It's really annoying when people just keep listing systems, or game titles, etc. until someone tells them they are right. Is there a reason you started to doubt your 2600 answer a moment after you posted it? Did you find an Intellivision ad all of the sudden?

Here. my guess is it is one of these:

Atari 2600
Atari 5200
Atari 7800
Atari XE
APF M100/ imagination machine
Acetronic MPU
Action Max
Bally Video Arcade
Bandai Supervision 8000
Casio PV1000
Colecovision
Coleco Telestar
Creatavision
Cassettevision\Cassettevision jr
Commodore 64 GS
Emerson Arcadia 2001
Fairchild Channel F
Intellivision
Interton VC4000
NES
Odyssey 1
Odyssey 2
Odyssey 3
My Vision
RCA Studio II
RDI Halcylon
Sega SG 1000
Sega SG Mark 3000
Sega Master System
Tomy Tutor/Puuyta Jr.
Voltmace Database
Vectrex

If you'd like, I can post each answer in a separate post.
I was just guessing, and I also see that there are no wires, so I know all of mine are wrong. :D

I'll probably regret this later, but fuck it. I'm having a pissy week and I don't give a shit at the moment.

Guesses are fine, but vomiting a million answers is kind of against the spirit of the contest and as D put a bit more nicely, irritating. If you have a guess or two, go for it. Then if you're not sure, go do some research. Be that in your own pile of retro stuff, or consult the google. When I was answering previous contests, I'd go do my best to verify an answer instead of posting 5 times in as many minutes. Granted as I've demonstrated, I have the occasional anal retentive tendencies, but come on guys.

Just typing every possible answer makes it less fun for others who are trying to answer, makes the thread less fun to read, and certainly makes it less fun to run the contest. I was hoping that asking people to limit to one answer per post would curb things, but I guess not. :x

You could just limit the number of answers allowed per question. Or you could require a certain amount of time to pass between answers.
