Two? Going by the dates, looks like it was almost 5 and a half years between the last old post and the new bump.Originally Posted by Edmond Dantes

Lol, love it!
Heh, I posted something similar when someone on AtariAge claimed that "The Jaguar can do anything a lesser console can do, and better":
The guy's reply was "lots of 4chan kids here", which is hilarious because I'm just about the opposite of that in every conceivable way. I suspect he didn't get the joke.
That's high voltage for ya. You're lucky he didn't accuse you shoving Japanese controls down his throat.
They seriously should take the Fairchild Channel F off of the list and they should also take off the Vectrex. They both were very good consoles. Why didn't they put the 32X and the Sega CD on the list? They do count as consoles, because they each have their own different libraries of games.
My game consoles and computers:
Atari 2600, Famicom, Super Famicom, Famicom Disk System, NES, SNES, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance SP, SupaBoy, Xbox 360, Nintendo 3DS, Atari 800XL, Atari XEGS, Sega Saturn JPN, Sega Dreamcast JPN, Sega Genesis, GameCube, DS Lite, Intellivision, Nintendo 64, Atari Flashback 1, DSi XL, Lenovo Y510p, iMac G4, HP G60.
The Fairchild isn't even fair, it was the first cart based console and had a good many games for the period and market it was shooting for. The Vectrex that is up to personal feelings I suppose as it was super unique for sure and it does have an ok supply of games but just didn't last long.
Vectrex should never have made this list.
Game.com, R-zone and Adventurevision need to start any such list.
The 3 systems I would put on this list include
Game.com
Nintendo Virtual Boy
and the Atari 5200. ( I never did get over the crappy controllers. )

Just read the entry on the Channel F. That's either some revisionist history, or someone not knowing what they're talking about, while opening their mouth(keyboard?) anyway.
It was a victim of the first crash, it didn't even last long enough to compete with Atari. You'd think mentioning that it was the first cartridge console would give one the right idea of how it went to begin with.
If the Virtual Boy had to be monochrome, what two colours would go better than black and red? Black and puke, like the original Gameboy? I don't think it's possible for monochrome video games to be aesthetically pleasing on the same level of multi-coloured PC/Console games.
The nomad?!? It was an awesome console, but the rechargeable battery and bad screen were OK back then, now they suck. Just a simple mod to put a new screen and mod a battery pack, and it's still awesome!
Nomad doesn't deserve a spot, it was a solid system to have and it ran a quality feed to a television too. I used it as my only Genesis for years when I had one so really I never ran it off batteries as it was (is) just too bulky to stick in a pocket to really be a portable. One game I really did enjoy shoving through it to the television was Virtua Racing.
