Missing Systems

You probably noticed a few missing systems like the game.com, Bally Astrocade, CD-i, etc.. since this article was already too long I have those in a follow-up piece called Closing Time: From the Floor of Grif's Tavern which is dedicated to some of the more obscure consoles produced. The only system I'd like to add to this page is the Colecovision but I can't find anything that points to what the last release was.

Anything not listed here or on Grif's Tavern should be filed under the "not relevant" category. This would include semi-educational cartridge-based systems aimed at kids, computers marketed as game machines (Atari, Sega, NEC, and Commodore all made things like that), and several other handhelds that didn't break into mainstream retail.
