Gaming in the Obscure: Hidden Gems, Failed Hopes and Buried Mistakes

Author Johnny Blanchard on Kickstarter: "I started collecting retro gaming consoles when I first discovered the PC Engine. It was a machine that had largely been overlooked in the UK and I was instantly smitten. But whilst looking for more information I uncovered a whole bunch of consoles that NEC had created and I'd never heard of. Diving even deeper and I discovered consoles from other manufacturers, some from manufacturers that I hadn't even known had ever released a games console. This started an obsession and over the years I've put together a pretty good collection of obscure machines. (.) We've taken photos of the consoles and some of the games that we enjoy playing (enjoy is a little strong for some of the them). It has 18 consoles in total, it doesn't include every vintage machine ever made. For instance, I made the decision to only include consoles I owned, this was so I could (where possible) record footage of games and take my own photos. I felt this was important rather than just buying stock images. I also haven't included a lot of variations of machines, at least not ones that don't bring something new. I haven't included the Sharp Famicom TV, it's just a Famicom mated with a TV. For the same reason I haven't included every variation of the PC Engine, there are a LOT (I could write a book just on the PC Engine) but most of them are just simple design changes, including one mated with a television. I've included two that I think are unique enough. I don't include computers, which I classify as being a machine where keyboard input is considered the default method. only leafed through once,like new.
