What's the most obscure video game console you ever owned?


No, I don't mean some faggy chinese famiclone, I mean an officially-licensed console you owned at the time.

A Christian game for DOS called Jericho, it was a multi-player quiz game where players had to reach jericho answering Bible questions.

I can't find it online so it may be loss media, it came in a floppy thing

Ah nevermind, it's this game

I could swear it was called Jericho though

I wouldn't call it obscure but I did buy a Virtual Boy brand new in the box from Walmart back in 95. They retailed for $200 but by January 1996, they were $30. My dad bought it along with 5 games and spent a grand total of $50.

Again, I know the Virtual Boy isn't obscure now but by the year 2000, nobody remembered it. I'd say it's a contender for most obscure Nintendo console anyway.

Gamecube. Everyone else had Playstations and girlfriends. That one coddled fat kid had an xbox.

I owned a Radio Shack Intellivision clone called a Tandyvision.
It was good.

Didn't Sears have their own line of clone consoles as well?

Got a few pong machines. I'm sure one of them has a low production run.

I own a japanese 32x while being a western european, I guess that counts as obscure.

Sears tele-games had a pong and a "video arcade II" which was a japanese version of the 2600/sold in USA. Looked way better than the old atari AVS.

Not digging it out for a better picture, but the one on the right is the Sears version of the Intellivision, minus the controllers. On the left is the aforementioned Radioshack/Tandy version which is pretty identical to the normal Mattel system.

And to answer thread, probably Famicom/Super Famicom Box or the Sharp NES TV. Also have some educational handheld from Japan that i can't recall the name of that is internally basically the same as a WonderSwan and can sort of play its carts. Maybe also throw in the PC Engine Shuttle (and PC Boy if we can count bootlegs), Interactivision or Etch-A-Sketch Animator 2000.

My dad brought home a 3DO in like fucking 2015, someone gave it to him. I sold it on ebay for £60.
