Favorite Obscure System
 

The Dreamcast is an obscure system? It had two or three years of good sales and popularity and at least a year and a half at the top.

Hmm... obscure. How about that system that was a headband with a led screen placed in front of your eye. The games sucked but that was genius if you ask me.

I remeber that...

Intellivision. I don't know anyone who knows what it is. It was a great system, though.

Dude, atari Jaguar, the first 64-bit system. Made after the super nintendo, it was atari's ploy to dethrone the corporate giant that was nintendo. Atari had a 16 bit system almost ready, called puma or panther or something, but they decided to skip it in favor of big memory bragging rights.

The problem was that while the system supported 64 bit gaming, the cartridges of the day couldn't quite hold all that information. Thus, graphical quality was maybe an ounce better than the nintendo, until you got the disk drive adapter. Also, the controller is huge, it has a big calculator style number pad in the middle. The system at first cost $300, back in the day when that was crazy. Disk drive was like $100 bucks or something. The atari people screwed up bad. But some of the games, like "Evolution Dino Dudes," and "Zool" (which I think was based off a candy company) were awesome.

Jesus, that one came out so long ago...

EDIT; and I remeber some of the commercials for it, and its freaking me out.

what was great about the Jaguar, was that only the first few models were actualy 64-bit processors. as processors of that quality were so expensive at the time, Atari had to downgrade the system to two 32-bit processors. Then, as sales continued to fail them, they couldn't even afford those, so the final Jaguars were powered by four 16-bit CPUs.

didnt the controllers have like a big panel of buttons on it that looked like a touch-tone phone?

Does game gear count as obscure? I still have mine....sadly...

Oh yeah, and Virtual Boy...I almost had a siezure every time I played.
