My vote on worst console is the Phillips CD-I. It was all the fun of a bargain basement DVD game, only it was ridiculously expensive. Add to that the fact that system single handedly produced the worst Zelda and Mario games in existence, and you have quite a contender.
To think my school library actually had one of those...

Oh man, forgot about that one. I never owned any truly bad systems, but from what I know, that one sounds like it far "outshines" the rest in the category of "Biggest Peice of Crap Ever Made"

I really can't decide between Virtual Boy, and the CD-i that Quacker mentioned. The VB system was a major disappointment, it even took the whole concept of being able to play a game. If you can't see what's going on, then you can't even play it. The visuals were horrendous, and made your eyes hurt from just playing the thing. You were probably able to use it for about a mere fifteen minutes before you have to put it away. The sad part about it, was that it was made by the same person who created the first gameboy (talk about a let down). He was completely ostracized because of the major complaint amongst fans. He then died in a car accident a short time after that. Talk about karma. :/

Virtual Boy, only 15 games with 14 of them sucking with a black and red screen, and it wasn't even portable.
Figures everyone would say PS3/PS2/PS1 for no reason.

Yeah. I only played virtual Boy for 5 minutes at a Toys "R" Us when I was young, and it still gave me a headache. The sad thing is that I hear that the Warioland game was actually supposed to be pretty good.

Virtual boy... Virtual boy...Oh, that think that's like a pair of 3D glasses with a power level of over nine thousand bajillion? I saw a picture of a game for the thing on Wikipedia and it gave me a headache.

I remember playing a virtual boy and thought it was a cool idea, just not executed very well at all. Not unlike the GameGear's backlit screen. 6 batteries for 2 hours of battery life? OUCH.

I always used the adapter. Much easier to play with, and less expensive. I also had some rechargeable AA batteries, so I could use it without much of a hassle. BTW, I still own one.

God, I miss my Game Gear. I loved that system. I had like 40 games that I kept in a laptop-case that I dragged on every family trip.
My top favorites were "Sonic Triple Trouble," "Aladdin," and "Cool Spot." For some reason, I also liked the "Bevis and Butthead" game. Every time something happened (good or bad), it would cut to a close-up of the main characters and they would say-something randomized on the subject. Kept it fresh and what not.

If you want to talk about horrible "MEGA GAMES ## IN ONE" package messes, then you have to bring up the one with "The Cheetahmen"
IIRC, it was considered the best game on whatever pack it was. (I think it was a 50 in one) Though that wasn't saying much, it nearly spawned an NES sequel which was released over the internet in emulator form.
it is, by far, the worst video game ever made. Even worse then Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. At least that game could provide you with fun from the godawful programming. Cheetahmen is just crap.

The worst I had, I would have to say a PS2. Dont get me wrong, the PS2 is a great system, and has lot of good games, but the one I had was big as a PS3 (And thats fuxing* big as you can imagine) and whatever disk I put in it, the peace of shiit* would scratch it to death! And if I put it on its side it wouldint work at all! I got GTA3 with it and I cant even play it anymore (Even though I got the system and game free from a family member!). So a just gave it to my sister...
But the worst system ever would be ether the CD-I player or the Virtual Boy, both made by Nintendo strangely :/ I'm a Nintendo fan too... The Virtual Boy only has 12 games! XD what the fux*!?

Your PS2 was defective, I have a mini-me version and i've never had a problem, and please get you facts right on the VB it had 15 games and the CD-I was made by Phillips hence the name PHILIPS CD-I. The Nerd did a review on the VB.....and reviewed every game in the library, except Super Jack Bros which he said was Rare expensive and probably not worth jack s**t.
