Only knew about those consoles in retrospect and not during their times.
The lack of quality and "killer app" type games hurt those consoles baring the NEO GEO from achieving greater success while the NEO GEO was doomed because it was just way too expensive to buy one and its games.
Until 1998/1999, the only non-Nintendo console I knew of was the Sega Genesis and only because of one of my cousins owned it and another cousin or friend of a cousin who also owned one during a trip to the Azores.
