Yep, depends on the objective, whether or not something failed.  In the case of the Lynx, for example, it is a failure, but a GLOROUS failure (same with the Vectrex).  I get 3D on the Lynx that took YEARS to be seen elsewhere.  I believe the closest one now gets to 3D like that is what is on the PSP.  THAT is how advanced the Lynx was.   I will stick Blue Lightning up against any Afterburner type game on ANY portable system out there, except the PSP.  The DS and DSi likely approximate what the Lynx can do (and if you push it and say superior then the Lynx, then so be it).

For the Lynx, I must have over 20 games for it.  They are a WIDE range of games, including games based on arcade titles.  And Slime World is a good title also.  Chip's Challenge is a great puzzle game.  And you also have Gauntlet on it.

I agree, your list was better.

Agreed!

I would go with gizmondo for number 1 gaming system failure of all time.

Only 8 games released for it? Now thats poor.

Game gear seemed pretty well built to me...mine still works fine. If we wanna talk about bad craftsmanship lets talk this gen, both my systems have broken down this gen, something iv never before experienced.

Yeah and the fact that the bloke who owned the company got done for fraud and money laundering didn't help lol

I wasn't aware that the company owner was a crook.

I only ever saw a gizmondo once in my life, and it wasn't even in a video games shop, it was a basic general electronics shop.

Gizmondo

In 2001, Eriksson joined Carl Freer in the UK based company Gizmondo, which intended to rival Nintendo and Sony for the handheld videogames market. Through some innovative financial transactions, Freer had been able to take his British electronics company onto the Nasdaq exchange and raise millions. Eriksson's salary in 2004 was £1.1 million with bonuses amounting to another £145,000, and a car allowance of £5,000 per month.^[5]

In an attempt to promote the product, Eriksson competed at the 24 hours of Le Mans. He arrived in a grey Ferrari Enzo and entered the race in the Gizmondo-sponsored Ferrari 360 Modena GTC in 2005 but would retire into the morning with mechanical troubles. In October 2005, a Swedish paper revealed irregularities in the business dealings of Gizmondo, and the criminal past of some members of management, including Eriksson.^[4] Eriksson, Freer and others resigned, and the company filed for bankruptcy after using up $300M, 90% in its last six months. The company was also involved in various litigation: Swedish Ogilvy Group, MTV, and the Jordan Grand Prix all filed million dollar suits.^[6] In August, shortly before his resignation, Gizmondo relocated Eriksson to California for its US launch. Subsequently, questions arose around how the felon Eriksson was able to enter the country. In early 2006, with ideas similar to now defunct Gizmondo's Smart Ads, the virtual mobile operator (MVNO) XeroMobile [1][2] was started through Eriksson's earlier partners.
