CD-I Way to expensive and laughably bad games. I went into an electronics store back in the day and a salesperson tried to sell me one. The more he talked the more confused my wife got.  l'm starting to sweat and get dizzy, where are my dam benzos

Worst console ever that I actually played would have to be the Virtual Boy by virtue of making me dizzy for the 5 minutes I spent playing it at Toys R' Us.

The Wii U isn't far behind though.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I'm not going to vote for a console I've never played or owned.

So in that case, my vote goes to the N64! MU-HA!

This..

and yes. Its as bad as it looks.

Edit: Ah.. looks like I'm not the only one. *wipes tear*



Remember when the Sega Genesis was "cool" and the SNES was the lame console for kiddies? Now the SNES is widely considered one of the greatest consoles of all time, with its classics ranked among the greatest games ever made.

Remember when disc-based media was the future and the N64 was a relic from the past, completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things? Cue Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye. The N64 is home to some of the most popular and influential games of the 3D era of console gaming.

It'll be a lot of fun when the GameCube and Wii are vindicated by history as well. It's inevitable. The GameCube will ultimately be remembered as a true bastion of outstanding software. The Wii, a masterpiece of affordable technology and new concepts. I'm quite looking forward to the day it's no longer popular to hate the Wii. I don't think that day is far off.



My "This'll make me look cool vote": Nintendo Wii.

My real vote: Hyperscan. Bleh. Blargh. Belch. (That's it's real name.)



Not anything Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, or Sega.



Never had any of those, so they could be the best or worst for all I know.

Amiga CD32, Sega CD and 32X are missing from the poll .
