Turbografx-16

which is not true! The answer is actually the Ouya.

my first thought was the WonderSwan Color and I can't believe nobody else has posted it which means it might actually be the weakest

either that or it is secretly a powerhouse

My first thought was "that obscure system where all the games had numbers in their title like "game #11", you know, Channel Something?"

...Channel F is apparently the name I was looking for, though I had to look it up. Also Game 11 is "Videocart 11: Backgammon / Acey-Deucey".
---

Jaguar

But it has a cool name so eh

---

Channel F is a very good answer

I went to a video game place once and they had the box for one on display and I was legit in disbelief, I never thought I'd even see the box in person

i thought of the swancrystal

honestly either it or the vanilla wonderswan would probably be buried by the color lol

Adventurevision is my goto thought for this sort of idea, ancient thing only had like 4 games total, all ports.

i have legit never heard of this until now, this might be the best answer, at least some old people know what the Channel F is (i've heard two old dudes mention it in my lifetime, as we know old dudes are 90% of the gamefaqs demo)

But that's very likely wrong since it would get joke votes at least

Pippin

Which is probably incorrect because it's doubtful that'd even get in the contest in the first place

---

This depends on how big the bracket is, because the 3DO would definitely beat some of the most obscure older systems that are listed on GameFAQs.

I mean, probably, but it was my first thought!

And I would anti-vote it against everything.
