Game consoles fail, that's a fact. Here are 22 consoles that you have probably never even heard of.
The armadillo returns.
I personally do remember Infogrames in the years prior to merger. They really did have a portfolio that stuck out and I enjoyed. I wonder what value they see in reviving it now though?
The good old days of Driver and Stuntman. Unfortunately both games are long gone.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
i would love 4 there to be more then a oligopoly in home consoles today.
I remember reading about them phantom back when i was in middle scool
I heard of the Phantom. Sucks that we don't have more variety of consoles these days.
I was designing a console...
Called the AT 2328 (acid trip and the random number 2328..)
Basically it consisted of a VCR set to continuous play of Ren and Stimpy episodes and retrofitted with a non-functioning remote control with an IV tube rather than a power cord tapping into an internal reservoir containing a psychotropic drug, not unlike the PS2 controller of old in appearance, but redesigned to administer small periodic doses of LSD via tiny needles projecting from the hand grips of the controller and into the player's palms near the base of the thumbs.
Essentially the drug combined with the capricious hilarity of the cartoon series provides all the necessary stimulation a person could desire.
