Worst console/franchise

[Tessy]

I know no Next Gen consoles. But, I have to give my award to the 360. I had 9, yes 9, of them in 4 months. So I got out my sledge hammer and that was the end of it.

Or you could of burn it and put a video of it up on youtube.

I didnt like the N64 controller. Everything was in an annoying spot.

Its the N64, does it really matter how you button-mash? Man I liked that console.

I'd say for the handheld market the Sega Game Gear was pretty high on my list. That thing was a battery monster and was about as comfortable as the old xbox controllers.

Though while the controllers was quite impractical, the games were made of win.

GP2X is equally uninteresting to me, but I tried a Genesis emulator, the analog is of a better quality, and it's advertised as a development platform, so well, maybe people will code some fun stuff...

I recently got one of these on the cheap. Emulation of most of the older gen systems on it are great. You can even play DOS games. Try and give it another shot. I'd say its one of my favorite handhelds.

And no mention of the Nomad? Does anyone even remember that one? It was essentially the "portable" Genesis, although its about as portable as a compact car. And you would need a nuclear reactor to power that thing.

Most video game controllers are now all the same except for the Wii. You can see why they called the Wii as a whole revolution.

Worst franchise is the franchise that asks stuff like this.
Everybody has their opinion and some virtual people TYPNG LIEK DIS!!! are not going to make an impression. At least, I hope so. Frankly, anybody who takes advice from people TYPNG LIKE DIS!!! should probably be shot. Does it show I had a bad day at uni?

I don't like the ergonomy, not comfortable enough to play Neo Geo games (my PSP suits that better), and the SNES emu is still not 100% stable. Plus I couldn't be arsed into caring enough as of now, but thanks for the suggestion. As for DOS games, I am tuning DOSBox and SCUMMVM on my laptop, so it's not a big incentive...

Well the Nomad, as far as I could understand, was almost exclusive to the US market, and as such it's something of a collector item in Europe, but yeah I heard the battery ran so fast it was worse than a Game Gear (surprisingly enough the Lynx always ran quite fine and ate the batteries a bit slower than the GG).

Wilson> Try the Lynx I (the Lynx II is a bit more comfortable), you'll love the GG. I've sold my Lynx II to a friend a couple years back because he was a huge fan of Chip's Challenge when he had one. Good ideas, but basically a terrible console with nigh-impossible games (Kung-Food and Batman Returns, for instance).

But CAPS IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL PEOPLE. Actually that is right about how you should avoid people like that I tend not to listen to anyone who deems themselves to be "cool". Erhem, *Cough* Macintosh *Cough*.

Argh, curse your user name and it's quoting interfering abilities.

BUT EVEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL YOU HAVE TO STEER !

HAVEN'T YOU SEEN ENCYCLOPEDIA DRAMATICA? COOL PEOPLE DON'T NEED TO STEER!

Careful though, it contains a HUGE amount of capital letters.

Okay enough of that. It's like I am yelling at people point blank. Back on topic, ey chaps?

Spectrum +3

Just because I couldnt have one and had to setting a spectrum 128K...

 

[Vlane]

I read ED daily, but unless they rewrote the article again, they remind you that steering is mandatory, at least in the pix gallery.
Anyways it's blacklisted at work... :/

I remember being like 6 years old and wanting one..Never got it. I still want one just for sake of hving it.

what was that SEGA handheld that mainly featured a dolphin? Ecco wasn't it? That's my vote.

 

[Syphonz]

no no, there was something else I swear. Because i liked the Game Gear, there was something smaller...

You are allowed to share your opinions and dislikes on the internet, it is not that much of a suppressive regime on The Escapist. If a person says they hate pie, they can add to a conversation about it with why they hate it.

Is it entertaining and fun? I have never got to play one of them. I have just heard from past experiences that it was an abomination of some sorts.

Also, is it true there is a new N-Gage in creation or am I just turning insane?
