They are:
Asteroids Deluxe

Some of the games I mentioned are not on the Online Rarity Guide.

Sega Master system has 350 games released worldwide during its life time.

I know there are 786 NES games.

That number is heavily debated, and it really boils down to what each individual considers part of the set.
I have to say, I don't think I've ever heard of the 786 number, though.
Most people say its between 769, 771, or 772. I personally think it's 772. But again, its all about what you include. Does Zelda gray and gold count as different games? What about other variations? Caltron? Myriad? Cheetahmen? Panesians? Sachens? etc...


The N64 has just shy of 300, I believe. 298 or 299 or something. Again, that one depends on if you count the gold and gray Ocarina of Time as two different games.

Do you mean worldwide? Or US releases only. We've talked about this here many times already, as USA'er only interest US releases, not worldwide, or the 3-part split: US only, Japan only, Europe only.
But then, Americans include Sachen in their US NES collections, go figure....
Sachen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachen
Would you want to include Tec Toy for SMS, they done original games too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tectoy
How about the Taiwan/Chinese VCS game companies, would you want to include those? If you inlcude Sachen for NES, you gotta include Funvision, Hot Shot, Zellers, Goliath etc... I mean, in total, Atarimania (www.atarimania.com) lists 7300 VCS titles for gods sake.

Famicom/NES (for me, one system): according to the Nintendo museum, Japan, there are 2200 different titles released worldwide.

Look here for 7800, 5200, disregard the homebrews: http://www.pitfalljones.com/atari.htm

CDi is almost impossible, as there were so many country-specific titles not released in other countries. I previously asked this question on the CDi forum: http://www.cdinteractive.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=3&sid=a1fe1031bc21eafd8379fbbf41ea2e83

For complete Jaguar, check out the Jaguar forum, the answer is there: http://www.jaguarsector.com/index.php?
You can also look here under 'systems': http://www.atariage.com/index.html

You can also look under DP online rarity guide (<---look left), always helpful too.
