Blintendo BMX was a video game console manufactured by CCC Solutions, first released in 1981 and discontinued in June 2018.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The system used seven different formats for games, some of which sound questionable. While this might sound decent, each format has to be played on a certain day of the week (cartridges = Monday, VHS tapes = Tuesday, CDs = Wednesday, floppy discs = Thursday, Betamax tapes = Friday, film reels = Saturday, hard disks = Sunday). If the system is turned on with either the wrong format on the wrong weekday, or more than one game inside, the entire system locks up, the screen flashes white and gray with a looping "choom" sound, and the power light flashes amber. This is known as the "Amber Explosion Light".
 * 2) *Speaking of, it has been claimed that it could literally cause your system to explode. This is, fortunately, not the case.
 * 3) Most of the games released for the system are knock-offs of well-known properties. As usual, CCC Solutions claimed they came up with these ideas first.
 * 4) Limited "color" palette, with only black, white and a single shade of gray (three in total).
 * 5) All games run at a low frame rate of 25fps, instead of the standard 60fps (for NTSC consoles) or 50fps (for PAL consoles).
 * 6) No audio whatsoever, except for the aforementioned flashing screen.
 * 7) The name. Tell us it doesn't sound like they took the name from one of the most popular game companies in the world and changed the beginning letters.
 * 8) Its introductory price was ¥50,000,000. And that's in 1981 money.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The games play at a high resolution of 1024x768, which was pretty impressive for its time.
 * 2) There was a subscription service called "Play-On BMX" that allowed users to be able to play any Blintendo BMX games on any day of the week, however it could only be legally done in China.
 * 3) *Similarly, the Super Blu-ray Game Machine can also play any game on any day of the week.
 * 4) There are some decent games here and there.

Trivia

 * The system did not do well in the United Kingdom, resulting in only seven games being released there.
 * In Africa, the temperature of that region was so hot, the consoles were prone to melting.
