10 minute quiz: name your systems

[Cynicaster]

quiz

 

I'm kind of disappointed at how poorly I did. How about you? Be honest--no cheating.

 

EDIT: it's for systems released in the US only, including portables.

Heh, if that's not bad then I feel better about getting 39.

I got 41.

"You got 52 out of 68 answers correct."

 

Not bad! It was easier once I realized that you can do handhelds as well

55 of 68.

 

I missed:

 

 

[*SPOILER ALERT*]

 

 

 

 

 

Nintendo Game & Watch

Emerson Arcadia 2001

PV-1000

Turbo Express

Watara Supervision

Mega Duck

Tiger R-Zone

GamePark 32

Tapwave Zodiac

Ngage

XaviXport

Gizmondo

GP2X

 

I have to call shenanigans though, since a couple of those aren't really consoles, and some others were not released in the U.S.

 

Also, I'm not sure why the Odyssey 400 needed to be in there. Nothing against the Odyssey 400, but it seems kind of random in this context...and Odyssey is already well-represented with the 100 and 200 (not to mention the original). If they needed another Odyssey unit, I'd say the Odyssey 500 is a much more seminal system (color graphics and player sprites, oooh!).

 

Generally, this is a pretty cool quiz, though. I'm glad it wasn't all Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft systems, with maybe a token Atari 2600 for "street cred."

40, but to be fair I couldn't get a few in there in the way they wanted them listed. like the (well, I wont ruin it for the next guy), which is clearly the way to spell that out.... either way 40 isn't bad for me.

 

Strangely I missed more new then old system.

52

[MagitekAngel]

48 - I didn't think the Intellivision II counted...

[nightwheel]

Here's my results:

To be fair, I did use google to look up the proper spelling for "Intellivision". But thats the only time I used google.

 

Another thing, how did I forget the Game Gear and the Master System? Especially since they came to mind while I was doing the quiz.

I got 46/68. I would get another one, but I couldn't figure out how to spell it.

[A_Locomotive]

I got 0. I was expecting it to be like quiz where it gives a bit of trivia or shows a picture and you have to name it. I'm a complete moron when it comes to actual release dates.

Same, I didn't try it. I would probably get a few right, but I don't remember the dates all these things came out. If it was a bunch of pictures and said, "What system is this?" I'd probably do okay.

[CGQuarterly]

You don't have to remember dates. You just type the names of as many systems as you can think of and it fills them in next to their release year.

 

I got 47/68 and didn't miss any systems of importance. Pretty fun.

I got 38 or so. Fun, but it's odd that it has some pong clones, but lacks RCA studio 2 and Video Pinball (it has pinball and breakout, so it's not single game, though still not cart based). Not to mention the disclaimer that it lacks single game systems but still including pong and game and watch (single game stand alone handhelds). Also, it includes Intellivision II despite that it's just a smaller version of the Intellivision. Sega CD-X should have been left out too.

Ah, thanks. I tried it and got 42/68.

[Crazy Climber]

I got 46 right, even nailed a few of the oddball ones. There were a few I saw afterwards that I could have thought of with a little more time but 2 that I have no excuse for missing were the Gamecube and Vectrex

Haha, yeah, I missed Gamecube too. And PSP. Talk about stepping on your dick.

[AtariLeaf]

I guessed Atari. . . after that I drew a blank. Didn't know other systems existed.

[Animan]

I saw some kids doing this while we were at computer camp back in Summer of 2010. When I named more than half the list, they knew something was wrong with me .

There we are. I went a LOT better than expected- all the consoles that are in red, I've never heard of.

 

Gave up at the 2 minute mark, couldn't guess any more (got an extra 3 out of it, I've never heard of the CD32- trying to make the CD 32X )

[DickNixonArisen]

Yeah, why is the INTV2 counted when GEN 2 and 3 or INTV 3 aren't? Etc, etc.

 

Still, fun quiz.

 

39/68

 

Missed odyssey 100, 200, 400

Astrocade

Game n watch (not one system)

Emerson Arcadia

Lynx

Jaguar (!)

Virtual boy (!!)

N64 (!!!)

GP2x (thought it was GPX-2 OR GPX2)

flashback 1 and 2 (not a real system to me, more like a jakks pacific tv plugin)

Intellivision 2 (wouldn't take INTV 2)

Turbografx-16 (wouldn't take TG-16 or TG16 even though it was happy with NES and SNES), or my mispelling of "Turbografyx-16"

 

what about the wonderswan? no us release I guess

[Sonic R]

I got 51…

 

I missed the Telstar as I kept spelling it as 'Telestar' and it doesn't have Adventurevision or RCA Studio II on it… also, was the Amiga CDTV released in the USA?
