like I said, mine is boxed/minty if you need pics or quotes from the box/manual, etc.
Colecovision is a great pick! How did this one slip by so long? I remember seeing Donkey Kong and was blown away, but went the Atari 2600, 5200 and later the 7800 route due to name recognition.
If you do a Commodore 64 101 later, I can help add information to this. it was my gaming machine that kept me occupied during the NES, Master System, SNES and Genesis era. Some real jewels I can share trivia from my signature link.
Bally Astrocade or the Emerson Arcadia 2001 would be interesting.
Colecovision, Intelivision, 5200 or 7800 would be a bit more "main-stream".
Any of the early Sega systems (sg-1000, 1000-II, 3000, Mark III) would be good topics as well, but you could probably squeeze most of them into a single article.
These articles are probably my favorite part of the site! Great job!
Atari 2600 Jr., NES, Gameboy, Genesis 1 and 2, Saturn, Virtual Boy, Gameboy Advance (with Supercard SD), Playstation (With Goldfinger), Nintendo 64, Playstation 2(modded), Nintendo DS (Fat) with Edge

Great article, Ack. I know how hard it was to find info on it, and it turned out really well.
