Test your video game system knowledge!

[FantasiaWHT]

Fun little game/test:

http://www.sporcle.com/games/videogame_systems.php

I did pretty good, 41 without cheating and looking anything up

*******SPOILER ALERT********










It's fun, but has flaws - SMS 2 should not be on the list (unless you get to include Genesis 2 & 3, SNES 2, etc.), or anything that plays the same cartridges/CD's as something else (GBC, Turbo Express, Nomad).

I also got 41. Nice find.

50 here, and yes, there are some serious inconsistencies on the list. Still fun though. :-)

[Press_Start]

43 out of 68 here. I'm not that knowledgeable on systems before I was born.

It was fun to try out. Surprised with some answers he put up there, especially ones most gamers wouldn't consider as console, well not at first glance.

Yeah, that was pretty fun. I got 44. I agree with your complaints, though. I didn't get the Intellivision II or Master System II, since I wasn't thinking of revisions (especially when it didn't have stuff like Game Boy Pocket, which I tried). I didn't think of the Nomad or TurboExpress either since they don't play original games. I don't think those Flashback things and Game & Watches should count either. I did think of the GP32 and GP2X, but since when did those come out in America? I didn't even bother entering those. I thought those were only made in Korea? I did get the Odyssey and the Odyssey^2, but I have no clue what those 100, 200, 400 versions are.

My most shameful omission is that I completely forgot the Jaguar. :P

I also got 44. This test is really stupid.

Why include Sega Master System 2 but not NES 2, PS One or PS Two? Gameboy Pocket wasn't there? really?

Parts of it just didn't work. I put in "Game & Watch" and it didn't trigger "Nintendo Game & Watch".

"Fairchild" didn't trigger "Fairchild Channel F" (I couldn't remember the rest), but Odyssey triggered Magnavox Odyssey.

Anyway, it's kind of fun and with some improvement could be a great project.

43/68. Arg, I can't believe I forgot about the Vectrex. Somewhat frustrating that the test wouldn't accept "Intellivision 2" as an answer, but something as vague as "Atari" was good enough to win a point for "Atari (PONG)". ..and really, no 32X or TurboGrafx-CD?

[otaku]

I got a 47 but could have damn near aced it but its way picky Intellivision 2 versus intellivsion II argh!

[j_factor]

Lame. How do they include Watara Supervision but then miss Pippen and Playdia? I lost time because I kept trying to type different variations of systems that were excluded for no reason -- ie, "amiga cdtv / commodore cdtv / cdtv", "halcyon / rdi halcyon / halcyon interactive", "r-zone / tiger r-zone / tiger rzone", etc.

A lowly, pathetic 36 with no cheating and such. But the consoles I care about are mostly 1983 forward, since that's when the Famicom came out. It's still older than I am :P

[jcalder8]

I enjoyed it and I got 43. But it was missing a lot and included some questionable ones.

[namzep]

I got 50 and should have had a few more but the stupid thing wouldn't except some of my answers (though I'm still not sure why). Also, forgot some of the multi-media crap from the mid-90s.

[old_skoolin_jim]

I also got a 43, and was surprised at some of the stuff they included/left out.
Not perfect by any means, but I still had fun. Thanks for the link!

[7th lutz]

I got 62.

[rbudrick]

43, but should have been 46 or 47, since I entered some that weren't on the list, but should have been, such as Sega CD and Adventurevision.

I wish I knew variations and revisions would have been on there ahead of time, since I wasted a lot of time figuring that out.

Also, I entered atari 7800, atari 5200, and atari 2600 THREE TIMES EACH before they took. That had me annoyed.

I got 34.. The trouble was I knew many more systems that were on there, but I rushed myself.

-->not a good test taker<---

[nintendoeats]

41, but 45 if you count the things that are on the list that it didn't accept for whatever reason. and then there were all of the ones that weren't even on there...

[gum_drops]

42 here, I forgot the names of all the recent junk like the gizmondo, hyperscan, tapwave etc. I also completely forgot about the Odyssey. Calling some of those including the R-zone a game system is really pushing it. No jaguar cd, c'mon!

[lendelin]

31...bad...and I forgot the Dreamcast, too. Almost missed the Gamecube.

[Mayhem]

This was posted on another forum I'm on and I managed to get 57...

But it was missing a lot and included some questionable ones.

Yes. No Adventurevision, Creativision, RCA Studio II for three to begin with.
