A feature on consoles that time forgot?

I, like many readers thoroughly enjoy the Retro Inspection feature. I was glued to this months feature on the Game Gear. However I would like to see a feature on rarer or lesser-known consoles, not a huge feature like RI but a small feature, maybe one page in each issue on such consoles as the Bally Astrocade, Gakken TV Boy, Sega Teradrive, Pippin Atmark, Bandai Playdia, etc. Info on their roots, games and why they failed to take-off in the gaming world would be a fascinating read for most readers I'm sure.

Defo Yes on that one. There are so many retro machines I'd love to know more about and/or like to see a feature on.

Not just failed consoles, but failed computers too... Sam Coupe, etc

Definately. The issue with the Konix stuff is still one of my fave!

Sounds like an interesting piece...

Sure, it's a great idea, although I'd split it into two articles, one for the consoles and one for home computers (there are probably loads of bizarre computers that only a handful of folks ever bought!)

I think another Konix feature might be worth a read

Which issue was the Konix feature in?

Edit: Never mind, found it. It was issue 8.

After the Konix success, the only natural follow-up would be the Panther then!

Should Retro Gamer do a small feature on lesser-known or failed consoles?
