playdia
A home video game console that was launched in 1994 by Bandai.
When compared to other systems launched around the same time, such as Sony's PlayStation 1 and the Sega Saturn, with the exception of the MPEG playback function, it fell behind in all other categories, and was a commercial failure.
Other failed game consoles that Bandai has launched include the Intellivision: Japan Import, the Bandai/Emerson Arcadia, the Vectrex/Kousokusen, and the Apple/Bandai Pippin Atmark. Today these consoles are only alluded to in jokes.
