My video game interest started with the Atari 2600. It was a good
machine for it's time and my friends and I spent many hours enjoying the
system until we wore out all of the switches. The next system that I
owned was the Nintendo Entertainment System. The graphics for the time
were great along with the large selection of games. After these two
systems, I basically forgot about video games until I entered college.
Here I rediscovered the hours of entertainment provided by video games.
A friend of mine I lived with got me back into playing and collecting
classic video games. Majoring in Electrical Engineering did not help
much either, since I was learning about how these darn things work.
This all occured late in 1996, and now I have quite a collection of
different classic video games and systems.
Notice: I have now graduated from college and other things now take up my time like a full-time job. I live on Cape Cod, MA and there are not very many places to find video games out here. I have decided to try to get rid of most of my collection and curently are trying to figure out the best way. Feel free to make me an offer on my entire collection. Check out my links while you are here, they have been updated recently.
My Collections:
Atari 2600 This is the majority of my collection since they are most plentiful in the wild although I prefer the ColecoVision and Atari 5200. Atari 5200 This is one of my favorite systems right now, the controllers are great when they work. Atari 7800 This was Atari's last stab at the video game market before the crash. ColecoVision This is my other favorite system right now since it provides the best arcade ports for the time. Intellivision games in my collection. Nintendo Entertainment System games in my collection Neo-Geo, may not be a classic, but I just picked up this system recently and am looking for games for it.
