Worst.Console.Ever edit / delete

The Unisonic Champion 2711. If you're using a video chipset that is *only* designed to play card games, then some extreme creativity is required to do anything else... (Related to the Intellivision -- and in fact someone's written a Unisonic emulator for the Intellivision!)

Hack 1.0.3 edit / delete

The game that became NetHack. A surprising amount of it was already there in 1985!
