that didn't sell well like Saturn, Neo Geo, 3DO etc

I remmeber playing my TG-16, I had 2 games I remember alot: Bonkers and Spaltterhouse. I remember this other game but cannot remember its name at all. It was futuristic but with knights and swords... man I dunno it was along time ago.

My neighbor had a TG-16. I liked playing bloody wolf and Keith courage. My aunt had a 3D0 and a colico vision that she gave me later on. The colico vision had controllers with joy sticks and the buttons looked like a phone. It had a bunch of cartridge games like donkey kong, frogger, kangaroo, pac-man.

The virtual boy was garbage. I only remember playing it at target. The local game trader had a Neo-geo and just about every console at the time. You can pay them $0.50 to play any game for half an hour.

I was a proud owner of 3 Atari Lynxs and an Atari Jaguar. I don't remember any of the games I had, but they were both great systems.

I had a ColecoVision with about a hundred games with 3 different styles of controllers, sega and atari attachments to play yep you guessed it even more games. Spyhunter was by far my fav on this system. And I own a working NES, SNES, and a green screen gameboy with belt battery pack.
