Sadly the Dreamcast... In which I don't think the console should of been taken down like it did... Anyone recall my 1st ever post here in the Gen Gaming folder...
The Rise and fall of the dreamcast

It basically states how underated the Dreamcast actually is/was...

The saturn flopped and to right I say, It was naff... Though one question here, could you fit in megadrive games in the slot at the top back end of the saturn?

I think the Gamboy Advance Micro was flopped, You don;t really hear much or see much of them for that matter, though I'm pretty sure it was limited edition.

its a shame but the gizmondo never even got started and it looked so promising, but I think it had no software backing from any of the big players, the only thing anyone bought it for was the sat nav option

Its a shame about the micro. They are cool.

Philips CDO was a massive flop. Also, so was nGage. They were mega turd. You had to take the battery and the sim out to fit the game in. I dont think I could have been bothered.

I got told you did with the first ones, I dont know wether it got resolved with the later models or not. It had nokia written on it anyway, so it was bound to flop

There was only one game that actually looked half decent on the Ngage and that was sonic, but still sonic advance was just has better if not the exact same.

Sonic rush for DS is amazing, the only problem I got was at first I could not follow him, and when he jumped up/down the screen I was looking all over for him... I think I must of spent 50% of my life following that spikey blue hedgehog around television screens. the other 50% probably would be Mario bashing his head on blocks for coins.

I remember that... lol what a flop of all flops, What about the Sega Game Gear, that was like a portable telelvision the size and weight of it I mean, Though sonic the hedgehog was pretty decent for that also.
