Not bad, just for fun. I got only 7/10 and the three I got wrong I had owned at some point or sill do. Oops.
-
8/10 Missed the IBM portable (thought it was Compaq and the other I missed was the Saturn (thought it was a Panasonic).
Really British contest with the ZX, the Spectrum and those Acorn machines. Too little Atari mentioned IMHO ;)
-
Yeah, really hard for the US folks with all those European models. I missed one of the Sinclairs and the Mac one for 8/10.
-
The console ones are ridiculously easy.
Come on now, a Neo Geo and a Saturn versus that other stuff?
I think they could have come up with some more obscure consoles. how many people have seen a CPS changer, a pico, or sega wondermega?
-
Yep all where easy except the ones not from US, not sure I have even seen some of them before, but as an emu guy I have played the games for um I'm sure so names where fermilier.

7/10 and only reason I got the "PET" one wrong is because the screen wasn't green! (All the PETs we used in high school had green monochrome screens)
-
7/10 got the Portable wrong - never seen an IBM portable - seen a luggable.
Thought the Apple was a Apple I - but silly me it was a II. Had a IIse so I should Have known better.
Cannot remember the other one I got wrong, but its a by product of using the Nostagic Memory Machine...you use it and it conks out. Or its the mind shielding me from the nightmare of fixing all that old crap and installs on the weekend with no pay. :dizzy:

8/10. I'm a Super Mario! Still, needs more Vectrex! :)

I've seen all three of those someplace or another (An old friend of mine owns a Pico...I wonder if he'd sell it to me.). Still, very obscure they are.
Still, why stop there? How about an RDI Halcyon, a Fairchild Channel F, or an Adventurevision?
-
9/10 Woohhoo. stupid cpc got me.
-
it helps to have an intrest in retro equipment, and I have more than half of these (10/10 although honestly the sinclair zx80 was a guess)
