"You got 23 out of 68 Video Game Systems"

I've only been around since '92 so I guess that can be my excuse for not knowing most of them. :laugh: Yet, I've never heard of "Gizmondo" or "HyperScan," and these are rather modern consoles.

EDIT: I know what HyperScan is now. It's that ****ty game you see in commercials on Cartoon Network where kids start scanning cards to unleash new creatures. Kinda like Yu Gi Oh but more realistic to the sense that you can actually summon cards onto your TV screen by swiping the specific card.

Wow, I never knew that was considered a video game...

43/68. Alot of systems, such as the gameboy color and such weren't on the list. After a while I just started adding II's and 2's to the end of some of the names I got already and they appeared. Lucky me XD.

game boy color is on the list. game boy is spelled with a space between the words. ds lite wasn't on the list tho

I got 20/68. Some of them wouldn't register for me, like the Amiga but apparently they wanted the full name. I tried GBA and that didn't work for me (maybe I didn't space it?). Completely forgot the DS. The Coleco didn't work (forgot vision). I don't like how picky it was with the names. It took me a few tries to get the Sega Master to go. I didnt know Nintendo had anything before NES either.

Like the n-gage. Was supposed to be some all-in-one gameboy killer, and look where it is now: 6 feet under.

Heh, yeah. I got that one, it was an epic failure over here and everywhere else from the sounds of it. I didn't get all the older console relaunches though.

In all fairness, some of the new stuff that's on the list like game.com and HyperScan never made it to this country... under the radar release + not even in this country = no chance of knowing.

Anyway, 34 out of 68, not too great. Ones I should have got were: Game and Watch, CD-i, N-Gage and Gizmondo. I'm really surprised they included the Tapwave Zodiac and not the iPhone, though. Zodiac is hardly a games console now, come on. It's a freaking PDA. The freaking N-Gage is more of a console then the Zodiac.

I got 19. That'll do, got the main ones. Missed things like N-Gage, but can you blame me? Waste of time, that was. Also missed ones that didn't get released in the UK, and anything before I was old enough to have any knowledge of. Entered this world in '88.

    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/
