My name is Brett Weiss, author of Classic Home Video Games, 1972-1984: A Complete Reference Guide. I'm also on the Comics Buyer's Guide Review Crew and have written for Classic Gamer Magazine, Toy Shop, Scary Monsters, and other publications.
My favorite modern system is the PS2 (I love Maximo 1 & 2 and the various retro collections) while the ColecoVision holds the top spot for best classic system.
