Lets talk about consoles that aged poorly.
I think the amiga is a great example, it has maybe 2 or 3 games that hold up and are still worth playing. Pretty much everything else on there is junk.
What other consoles have aged as poorly as the amiga? Or commodore consoles in general for that matter.

Amiga is a personal computer, not a console.
It can do other stuff besides running games, and it did them before Microsoft and Apple took over the market.

Not your OP pic, though, more like 500. 1200 was their swan song when it was already too late

Dumbest thread I have seen on this board in a while. I can't speak for Europe, where this American computer was ironically much more popular, but here in the US nobody was buying Amigas for the games. I grew up with them (two 500s and a 4000) because my dad was a freelance videographer. No other personal computer on the market at the time could even come close to what it could do especially when paired with the Video Toaster. We had some games for them but that was far from their intended use.

>consoles that aged poorly

That's a computer. Let's talk about a real console that aged poorly, pic related.
>2.68 mhz, which is 3 TIMES slower than ALL it's competitors, including the 5 years older Amiga
>lower resolution than ALL it's competitors
>games library consists entirely of throwaway Nintendo shovelware, RPG Maker shit primarily from Squaresoft before they hit their prime on the PlayStation, and underwhelming versions of games where far better alternatives exist on the many better hardwares of the era
The only people who still like this piece of garbage are those who were unfortunate enough to have grown up without anything better.

Tell us what Amiga games you've played and we can recommend you some. It sounds like you have tried a lot of different games but were disappointed with them, but maybe we can recommend you some good ones.

- That piece of shit Turrican on the Amiga. One of the few games where your character has no reaction to getting hit, their health just drains while enemy sprites overlap them.
- Some janky piece of shit that was ported to the Sega Genesis by EA. It's slightly less bad on Amiga, so Britbongs elevate it to a "classic" (see: Sword of Sodan)
- A game where you have to pick music or sound effects

What’s the point? If you care about specs then you should be posting on /v/. TG16 has the worst specs out of any gen iv console and it’s entire library blows the SNES/Genesis out of the water, and obliterates the PC trash games on muh amiigger and DOS

I unironically want to try both of these but have no way of emulating them yet (Chrome user). PC-FX has a few good games like Zeroigar and Zenki FX, and CD-i has CD-i Tetris, Hotel Mario, and the Link/Zelda titles, plus some cozy Christmas-themed games I want to try

>What’s the point?
Let me spell it out for you:
>2.68 mhz
This means games cannot be fast or have a decent amount of action without nauseating slowdowns totally crippling the experience, which directly negatively impacts the gameplay experience.
>lower resolution
This means that games must have a 25% smaller field of view on the SNES, which means more things hitting you from off screen, or even slower movement speeds, directly negatively impacting the gameplay experience.
>TG16 has the worst specs out of any gen iv console
This is incorrect, the PC Engine CPU is, you guessed it, 3 times faster than the SNES, with the same amount of registers and the same data bus width (8-bit), the PC Engine has a massive performance advantage against the 3 years newer, far more expensive SNES.
>it’s entire library blows the SNES out of the water
We can agree on this part though.
