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 and the Sega Saturn etc., 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.
