Did you and Marvel get inspired by the same thing? You two created nearly identical threads within one minute of each other...

Marvels inspired me to ask the reverse question.

He asked about commons. I find uncommons more interesting. I was hoping to hear some console names I hadn't heard before.

Ahhh, gotcha. My just-woken-up brain couldn't figure out the difference, lol.

My most uncommon consoles would probably be:

- Vectrex
- Arcadia 2001
- 3DO

And to a lesser extent:
- Atari 7800
- TG-16
- Atari Jaguar
- Odyssey 2
- NES top loader

Consoles I still want:
- Neo Geo
- Neo Geo Pocket Color
- Fairchild Channel F

Wii U! Haha I kid, I kid. But seriously though, I have an Intellivision, which most people don't have but not really.

Does this count?

I found this at a flea market a few months ago. It's obviously a Wii rip-off console, and it's as horrible as it looks. But hey, for a "console" (Does this even count as one?) that cost me €3,50 and came with all this stuff I can't be that mad at it, especially after how many laughs I got out of it. Seriously, the bootleg games on those two cartridges range from dull to so bad it's funny, to the point I seriously found myself laughing out loud at what ridiculous things these games kept throwing at me.


I know, it doesn't really count as a console, but I don't really have anything else. All consoles I own have been very successful. I'm planning on picking up a Wii U soon, and that would then be the least successful console in my collection. Besides, I've NEVER seen one at someone else's house (only a few times in department stores), so I guess it fits the bill :)

I also have a few unusual game console peripherals, such as the Pro Fighter X (Super Famicom), Magical Shop (Casio Loopy), Slide Controller (Nintendo DS), and Piano Controller (Nintendo DS).

Holy cow, that's a thing? I have to look into that. I can't seem to find it on eBay though, is it really that rare? (Sorry, I'm a huge sucker for weird hardware/peripherals.

I'm boring. I think the closest thing would be the Sega Saturn.

The only uncommon console I kind of want is a Vectrex.

Vectrex really? I would have never guessed.
Are there some rpgs on there I'm not aware of? ;)

Seriously though what's draws you to it?

If I look in numbers

neo geo pocket, neo geo pocket color and even the sega cd are consoles that allot of people do not own

Not to uncommon to be fair, but i'm not a big fan of uncommon consoles.

The most uncommon console that I had was a cib Sega Mega jet unfortunately I had to sell it

I played it with MrNikon back at a convention and really enjoyed its simplicity. It didn't have anything that would last for hours on end, but it was a really unique system and it would be neat to own.

I have a buddy who doesn't collect or anything, but he has a Vectrex and a couple of games.  I've been asking him to sell it to me for 10 years now, he always refuses.
