Miles Tails Prower Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 My two favorite systems that no one else liked are the Sega Saturn and the Sega Dreamcast. What about y'all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bez Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 What ya mean by no one else?! The DC ruled but MS paid them some $$$ to stop production -> giving them exclusive xbox rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCold Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Well I'd have to DEFINITELY say the Sega Saturn, it kicks major ass. I also think the sega 32x was kinda kewl too, but isn't one of my favorite systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckandCover Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 I have been a long time fan of the Odyssey 2, although a lot of people don't care for that system. Carts like Attack of the Timelord and Quest for the Rings still have a lot of magic for me. Kinda funny hearing all this talk about the Sega Saturn. I've recently come across a couple of good deals (I think) on Saturn systems, and have been wondering if the console was worth the investment. I may need to really consider purchasing one after all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z28in82 Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 I was one of those who did not speak so well of the Saturn and DC but I do like both systems, I just didn't care for the way Sega handeled those systems. I own both systems and think they are good but I just think they coulda been much better if sega had stood by them a lil longer. But back on the subject I have to agree the Odyssey2 is a good system that apparently gets no love. I had one as a child and had to go out and overspead to get another one but there are a few good games that are there. just a few ramdom thoughts, Z28in82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 32X It's just such a twisted idea AND an amazing upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscott Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 i'm prepared to take some mocking for this... i LIKED the game.com, seriously i picked it up for cheap at best buy just before they disappeared from the shelves. it was sort of a challenge going to all the stores in the malls and tracking down the games at the sunset of its short life. i used to play duke nuken, sinistar and mortal kombat on the train home from work every night. well then i got a nomad and serious collection of dead AA's and...

TheSmirk Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 recent underdog system.....Dreamcast SMS was cool but was heavily overshadowed by NES Whats with Sega and the underdog status?!? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I've never known anyone who didn't like the Dreamcast, so I can't say that... The Jaguar is definitely my underdog favorite... I've always liked it. The 32X is kinda nifty too, but it doesn't exactly make my top-ten list. I still really want to get a Vectrex... --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariKen64 Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 turbografx 16/turbo duo. this hting didnt have many games, but alot of the later titles were awesome. it also was the first to attempt and all cd format and had the best portable system until the gba, just alittle too pricey(though it ensured quality), too japanesey(for some) and too poorly distributed in the face of genesis and later snes in 1990 it was my system and nothing else mattered itold kids at school what i owned and it was mix of laughs and huh's when i said turbo grafx 16 i bought games for it up until the end in 1995 when they just stopped making them and dissapered from the used racks quickly, but its still near and dear to me.

Atari_Never_Dies Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 my cousins friend had a sega saturn, he threw it out the window.. and i also found a dreamcast at a yard sale for 5.00, but i hate them, so i left it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 i also found a dreamcast at a yard sale for 5.00, but i hate them, so i left it.. Yeah, well, no matter how much you hate it, you could have sold the thing for at LEAST $10, if not $50 or more. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Never_Dies Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 i consitered it, but he was also selling the 3 controllers separate for 5.00 each, and the hookups, 2.00 each, the 3 memory cards, 2.00 each, and the 2 games 3.00 each.. not worth it at all, and i would have lost money.. i should have stated that before, my bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari-Jess Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 the n64 :S I liked that system a lot but anyone who got one always would either sell it and get a psx or keep it, but buy a psx I like the carts, i still dont like CD's and now DVD's :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I got an Aquarius for Christmas one year. As a computer it pretty much sucked, but Treasure of Tarmin Utopia and Night Stalker all rocked compared to their Intellivision counterparts.

DuckandCover Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 There were some awesome titles on the 3DO. Always thought it was an underappreciated system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 I'd say the Saturn. lovely machine. Oh Bez, that rumour about Ms paying off Sega is so not true. I don't know where that started. Ms don't have exclusive anything with Sega - who are currently making more money than they ever have (which is why they ditched hardware) making 3rd party titles. And the vast majority of their new cash has come from Super Monkey Ball on GC anyway. Sega have never been so sick as to need Microsofts money.

moycon Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 I agree with christianscott on the game.com. I picked one up from Kay-Bees for 9.99 and the games were .99 Its kind of a slick little handheld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 I'd say the Saturn. lovely machine. Oh Bez, that rumour about Ms paying off Sega is so not true. I don't know where that started.

And the vast majority of their new cash has come from Super Monkey Ball on GC anyway. Sega have never been so sick as to need Microsofts money. your right that they don't have exclusive rights, but MS DID buy out Sega with the DC, MS and Sega have been in bed together ever since the DC with windows CE and MS DID INDEED cut a deal with Sega to drop the DC and wanted them to do exclusives for the xbox only, but Sega wouldn't go that far...but you can bet your salary that Shenmue II is never comingout on any other systems besides the DC and XBOX, as well as several other titles...the thing is that Sega stated long before the release of the DC that it would be their last system anyway, so it was no biggy for them to cut a deal with MS and drop it early. I can dig up quite a few articles about deals between Sega and MS, but I don't have them handy right at the moment...But I am confident enough to BET MY LIFE that Sega and Microsoft cut a deal that got the DC dropped early, Sega didn't mind because it wasn't selling as well as they had hoped anyway. SEGA WAS PAYED $$$ by MS to drop it and make SOME exclusives (like Shenmue II) for the Xbox, but the deals made were for the UNITED STATES only, which is why games were still released for the DC in europe and japan. Microsoft offered to buy Sega off COMPLETELY...they made the same offer to NINTENDO too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
