Yes, the Atari Lynx from the early '90s with a nice collection of games (Ms. Pac-Man, Slime World, California Games, Lemmings, Toki, Shadow of the Beast and several others).
It was a fantastic piece of technology at the time, and often took away playtime from my "little" Game Boy, but it slowly but surely fell into disuse as the Nintendo handheld began churning out an endless stream of great titles.

It still works today (I played it again recently), although it required some minor internal repairs. As for the cartridges, they're all still in perfect working order, despite those who think 'physical games are outdated'! :D

The Lynx was actually 16 bit. It actually had some technically impressive games for the time. I remember playing Ninja Gaiden (The Arcade Game) on it a lot. Blue Lightning was another game I put a lot of time into. Also I remember being impressed by Electrocop at the time. It was a "3D Game". It was crazy to play a game like it and on a portable at that.

PC Engine otherwise known as Turbografx in the USA. It was an 8 bit console but the games definitely looked 16 bit. They kept upgrading it with a CD expansion and RAM cards to keep it relevant until 1995. A lot of PCE games look and sound amazing even compared to SNES! 



R-Type looks nearly arcade perfect on it! Blows the NES version out of the water!



Here's a super late gen release from 1995 or so. Looks like an arcade title huh?

Oh man, I'm envious. I would love one of those. The closest I have is the Mini.

@OP: I still own a 3DO and a Jaguar. They don't come out very often, except for maybe a little Tempest 2000 and Alien vs Predator.

I also have one of those Evercade Super Pockets. And an Atari 2600+ reproduction, if that counts.

My buddy and I just upgraded to the PCE Duo. So we both will have PC Engines (Japanese Turbo Grafx) for sale. Both are S-Video modded and recapped. 

The TG-16 had an 8bit CPU but a 16bit GPU. That part of the reason why the graphics were so impressive. It had a really good port of Street Fighter 2.
