I remember wanting so much to get the mega CD because games like Sonic CD looked amazing vs the basic genesis/megadrive version.
I also had the 32x and loved virtua fighter but I never put them together to make this beast!
What more weird consoles do you love and remember and what games did you play?

Jurassic Park Sega cd was super popular with buddies who came over
Does Game&Watch count? haha
I still remember the handheld 1 game donkey kong console!
3DO. It was so expensive my brother and like 4 of his friends bought it, handed it around for like 2 weeks, then returned it. The Need For Speed on it blew any game graphic at the time out of the water.
Sega cd was awful
32x should never have been released. This was a in fight between Sega in Japan and Sega in America.
Sega in Japan had released the Sega Saturn and the 32x was released shortly thereafter.
Sega DreamCast – not really a weird one but it was a pretty rare console and looked a little bit weird to my eye back in the days 🙂 Sadly, the console stopped evolving like it’s main competitor – PlayStation, DreamCast was in the same tier as PS1 but the graphic was better as it seemed to me.
Barcode battler baby-what a con
Probably the weirdest console (assuming handheld counts) I had was the Tiger Game.com. The games I remember playing were the built-in Solitaire, Lights Out (which came with the device), and Wheel of Fortune.
I also did have a Virtual Boy. I actually didn’t feel any of the negative effects of it (probably because I was too young to notice the discomfort), and I liked the crispness of the pixels and 3D effect. The games I played most on it were Mario Tennis, Wario Land, and a bit of Red Alarm.
For 32X I had Shadow Squadron, Tempo, and Doom. I haven’t gone back and played the first two since because I want the nostalgia to remain.
I currently own a Sega CD, I’m working on finding the 32X
I had a Virtual Boy. I had three games – Mario Tennis (which was amazing), Wario (which was meh) and some generic baseball game. I remember enjoying the hell out of it at the time but it must have looked awkward and no doubt contributed to my awful posture.
The original souls game….. sewer shark….
I had an Intellevision and I bought the voice module for it .
The Vectrex, played Mine Storm and Berzerk a lot
Action Max
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Max
VHS tapes, light gun games, we had 3 of the 5 tapes released for it.
Hydrosub: 2021, a futuristic underwater voyage;
The Rescue of Pops Ghostly, a comic haunted-house adventure;
Sonic Fury, aerial combat, bundled with the system.
We had a Philips CD-I when I was a kid. I remember playing some Sesame Street game and a few others on it. It had a remote looking controller as well as a boxy one with a giant blue track ball in the center for kids.
i still have my turbographic 16 w/ cd player and like 35 games …
My first was the Magnavox Odyssey 2. Thing had a keyboard on it. I remember thinking that thing was so futuristically amazing.
The SEGA Nomad! Full-size games on the go! I loved that so much, even if it did devour batteries. It was excellent that you could plug it in with the regular console’s wall adapter.

I also had a 32X, but only had Virtua Racing.
I would have to say Sega CD, but Sewer Shark was great!
I had an R-Zone with virtua fighter….it was terrible.

Had a Commodore 64 with the tape drive and a lot of game tapes. And the iconic red joystick.
I had a Turbo Grafx 16, I had to have Bonks adventure. A couple of other decent games for it.
I had an Adam Computer Colecovision. Played choplifter on cassette drive a lot.
not sure if it’s considered a console, but around 5 years ago i got an ar headset that only played a star wars game.
In the box, it came with the headset, a lightsaber which was the controller, a thing where it put the enemy. the headset didn’t have a screen or anything, so you needed to download an app on your phone and put it in the headset.
Only used it for a phew months because the wire that connected the phone to the headset broke, but it was really good while it worked.
I had some very obscure stuff that is rarely talked about today.
I had an Action Max, a VHS system that wanted to be a game console. All the games were fake lightgun games as it didn’t use a real lightgun. When a target showed up the player pulled the trigger and that would score a point. It didn’t actually know where the targets were located as the VHS tape was completely separate from the console. Instead there was a thing that was stuck to the TV over a target that was always on screen. It was nothing more than pull the trigger when the white dot appears, no need to aim at all. Here’s Pops Ghostly. The bottom right is the target that’s always on screen. [https://youtu.be/udyM9b2ESus?si=Oypm7PXYbZCTNp82](https://youtu.be/udyM9b2ESus?si=Oypm7PXYbZCTNp82)
I also had a VTech Socrates, a console that only had terrible educational games. [https://youtu.be/lb5Im7lwc6g?si=laL6BBYubuuNJjN_](https://youtu.be/lb5Im7lwc6g?si=laL6BBYubuuNJjN_)
Finally I had the Texas Insturments Voyager. No, not the calculator, the voice activated headset. [https://youtu.be/gctVrZzCa-s?si=kU6xueLe8BU01dG2](https://youtu.be/gctVrZzCa-s?si=kU6xueLe8BU01dG2) Not a game console but in my memory I got this mixed up with the Socrates so it counts!
