Ok...I am geezer gamer at 34, but he is missing WAY TOO MANY systems for this to be the ultimate, although the quantity is impressive. I am not trying to rip on the guy, but there are alot of other old school systems out there. TO me, by far the coolest old one is the Vectrex.
He DOES NOT HAVE;
ColecoVision (Smurf Wars...Whats blue and smells like smurfette? Papa Smurfs Finger!!)
Atari 2600,5200 (first pause button, thank you, thank you!!),7800 (funky non-centering controllers)
Vectrex (all-in-one vector graphics unit)
NEC Turbo Graphix Portable (first active matrix screen in a portable AND had an optional TVtuner/Vid Input)
Atari Lynx (either flavor)Very underated, died a slow death. first functional head-tohead real-time connect)I have a developer manual if any one is interested.
Intellivision (either flavor)lousy controller..hated it
Magnavox Odessey (look like it was made by Kenmore)
Any flavor of PONG
Atari Jaguar (to little, too late)
Orig Gray Gameboy (mem-reeesss...like the corner...)
Neo Geo Portable(gotta get one before they disappear)
Sega Gamegear(ditto)
Did I miss any? I am sure I did, but this illustrates that the TRUE ultimate collection would be far wider in scope.
