ColecoVision
Launched in '82, with motto of arcade-quality games at home, it not only did that, bringing arcade ports like Donkey Kong and Galaxian, but greatly influenced Famicom's creation as well. Arguably the actual start of 3rd generation (given that SG-1000 launched a year later with same hardware and it's considered 3rd generation). Killed prematurely by Coleco loosing faith in console market after the crash of '83 and focusing (unsuccessfully) on home computers (with ADAM, which ate into ColecoVision production line).
