Lots of people feel the same about the TurboGrafx-16.

I mean the PC Engine lived a full, and popular life. It's a shame they couldn't replicate the same success with the turbo. But at least there's tons of games to go back and play.

The Dreamcast on the other hand was so short lived, even in Japan. We never got to see it's full potential.

TurboGrapfx was cool because you could play on the console AND they had a game oh-like portable that could also play the games. It was BADASS!
