So, back in 94' or so I got a Vectrex complete in box with 3-4 boxed games, all complete.
Didn't know much about classic gaming, a a hobby, just knew it was old.
Flash forward 2 yrs, vectrex just sitting in box, doing nothing. I was really getting into thrift stores and Atari. It was all about atari, be damned anything else.
So I advertise on the new AOL that I'm looking for atari Stuff.. What do I have to trade? My Vectrex of course, since it wasn't atari.
In the end, a guy got minty(played less that a dozen times) vectrex, and I got 30 2600 games I needed with the best one being 'Taz'..
Sigh, I eventually got a new vectrex, with games, but it's not as purty as the one I had in a box..
Oh yeah, I was also a manager of Funcoland for 3 years and had scores of nes games come my way, all the rare ones. Bubble Bobble 2, Snow Brothers.. ect ect...
makes me wanna cry.
