Super Grafx in list of most retarded games consoles
« on: May 05, 2014, 04:34:06 AM »
I was just reading this post on digit press "The 6 Most Retarded Gaming Consoles Ever Released (according to cracked.com)" and it links to this old article:
http://www.cracked.com/article_16824_the-6-most-retarded-gaming-consoles-ever-released.html

I was surprised to see the Super Grafx on the list. I know it had 5 games released but they were mostly very good, there are other consoles with much larger games libraries with hardly any good games.

If I remember correctly, that entire article was the typical oblivious racketboy style uninformed opinions stated as historical fact kinda fluff that clogs the internet. At least Cracked isn't a gaming website. Not that I take the same kind articles seriously on major gaming sites.

in fact and if it matters, the SGFX is the most unretarded gaming console ever. no other console had a better quantity to quality share!

Lame.  How can it have the SGX and Vectrex listed but no Pippen or Xavix?

Sadly true. None of the games released for it are really bad by any means. The worst one of them was Battle Ace, and I mean it was great by 1990 standards, and is still slightly above average. All the other games for it are really good and hold up well.

Pretty much, plenty of better (worse) choices could have been made.

Ha ha! So true. He tries so hard to be crudely funny in nearly every single sentence. I'm wondering who actually finds him funny. I may have chuckled at him once or twice but mostly he's just annoying. Even in his EGM days he was insanely boring to read.

I own and use the following on the list

#1 Nomad
#3 Vectrex
#5 Fairchild Channel F

Evidently I have an odd taste in systems :P

I must be retarded.  I like the Nomad and Vectrex.  I'm also actively seeking a SuperGrafx.  By far the coolect looking console ever.

I'm not going to bother reading the list.

I don't have time to waste at the moment.

this site is pure trash. they can't even get accurate screenshots together.

also veccy pole position looks like 100x better than ol' and uberdated VCS 2600 pile of poshition.

but what can you say about peeps that judge the veccy from pure emulation, rather than played the real deal bitd?

I recently grabbed a multi cart and repro light pen for mine so it has gotten a bit more use as of late.
