>> All I can say is what no Atari AT ALL
First, keep in mind this is just a tentative list, nothing is decided. Deep breath. :)
This kind of thing is a hard decision. I asked myself, in the grand scheme of microcomputer evolution, how historically important is (for example) the Atari 800 vs all the other 8-bit consumer micros?
One could ask the same question about (for example) the TI-99/4A. If either of these didn't exist, would anything be different today? What did either of these bring to the table that others didn't?
Not picking on them. There are plenty of Atari fans among us. Just thinking aloud: what would we remove from the list?
As previously stated, there are good arguments to have all of these 24-28 and many others.
Continuing to think aloud: I should have included a sentence about which each one is important.
Please show rational arguments for any particular system that you think should be included and what (and why it) should be omitted to accommodate it. Merely saying "But you left out my favorite" doesn't help. :)
