The Saturn wasn't actually that bad, it even sold quite well until the juggernaut known as the Playstation came along. The Saturn did really well in it's home country though spawning lots of dating games.
Sigh this is what happens when you spend a Sunday at work :-D, lots of youtube videos and wiki-ing on consoles.

the saturn wasnt a bad console IMO. Technically it was more powerful than the ps1 but it was alot harder to program for. One of the worst consoles without a doubt is the atari jaguar it had one of the worst controllers ever made in history (even beats the original duke xbox control)

The 3DO also wasn't too hot. Overpriced as well.

I had the Nokia Ngage and I really liked it. It had the best games available for a phone at that time and when playing a game it was really comfortable to hold.
However when making/receiving a call it was kinda shitty coz you had to hold it so that the phone looked like you had a retarded ear sticking out but it was overall a nice gaming phone back then

I've only been gaming since the PS1...
I started out with the Sega Mega Drive
.I knew a few people who had the N-Gage and it didn't look to bad.

I started on the Atari HQ1000 Cartridge System, i believe my game of choice back then was TANK... Still love that game... lol. Some of that consoles i have heard of but seriously others i havent. When the PS1 came out that was my entry into serious gaming...
Suprisingly I fixed and played with a Sega Saturn, if i recall it was a CD and cartridge based system its downfall was it wasnt available globally otherwise it would have done well, it suffered a similar fate to that of the Nintendo N64 console which was technically superior to the PS1..

I agree with that list, except for the Ngage. Yes, having to use the phone like a banana was a bit awkward, but it was a still a great gaming device. Heck, I still have mine. They should have put the Atari Jaguar in the list instead.

The original Gameboy came out in 1989 I so wanted one as it was advertised on TV all over the place, my first gaming was on a Commodore 64, then a PC which was an XT, then a pirate NES, a Gensis and PC, PC right up till 2000 when the PS2 was released, I just had to have one after seeing the so called real time rendering of MGS2, was disappointed by the first gen games as they were barely a step up from PS1 graphics.

Dreamcast was their last console and it was the best console during the prev gen even if it was discontinued prematurely, I played my dreamcast way more than my ps2 and i still have my dc (a bit deteriorating)

Then the PS1 came out but never had the priviledge to have one(ok I had one for a day or two but then it got sold again :/ alternatively my cuzzies had one). Then got my first PC in 2000 if I'm correct... a pentuim 2 baby thats where it started for me
