The Best Video Games On Awful Systems

Buffalo55 writes "For the most part, classic games manage to reappear on different systems. Just look at Nintendo. The publisher has done an excellent job bringing NES, SNES, Genesis and even old school Neo Geo titles to the Wii's Virtual Console, while Microsoft's Game Room brings the best of Atari's 2600 into the living room. Of course, not every console was a success. The '90s, in particular, saw quite a few flops from companies like Panasonic, Sega and Atari. Just because a system is a failure, though, doesn't mean all of its games suck. On the contrary, most of these machines have a few gems that fell between the cracks once the console croaked." What overlooked game on a failed platform would you like to see revived?

Roll Away/Kula World, an awesome PS1 puzzle game by noidentity · 2010-09-01 22:57 · Score: 1, Offtopic

Roll Away/Kula World is a really well-done puzzle game for the Playstation 1. It runs in smooth 60 FPS and manages to actually look decent in 3D. The music is really soothing techno. Playing it really exercises one's mind in manipulating 3D objects.

Err, how, exactly, is the PC a "failed platform"?
