    I got 34 out of 64.. Fore-warning, stuff like spectrum zx and commodore aren't listed as they are classified as PC's. Not bad though! No cheating. Even hardcore gamers like dlofnep will struggle with some.

    I got 39.

    A few screamers I missed. Should be shot for missing out on the N64. TurboExpress was on the end of my tongue. I put in TurboDuo but whatever way I put it in it didn't recognise it.

    Where's the 32X?

    32 :( Completely forgot about the NeoGeo/NeogeoCD/Neo Geo Pocket Color How the hell..?!

    Also, I really think the Sega Mega CD & 32X should have gotten a mention (As they would have brought my score up :D)

    32x wasn't a console, just an add-on so it doesn't count. I tried it too :D Sega CD was an add-on also. But Sega CDX was a full system.

    38. I was reading an article about old consoles a couple of weeks ago and remembered some of the obscure 80s ones.

    I got 40 overall, once the curtain came back to show the missed ones I felt a bit had, especially as they included things like the Atari Flashback and the Flashback 2 as consoles when they should be excluded by their own definitions, as they are merely expansions of the 2600 and 7800.
    I forgot the Saturn and Neo Geo CD, and I own them!
