10 Worst Consoles Ever

There are few things as satisfying as compiling other peoples failures into an easy to digest list. GameTrailers.com has collected and posted its own list of the video game industry's greatest mistakes. The list includes moves of desperation (Sega CD and 32X), poor design (Nokia N-Gage, pictured), mob ties (Gizmondo), and just plain bad ideas (Nintendo's Virtual Boy).

Of particular interest is the R-Zone.

In 1995 -- the same year the original PlayStation was released -- Tiger updated its formerly popular LCD Pocket Games line with the R-Zone. R-Zone was a cartridge based "virtual reality" system that projected its barely animated time wasters in red on tacky head gear. The R-Zone was about as exciting as watching a digital clock and was only slightly more comfortable than a ball gag.
