How Many Video Game Systems Can You Name?

38/72, completely forgot the gamepark handhelds and I had both of the ones listed. I guess didn't think they belonged in the list.

Why not include the Wiz or Caanoo if you're including those.

Ah, probably has to be Game and Watch, although the proper name was Game & Watch.



Nuon was vaporware.

No, it was released, and I managed to forget it too. :(

That makes three systems that were released in the US and are missing from the list, along with the two early '80s systems I mentioned earlier in the thread.

54!

I had no idea there were THAT many odysseys.

There aren't, as far as consoles are concerned -- the 100, 200, and 400 are just stand-alone home pong machines, and are not videogame consoles. The list should have said "most US-released videogame consoles/handhelds and a couple of randomly selected home pongs/standalones, and a few systems only sold in Asia too", if it wanted to be more accurate.

Why the hell did they include the HyperScan?! And Intellivision 2? It's the same damn thing as the intellivision 1.

The Intellivision 2 should of course not have been on the list, but the HyperScan is a console...

Nuon was released, it was not vaporware. It only had like two games and almost nobody ever heard of it outside of enthusiast circles, but it did reach the market.

Huh, so it did. I never really heard anything about it after reading about it in that EGM issue back in the 90s.
 
41. Forgot some really obvious ones so my score could have been higher - I honestly didn't think to type in Xbox and Gamecube, ugh. N-Gage was on the tip of my tongue, too.
 
What! No Super A'Can?

It was originally released only in Taiwan, but when it got cancelled, the rest of the consoles got sold to America for "spare parts".

Keywords "Sold to America"

Edit: Also, RCA Studio II.
 
43/72. I'd list what I got, but I accidentally clicked a link when trying to click back to this tab, which erased my score. Swell.
 
I got 54 right. List is weird. No Wonderswan, No Caanoo or Wiz despite the GP32 and GP2X being on the list, Atari Flashback really?

The only ones I feel like I should have guessed that I missed were the Nomad and Vectrex.
 
24/72...
I think I walked out with the lowest score here...

It hurts, especially when I didn't even reailize the dsi would count and forgot some of the DOA consoles in the 90s.
 
67/72. Gave up because I didn't know the rest.

I tried entering systems like Pippin, the Wonderswan, C64 (might not count because it's a home computer, but nonetheless...), the Philips Odyssey (right, right, that's the same thing as the Odyssey 2; forgot for a minute), etc and they didn't work. :(

How do the Nomad, the HyperScan, and the Intellivision 2 count? And if the Sega CD counts, the 32X should too. And there were 4 Atari Flashback things, iirc. Not just two. Including the DSi and the Game Boy Colour just seems weird if you're not including the Micro, the SP, etc. Edit: Even falling into obscurity sometimes, I'm surprised they didn't include those cassette game things from the early 80s. Nor did they bother to include the SG-1000.

Shit, just include the Halcyon while we're at it.

List is horribly incomplete.
 
32/72

DSi was listed? I consider that an update to the DS, not a new system.

...I forgot to type GameCube. I'm gonna bump my score up 1 because I chalk that up to a brainfart, not me not knowing it.

Atari flashback shouldn't be listed.

Systems I know, but couldn't think of:

Turboexpress
neogeo
game.com (I actually thought of this system, but couldn't remember the name)
sega master system
magnavox odyssey
Nintendo Game & Watch
Atari 5200
ColecoVision
Atari 7800
TurboGrafx-16
3DO Interactive Multiplayer
Tapwave Zodiac
Neo Geo Pocket Color
 
Got 29/72 I know almost nothing about consoles

I got 60, but most of the ones I missed were unfair -- whoever did that listed a couple of console revisions, standalone systems (that are NOT videogame consoles because they don't have interchangeable games), and even one Japan-only system, along with all the US stuff. I only missed six actual US-released consoles; the rest are that other stuff.

There are some other very sketchy decisions here too --
console addons do not count. So there's no Sega CD, 32X, or Turbo CD. However, for some odd reason some remodels or merged systems DO! So the Turbo Duo and CDX are on the list, even though the Sega CD and Turbo CD aren't.
What? That makes very little sense!

Worse though is the
Intellivision II
, the one and only second model of a console that shows up on the list. Yeah, just try to explain why that one is there, and not one other remodel of any other console (
The CDX and Turbo Duo aren't just remodels, they also combine the addon and original system into one, so they're something different.
)

Also, this list randomly puts five different models of Home Pong systems at the beginning. Home Pongs and clones aren't really consoles, as they do not have interchangeable games.
The Coleco Telstar, Atari Home Pong, and Odyssey 100, 200, and 400 are not consoles. The original Odyssey sort of is, depending on how you define things, but the 100/200/400 are not.
Two modern clone consoles that only play built-in titles and don't have interchangeable games are also randomly included on this list for no good reason --
the Atari Flashback and Atari Flashback 2. I know that you can mod one of the two models to play cart games, but that requires a serious mod, and you can't with the other one, or that one by default. I wouldn't count it.
.

The list is also missing a couple of videogame consoles that were released in the US, including the
Coleco Telstar Arcade and Entex Adventurevision
. All educational consoles for kids are also not here, from '80s systems to the present (
that is, nothing from VTech is here, and the Sega Pico isn't either.
)

Worst of all, though, is the random Japan and Korea-only systems that are included for absolutely no imaginable reason.
Why in the world is the PV-1000 on that list?
It was only released in Japan! And the
GP2X and GP32 were definitely not things actually released in the US... just because you could order one online doesn't mean that it was actually sold here!


So yeah, of the things that actually count, I missed the
Mega Duck/Cougar Boy, Neo-Geo CD, LaserActive, XaviXPort, Arcadia 2001, and Tapwave Zodiac.
Got the rest.



No, the 32X is missing. The CDX is just a Sega Genesis plus Sega CD combined into one. As I said though, no addons are on that list at all, so the 32X isn't the only thing missing because of that.

29/72.

This is some bullshit.

I typed in 32X like 5 times thinking it was bugged. And the only one I knew about and forgot was CD-i. The rest is old people stuff or stuff you'd buy in the impulse aisle at Toys R Us.
 
The real fun of the game is watching everybody get fucked by the creator's arbitrary categorizing
 
38....

I forgot the N64! hahahaha

There was no Wonder Swan.

No Supergrafix either, but they had Master System/Master System II and DS/DSi... I call bullshit.

I was surprised I forgot game and watch, I had over a dozen of those.
 
You got 44 out of 72 answers correct!

You scored at the 99th percentile
Click to expand...

I got most from the center column and third.

Yo isn't
PC Engine
a console? I think I typed that like 20 times when I ran out of ideas.
 
Got 40/72
It didn't recognise PC Engine, but accepted TurboGrafx. But it did recognise SEGA Megadrive as the Genesis, so at least that was good.
Atari Flashback? never heard of it, was it one of those plug and play consoles?
DSi was included what the hell?
Also I'm glad I didn't remember some; N-Gage lol.
 
47

I forgot ColecoVision!

Couldn't remember GamePark's sequel (and yeah it's dumb those were on the list).

Was sad when it wouldn't register Sega Pico or NUON.

Brain couldn't quite spit out "Vectrex"

"Oh, what was the rest of that Fairchild thing called?" "System F?" (lol)

Knew there were some dedicated pong things I was missing.

Kinda lame the Odyssey name didn't come to me considering I just re-read The Ultimate History of Videogames this past summer.
 
'40/72 systems correct'

Well, that trained my memory. :P

Totally forgot the poor Sega Nomad, problably the only one I felt bad missing.

I forgot to mention the
RCA Studio II and the Nuon
, two more missing consoles. I see that first one mentioned in the thread now, but I actually did try to type it in on the list only to see it fail, I just managed to forget that when writing that post right after. Bah. :p

I should also add that of the six systems I missed, I completely forgot the first four, but kept trying, and failing, to remember the names for the last two I listed there. I didn't cheat and look them up though, so I missed them.
Darn you, Zodiac and Arcadia 2001...

The Master System, DS, and DSi are video game systems released in the US, while the Supergrafx and Wonderswan are not. I don't know how that one system I mention in my longer post slipped through (as a cruel joke? It's an incredibly obscure system. I have no other idea...), but that would be the obvious reasoning for those two, and also other Japan-only systems which aren't here (PC-FX, Playdia, etc.).

The DSi is a console separate from the DS, it really is, even if Nintendo wanted to pretend otherwise... but yes, the Atari Flashback is one of those plug & play things, and should not have been on the list.
 
48/72 here, forgot the Wii and the Wii U for some reason. Now to look up a couple of these (Mega Duck?) and see why I should know about them.

25 lol
Most of the older ones I remembered are thanks to AVGN
Click to expand...
Haha, yeah. Had to look up how to spell the Odyssee, damn english language. Also PC-Engine as TurboGrafx-16 and the Games.com .

36/72, not too bad. Top 4 percent :-D

Also, Game&Watch is not a console. If you go into this territory, the list would inflate to space.

In the End, my real omissions are
Virtual Boy, the GameBoy Color, NeoGeo Pocket Colour and worst, the GameCube. How could I!?!?!? Also hilarous but certain, the N-Gage and the Gizmondo.
 
45/72. Kicking myself for missing a few (particularly from the early years; I should have got more there), would question the inclusion of some and exclusion of others (see spoiler below), but quietly smug about getting some of the more obscure entries (
Tapwave Zodiac! Go me!
)


Spoiler about questioning exclusion/inclusion:
"Game & Watch" included when it says that "Single game systems not included", yet "Pokémon Mini" not included?


Edit: After reading through the thread, I note that the system that I feel should have been included hasn't been mentioned yet, so that's one more for the count.
