But, I love all my consoles, including the Jaguar and Virtual Boy.

I saw the Classic Game Room episode of Hyperscan, and yeah, that was the first one that popped into my head when I saw this thread. But I didn't want to mention it, because Mark at Classic Game Room wasn't sure if it really was that dysfunctional, or if he had a damaged system.

I think I played mine once. I only have 30% of the games released for it. That means I have one game. There was only three.

It's pretty terrible, and it feels flimsy and fragile. It's fascinating, to be sure, but sure is crappy.

That falls into 3 all on par with one another.

The CD-I
I have the Magnavox badged 450. It has little in the way of software and the controllers suck. I like the build quality of it, minus that proprietary power adapter it has. I mean I wasn't expecting a CAT connection.

Yobo FC-Twin
I don't hate this system simply because it was given to me. The build quality is for lack of a better word, crap. The cartridge ports do not work properly unless you reseat the cart a few times and usually stick something in behind it or place it at an angle. The controllers are junk. (Note it was like this out of the box.) My in-laws gave it to me when they had to have the Ebay seller replace the unit and they let them keep the original.

Hyperkin Retron 5
I was excited for this thing until I got my hands on it, twice. The first one I got was fine after all the firmware updating. It lasted about a week when the Genesis and NES ports just quit. Sent it back got the replacement with a dead controller and the SNES port was DOA and the NES port worked when it felt like it. Sent it back to Amazon for a refund. I'm done with Hyperkin.

Jakandsig:
Damn N-gage, they should have though game screen first then phone. It has good games but even then a lot of them look like overly pixelated garbage because the screen is small and vertical.
