Do any of you own an obscure system, and if so, which one(s)? By obscure system, I mean something that isn't an (S)NES, N64, GC, GB(C/A), PS(1/2), Xbox, Genesis, or Dreamcast. I own a Virtual Boy and am very pleased with it...I actually think it was nintendo's most ingenious system and I've always been disappointed about how poorly it went over and how quickly it died. I've currently been considering acquiring a 3D0 and a Sega Game Gear as well; both have interested me over time. So, I'll pose the question again: do you own any forgotten systems?

I have an LCD system from China called a "Game Player". I also have an Atari 2600, Mattel Intellivision, and Commodore Vic 20; but those are old, not obscure.

I've had so many chances to buy a Game Gear it's not even funny...I'll find one at a flea market, it'll be in working order for as little as $10 sometimes, but I always choke at the last minute and pass it up in hopes that there'll be an NES somewhere in the vacinity, but it's never worked to where I find one. I really need to jump on the next one I see =/

I own a "forgotten system" called Sachen. It's basicly NES, but it can run both NES and Sachen games. The control designs look like SNES and the processor design looks like PS. Haven't used it in couple of years, more than couple to be truthful.

I have a Gamegear, Sonic Drift 2 is quite fun (well now Mario Kart 64 and Double Dash greatly outshine it, but it's still nice for the road). The sytem goes through batteries like nobody's business though (why I'm still skeptical of the PSP's battery life since its so advanced for a portable like Gamegear was for its time).

I got a Dreamcast, controller, and three games today for ten dollars...I consider myself lucky <_<;

I also have the chance to get a Game Gear today for $12. It has an AC adapter and a carrying case, but the screen is a bit scuffed. I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Turbo Graphx 16 and Atari Jaguar? Wow, nice set. I could only dream of finding those o_o; I saw a Sega Nomad at a game store yesterday, but it was $90 ;_____;

Ooh, even more news from me! I picked up a Game Gear, official carrying case, and AC adapter at a yard sale for $5. I don't have any games yet, but it seems to work perfectly.

Wow those are some incredible deals you are finding.. I still can't believe you a found dreamcast... and got it for only 10 bucks at that! XD

My parents bought the Turbo Grafx 16 and Jaguar for my brothers years ago, but they just gave it to me.... I don't think I'll be selling them anytime soon XD

Hehe, i gots a Nintendo game&watch for free at the markets.

Sure it's really boring but it's fun to play olden-day games.XD
Even if it's boring, think of it this way: it's the original Nintendo DS XD

I've been searching myself crazy for Oil Panic or Manhole for the Game & Watch, but they seem incredibly elusive.

Wow those are some incredible deals you are finding.. I still can't believe you a found dreamcast... and got it for only 10 bucks at that! XD
The Dreamcast itself only cost $2, actually XD I had to pay extra for the controllers and the games =p

I had to pay $5 for a Dreamcast memory card at the mall, and when I got it home, it didn't even work =/

My Dreamcast was free :D My sensei gave it to me, as well as all of the games and accessories he still had.

How are you people finding dreamcasts? XD Everywhere I go they say they don't have them, but for some reason I can always find a Genesis or SNES everywhere in flea markets

Ah well... the search continues XD

Hmmm...so if I wanted some of these consoles, where's the best place to find them cheap [used]?
The absolute best place is a flea market, people are always trading in used systems, but even then finding something such as a virtualboy will be a challenge.
