+===== Casio Loopy =====
+The Casio Loopy was Casio's mysterious and mostly-failed attempt of creating a console specifically targeted towards women. Released on October 19th, 1995, the Loopy's Hitachi SH7021 with 1MB RAM, 2MB ROM, and 512 colors was somewhat capable. Ultimately, however, the system had only 11 titles released for it over it's 3 year lifespan. Notably, the system had a built in thermal printer that let you print out little things from games you played, akin to the Game Boy Printer (but in color).

+=== PC Collection ===
+> It’s more of a selection of applications, presented around a loose computer theme, with a common sticker functionality.
+Not an operating system per se, but rather a cartridge that offers a variety of PC-like programs for the Loopy, complete with a mouse! Functions include a word processor, primitive music sequencer, and the paint program.

 ===== NEC/Hudson PC-FX =====
+NEC's Japan-only followup to the TurboGrafx-16. Releasing on December 23rd, 1994, it's NEC V810 CPU, various other custom processors, and 16.77 million colors made it relatively capable but ultimately not enticing enough, despite it's ability to decompress JPEG images fast enough (30/sec) to create high fidelity FMVs. It received no followup, resulting in the end of NEC's presence in home video game consoles.
