That was released in the USA... not using Google or Wiki or anything else.

43 for me. I kept trying to name personal computers like the MSX, Spectrum, Sinclair, Sharp, and Commodore 64, but those aren't included. I think they should be. The C64 and MSX were primarily gaming machines. Also, the Wonder Swan and Wonder Swan Color aren't included.

SPOILER ALERT

Prepare for scores of 43 or above!

I got 32. I had no idea that there were so many versions of the Odyssey. Also, I can't believe I forgot the 3DO.

37 here, it took me a minute alone to get the TG-16's spelling acceptable.

Wow I haven't even heard of some of those '05 systems. Oh yeah, I got 38. I can't believe i missed the PSP and Virtual Boy. And why the hell throw in the SMSII? It's the same as the regular SMS with a new case and Alex Kidd built in. Big whoop.

I got 33, but I'm happy I got every single one that I'd heard of (except Dreamcast, forgot that one). The other 30 systems I'd never even heard of before. Fairchild Channel F? WTF?

46 here, though it should be 48. I couldn't come up with the name of the vector-graphics system (Vectrix...duh), and I completely brainfarted on the GameCube.

Most of those entries are BS, though. Who cares that there were 4 Odysseys. They're still pretty much the same system. And why, for example, are Game Boy and GBA separate, but not Gameboy Color and Pocket? And why count the Atari Flashbacks at all?

And what the hell is a Mega Duck?

I didn't realize there were so may Odysseys either. And it's hella gay that they included SMS2, when they didn't include the SG-1000, the precursor to the SMS. Game & Watch was also sort of a cheat. They might as well have included Tiger Handheld and Konami Handheld.

The N-Gage shouldn't have been included either as that was primarily a cell phone.

I got screwed up on the damn versions of the Odyssey. I also forgot about the Atari Flashback, and the old Balley Astrocade. I also never heard of the PV-1000.

I feel like an idiot for forgetting the zodiac, Fairchild, and Neo Geo Pocket.

I also agree that some should be on there, and some shouldn't.

The Atari Flashblacks shouldn't count, because that means that every other "plug and play" should be on the list. And, where the hell is the Intellivision III?

Also, how come Sega CD is on there, but not Turbo CD?

Hell, might as well include 32X...

It's Sega CDX. It was a seperate system, a combined CD and Genesis.

I didn't realize it was actually released.

Syd, I see you posting here. Why aren't you dropping by the chat?

I was surprised 32X wasn't on there. I think I tried to enter it about 6 times to no avail....

Ok, total fail. I agree with every-damn-one of your disagreements. Lots of flaws in this one. The end.

CLOSE THREAD? Very Happy

It looks like they really dug deep for some things there. If they put in the Flashbacks, they may as well have put in those weird "100 GAMES IN ONE!" handhelds from the 90's. Pretty cool otherwise, I got me a 39


So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.

I did 27 in 4 minutes. I ran out of time because I had to go. I think I would have gotten another 3 or 4 but that's it.

Well, I almost missed the PSP, but Atari Lynx I got in the first two minutes.

I remember playing a Lynx when it came out. I thought it was pretty good at the time. Definitely kicked the shit out of the Gameboy.

Of course, I only played it a few times and didn't care that there were only like 3 games made for it.
