I'm basically putting the handhelds in with the consoles of their generation like the Gameboy with the NES. 

My life basically began at the creation of video games, but why not go even older. I can't play the games of the future, but the deep past is accessible. 

No CEO? Only middle management? Everyone has their interests I guess. 

I liked the concept of Time Soldiers a lot. I should try that one again. 

I remember seeing other Atari systems for sale at Radio Shack back in the 80s and was always curious about them. It would be neat to pick up an Atari 7800 and dig deep into its library. I may do that someday. 

Back in the late 70s and early 80s my neighborhood friends had an Atari 2600, Intellivsion, Colecovision and various Mattel handheld LED systems. That was all I knew about back then. I learned of the Astrocade in the 90s when my friend and I used to go flea market hunting for systems. We never picked one up though. Seems like it had the potential to do well because it was a big thing back then to have a console play games like in the arcade. 

Funny, I was named Ungh in one of my past lives. I wasn't into fire though. Fire bad!

It's an interesting idea to me to "play cars" in a video game. It gets me thinking how, as adults, every game has to have progression, a story, collectibles, loot, and various other ways the developer directs your experience. Why not just a virtual rug with a city on it and you can do whatever?

I, ultimately, have little interest in VR because the whole reason why I game is so I can trash talk with my friend sitting next to me. 

Yeah, if I include stuff like the Vectrex and such things get really messy. 

I was interested in the other Atari systems back in my collecting days but I never found them locally or had enough games I wanted to really pursue them.

It all gets pretty messy trying to define definite time periods for all this stuff. It seemed like 5 years was a generation until gen 7 and then they get longer like 7 years.
