I'd have to say Dreamcast since I still play it so much, but I have a special place in my heart for the TurboGrafx. I wish I had never sold mine.

Sega CD, followed closely by Dreamcast.
The 32x, however, we shall all blot from our memory.

Gotta be the dreamcast. So much potential, so little marketing

Dreamcast. There's still gameplay that no other system can offer. I like to relax with some Sega Marine Fishing occasionally.

a toss up between turbo grafix16/turbo duo and dreamcast. Both systems had so much potential.... but came to a premature death....:(

Dreamcast fo sho. All the cool jap imports, crazy non comercial games that are fun but bound to fail. If you can get your hands on it, Hello Kitty Garden Panic is a cross between battleship and minesweeper, so much fun!

Bah. Dreamcast is still too recent. Saturn was a better failed system IMO.

I voted for the Turbo because I think it's hard to say something that achieved 30+% market share (N64) failed. It wasn't the winner in terms of sales, but it lasted ~6 years and sold tens of millions of systems. Hardly a failure.

Not trying to criticize, but I think DC gets a lot of votes because it's the only experience a lot of people have had with a "failed" system...even though DC isn't the failure that something like Jaguar or 3DO were.

Saturn have some badass games, specially RPGs and 2D fighters. DC is a distant 2nd, I thought most game are very generic except for a few like Shenmue.

well considering the DC had like 250 games in the US alone, I don't know if you could consider that a failed system.

I do wish there was most Virtual Boy games though.

I didn't know the N64 was a failed system...I thought it held up pretty well to the PS1 in sales. Am I wrong?

I really don't care for the N64 but I agree, I think that the GC and XBOX are also have similar shares in the market compared to the N64 and I wouldn't call them failures.

As far as my favorite system... out of all those, ive had them all... I would say saturn because of its nice imports and fighters durings it time....followed by the DC as someone else said...there is still things the DC games offer that none of the other consoles have yet.

Maybe you should of just had a Sega category. and all that really means is they are never going to come out with another system again. what a shame.
