10 Incredible Video Games Released On Terrible Consoles

4. Kolibri (Sega 32X)

The 32X was an add-on for Sega's Mega Drive/Genesis, a low-cost, entry-level 32-bit platform developed in response to the Atari Jaguar and while Sega continued to prep the Saturn for its release the next year.

But the 32X was a shameless rush-job with a terrible library and little industry enthusiasm, and a cautionary tale about the risks of both splintering your market and, uh, how stupid it is to release a piece of hardware like this so close to the release of a new flagship console.

With the Saturn in stores six months later, the 32X quickly sank without a trace.

But the 32X did count a few gems among its output, such as scrolling shooter Kolibri, which was developed by Novotrade International, the team behind Ecco the Dolphin.

The beguiling combination of frantic shooting and a serenely beautiful art style really help Kolibri stand out in a crowded genre, no matter its brief play-time. Above all else, how many other video games let you play as a freaking hummingbird?
