3 Weird Consoles : Playdia


On the 9th of September one of the best consoles had it's birthday the Dreamcast and while it was a fantastic console it only lasted for 16 months so a lot of people never knew about it however over the next few posts i will show you 3 console that are even more rare and strange than the Dreamcast and i'm starting off with the Bandai Playdia.

Released exclusively in Japan the console came out in 1994 and it was intended to be used by children only.
The only software that was made for it was Edutainment and Anime quizes and it only came with 1 infrared red control pad with it only having simple buttons hence why there was only edutainment games and anime titles.

During the consoles life span only 33 games were ever released for it including Dragon Ball Z - Shin Saiyajin Zetsumetsu Keikaku Chikyū Hen, Ultraman - Hiragana Dai Sakusen and Elements Voice Series vol.5 Mariko Koda Welcome to the Marikotown.

There were two main factors that killed the console first off it didn't sell that well of the time with it only aimed at one small type of audience and secondly Bandai were the only company that was making games for it.

So there you go the first out of 5 weird console that you probably didn't even know about

A little off topic, Guys... I have a question. Today I looked at this site:
[url=http://www.rivalspot.com]Rivalspot.com - Wii Live Tournaments[/url]
They say you can play online NHL game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea...
Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?
