Most obscure system?

[northern_gooner]

what about the Adventurevision? I have heard about it, seen pictures but dont know anyone who has one.

I know a user on DP has or had a few of them. They show up on Ebay from time to time.

I think the most obscuree system is one that noone has mentioned yet

I would definitely rate the RDI Halcyon as the all-time most obscure system, not too mention the most expensive system ever at the time of it's release (1984 for $2,000).  I have over 95 console systems (not including pong-clones or handhelds) and this system is the most sought after by serious collectors.  I do have the previous mentioned systems all CIB and are relatively easy to find from international sellers (Super A'Can and the Pippin Atmark / @World).

Other obscure systems (non-clones) that hard to locate:

o 1978 Voltmace Database (UK release of a variation of the Interton VC-4000) *
o 1981-1984 Epoch Cassette Vision series (original, Junior & Super (Yeno)) ***
o 1983 Casio PV-1000 *
o 1984 Casio PV-2000 *
p 1989 Daewoo Zemmix
o 1991 FM Towns Marty * - systems are out there but they are big money for a CIB
o 1994 Capcom CPS Changer
o 1994 Casio Loopy *
o 1995 Olevetti Envision
o 1999 Nintendo 64 DD *
* indicates I own this system

I have around 40 titles for the Memorx VIS.  Drop me an email and I can pass the website of a dealer in California that came through for me (both the system and the games).

I argue against the Halcyon.
It isn't nearly as obscure as many other systems.

I think the most obscure system is one that we no considerably less about.
Not that there is tons of information on the Halcyon availabe but there is info available never the less.

Izret - good point.  What then would be your answer for this question/poll?

[Izret101]

Your list had some systems i know i had never heard of before and know thing about.
I guess it is really just all relative.

Depending on what region your in or search thru.

IMO the most obscure system would be a Euro, Japanese or South American system(i know i hadn't heard of Cougarboy/Mega Duck before Rene informed us.).
That being said i also have not looked into consoles from those regions nearly as much as i have ones that came out stateside.

GP32 and its subsequent releases are pretty unknown to most people i would bet.
Same with the Zodiac.
Or what about the digiBlast thats out in Europe and has unique releases in each country.
The X6800 from Japan? All i can remember about that from when i found it was it was a computer system. My memory on that is even fuzzy.

I still stick to my original statement that the most obscure system is probably one that hasn't been listed yet. There are still dozens not in our database i would bet.

With all that being stated i wouldn't say i know much about 50% or probably more of the consoles listed in our own database.
