Holy shit. I didn't think anyone had ever heard of that game. Finishing that game was one of my fondest gaming memories.

I was only able to play it a dozen or so times, at a friend's that had a 400/800. Perhaps my memories are sketchy, but I think it is the greatest platformer I've ever played, and will someday buy an 800 just for that game.

Somehow Donkey Kong qualified as an appearance on this list, but Punch-Out! didn't.

I got 29. Ones I knew but forgot were: Virtual Boy, Game Boy Color, Neo Geo CD, and Atari 2600 (I thought it was 3600 for some reason).

Sega CD isn't on there. Sega CDX is. The CDX was a standalone "portable" system (without a screen).

Mario isn't playable in Punch-out. It says that either Mario has to be in the title or Mario has to be a playable character.

You know I completely forgot about that. I assumed the CDX and Sega CD were the same thing. My mistake.

The Mario games were annoying because you have to remember what the damn title names were. I could remember that Mario had soccer games, but couldn't remember their exact names. Then it wouldn't accept brothers, it had to be bros. That was annoying. As also stated, the names for a lot are just too damn long to remember.

I got less than half the mario games right. Missed all the DOS, G&W, childrens, and some newer ones. Even using the wikipedia list of mario games, I was only able to get them all with like a minute left to spare.

Officially I got 34. I thought about the SMS2, but it didn't take Genesis 2 or GBA SP so I didn't bother trying. I got Atari (Pong) by mistake. I just knew the 2600 and 5200. I knew the Turbo Express, just didn't know it's name.

Besides the Neo Geo Pocket; any system made by someone other than Nintendo, Sony, Sega, Microsoft since 94 I haven't heard of.

"Thirty-seven?!"

Man, it took me a while to figure out how to correctly spell TurboGrafx 16.

Michael Corvin · 12-02-08, 12:47 AM

I had to google turbografx for the spelling.
