23, and I completely forgot about some obvious one like Atari.
lol, I forgot Atari Pong, but when I typed in another Atari one it registered it.

I got 54. Not too bad. I wasted time by trying all the Wonderswan things though...guess they were never released in the US?

Also, no Pippin? Was that also non-US?

But yeah, forgot a couple versions of the Odyssey, the Lynx (dunno how i forgot it), and some other random stuff.

I keep getting "We are experiencing technical difficulties. We are trying to fix them as fast as possible and should be back up shortly. Sorry!"... I got that same message tonight, and last night.

I really only know these things because of hundreds of hours wasted on Wikipedia. There was a time in my Wikipedia-ness where the topic of research was the history of video game consoles...so yeah, I remember a lot.

However, if the quiz had been more specific, I would have got a lot less. For most of them you luckily don't have to know the creator of the console...because I didn't remember, for example, who created the Arcadia 2001.

However it's missing the GB Pocket, GBA SP and Micro and refused to take my Nintendo 64 submission.  And then I just never heard of half of them.

53.

Fricken Game.com D:
One of the first I remembered, and this list is actually missing a few.

And yes Kaz, the Pippin was released in the USA.

I just typed "n64" and it took it. It uses abbreviations for possible submissions for most of the Nintendo consoles, but not all of them. Just try every name.

And by the way, if you had actually read the stuff at the top of the page, it mentions that there are no expansions, re-releases, updated versions, etc. of consoles on the list, thus rendering GBP, GBASP, and GBM disqualified.

Ah, I didn't really read it, so that would be why I missed that.  Though I tried every conceivable way of typing n64 and it didn't take it.
