People keep telling me that Nuon is probably the most obscure video game platform ever created. Oh, they've not heard how the greybeards entertain themselves. (lemmy.world)

When I read the sentence, I was like "Wh... w... how? WHY? ...and OF COURSE it was distributed via FTP, I mean, what else do you use for entertainment in AIX. Or business, for that matter."

I think the LaserActive and MegaLD/LD-ROM system was at least as obscure, there may have even been less units made and the cost was certainly much more, plus there weren't exactly many games released on laserdisc.

The Bandai Pippin also only sold half as many as the LaserActive.

Well LaserActive at least got the Retsupurae reaction 7 years ago, so it's not totally obscure.
