Hey All, My brother just returned from picking up some free building supplies from an older woman looking to clear some space in storage. He surprised me with the news that she had also allowed him to take a large (pc monitor) box of what was labeled "video games". Even though he could have cared less about this box he picked it up knowing that I was a collector. It may sound strange but I am very excited about opening this sucker up. To me, and this may just be the historian taking here, this seems like a time capsule. As far as I know the older lady wasn't an employee of a game company or some person with industry connections, just a woman who had kids who were into the same stuff that we all were. Even still I asked that my brother keep the box closed and I even had him tape it shut......I suppose its more of a surprise that way. So what do you all think? Should I be this excited? Has anyone ever gotten something like this (I don't think that this situation is too out of the ordinary)? Also, while I have never tried something like this before, would the "unboxing" be something worth video taping? What do you all think? Cheers Bob

Good looking setup there. As of right now, I'm leaning towards the inty I but I'll let ya know if I go for the II.

Wow...thanks for all that great info. I definitely feel more ready to start my search.

Makes me even more happy to have snagged a copy. And its every bit as cool as he describes.

+1 on 2600 Asteroids...I feel like I always turn it off before actually losing all lives. Also, Space Jockey, while mind numbing, can be played forever...or maybe it just feels like forever.

I agree with Spacedice.....There's got to be a special place in heaven for somebody who played THAT game for THAT long. I figure...he's already been through hell.

Hey all, Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place but I am considering picking up an Intellivision and a Colecovision in the not-to-distant future. I'll,most likely, be looking for them in fairly nice shape (I'm spoiled since I snagged a Telegames Sixer CIB and in beautiful shape). 1. Can anyone give me an idea of what I ought to be looking for price-wise for these consoles (boxed/unboxed in nice shape). or (and this is why I posted in the WTB section) 2.Is anyone selling one or both of these consoles? Again, sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. Thanks

Sorry to see you selling such an impressive collection. You may have to relist a few times to get a buyer but you still might. Good luck

Yes, the one and only AX Awesome...just awesome

I remember that fellow from the Pacman add (last one). Was that Mr. Hooper from Sesame Street? If not...sure looks like him.

Hey All, Just picked up a Sears Telegames Sixer (Boxed with everything but "Target Fun")in beautiful shape. White Sunnyvale Label Ser #: 60143U It has the cutout for a channel Switch but no switch. Cheers Bob

Thanks for the welcome and glad to give this thread a bump. PM sent......looking forward to buying one of these sets. Bob

Hey All, Just stumbled across this thread and wondered if these DVDs are still available. If not...sorry to bump up an old thread. Cheers, Bob
