Ah... We used to have a GameGear.

Basically, it's a very very crap version of what PSP is. But you have to remember that this was AGES ago, ahead of it's time. Pretty bulky.

I've heard of the Famicom, Lynx, Unix, GameGear, and Jaguar. Don't know much about them, except the Famicom. I think that was the first disc based console. *Revolutionary, but flawed.*

Amiga is an old type of computer
Famicom is the Japanese name for NES, Super NES was called Super Famicom
Gamegear was Sega's first handheld system, competitor of Nintendo's Gamboy
Jaguar and Lynx are old Atari made consoles
Nuon, Playdia, and Zodiac, no idea
Unix is an operating system. It has nothing to do with games.

Amiga - old computer
Famicom - Japanese name for the NES
Gamegear - Sega's handheld
Jaguar - Atari's console. To put it one way - it was crap.
Lynx - Atari's handheld. Its short battery life was its main downfall
Unix - Its an OS of some description.

No idea what Nuon, Playdia, Zodiac or Channel F is.

I wouldn't consider the Jaguar crap. It was the first 64-bit system.

:-) Correct. Not widely supported doesn't mean it's crap.

Also, if you didn't know what *nix is, that is just sad. It is what the vast majority of websites are hosted off of, and is gaining market share every year. Who uses Windoze anyways? I'll stick with Ubuntu/Debian Linux.

True true, and popularity by mass execution and advertising WAS Nintendo's specialty

Actually though. Videogames have changed. The processor architexture isn't as important anymore as far as "64bit" "128bit" due to the most recent generation of systems and using dedicated video processors. If you really thing about it, had they put the 128 bit CPU with a videocard like the gamecube or Xbox had, we could have a higher level of graphics.

All the Disk system was was an expansion for the famicom and allowed it to use floppy disks for games.
