Collection from the Byond

[byonddrivn]

I've been working on a photo catalog of all my video game related items and decided to share. These are all things I've collected over about 35 or so years. Unfortunately I don't have the space to keep it all set up anymore since I don't really have a game room at the moment. I'm starting with the pre-crash items and I'll be adding pics as I have time and, best of all, it'll be with unnecessary commentary by me.

 

While my Coleco and SNES collections are my biggest I understand this is AtariAge so I'll start with.....

 

The Hanimex 777 - yes, that's right, straight from a garage sale for $2 and I can't seem to get it to work. We're off to a good start.

 

Next up are my 2600's. A Vader and a Jr. long rainbow. Looking to get a Heavy Sixer one day.

Of course you need games. With the exception of Solar Fox and maybe some homebrews I'm pretty much done collecting for this system. I think it's 71 games in all.

Still sealed copy of Sprintmaster

These are the most played here so they get easy access.

Here's some controllers.

You can never have enough paddles.

 

If your wireless controllers don't have an antenna you're doing it wrong. There's some extension cables in there for good measure.

 

Some 5200 love, for some reason I really like this system, it's too bad the controllers really make it hard to enjoy. With box & Atari VCS adapter with a broken reset switch. Other than homebrews, I think I'm done collecting for this system. 33 games.

 

Gotta have the games.

Some homebrews.

Some 5200 controllers. The one on the lower left is a paddle I built for Super Breakout, Kaboom, and Pole Position. I never installed a button for the shifting tho.

My boxed 5200 Trak-Ball

 

On to the 7800 and my small game library. I don't really give this too much attention and there's not many games I want for it but it's nice to have. 7 games.

My Intellivision systems with Intellivoice module, Model 2609, Intellivision II, & INTV System III. All are beat and need TLC.

 

Intellivision games, other than Diner, Thin Ice, & Venture I'm done collecting for this system. Standing at about 40 games.

Empty boxes, some homebrews, & a sealed copy of Tron's Solar Sailer.

 

My boxed Odyssey 2 system with The Voice.

 

Other than maybe some homebrews and War of Nerves I'm good on the O2. 26 games.

 

My Colecovision collection. It's my second biggest collection only rivaled by my SNES. Here's my main console with a NES controller I modified years ago. I also own 2 Adam's (1 is in it's original box) and parts for a 3rd but I'm not digging those beasts out right now.

 

Some extra systems and a plug with an inline power supply. I have another console that I took apart somewhere too.

Games, games, games. Most the games are bagged now. After realizing that I didn't have much time to play when my son was born I cleaned them all and bagged them up for a later day. Over 100 games and going strong, would like to have the whole collection someday.

Some homebrews, Adam Test Cart, & 128-in-1.

Some boxed games.

 

Some controllers that need a little repair here and there.

 

More controllers.

More Coleco. First, my main items for use. I only own 1 roller controller (I'm such a rookie).

Some SAC's and another Driving controller with an extra pedal and battery cover.

A boxed Coleco system, a brand new SAC (don't know why I took the other one out) & and ANOTHER driving controller, new in box.

More controllers, mainly for use with the Atari expansion.

Random boxes for 2600 and Coleco.

 

My Vectrex. Gotta love it. Somewhere in the basement I do have the original box with styrofoam from when we bought it. I'm don't feel like digging it out right now, you're just gonna have to trust me.

 

I don't know what I'm doing here with this system. Been collecting games for it for what seems like forever. Would like a multicart but I had owned so many games by the time one came out that I just never got to it. I'm at 22 games and I'd like to get Pole Position, waiting on Packrat games to get the labels done and I'm hoping to just buy a repo off of him.

The game with the partial label is Rip-Off and the game with no label is Armor Attack.

Some homebrews.

 

My dad bought this system when I was a kid and he was never known to do anything half-assed so he bought the extra controller right away. It's pretty much new in the box but every 4-5 years I pull it out and test it for about 20-30 seconds.

Quick story, when I was 10 or so my dad owned an electronics store and we went to a local electronics show. They had the Vectrex on display there, I spent almost the whole time playing the launch titles and with the light pen. He was impressed with it and decided to become an authorized seller. Most of this is the brochures and whatnot from then. Somewhere, in an undisclosed location, (it's even a mystery to me) I have his original Vectrex dealers card too.

 

Here's my dedicated systems. Need the extra set of controllers and a power supply for the Super Pong IV. And I'd like to get a Odyssey 4000 someday but other than that I don't play them much except Video Pinball once in awhile.

 

Here's the 8-bit goodness. NES consoles and controllers.

 

Some extra controllers.

 

Can't have fun without the Power Pad, even tho I've never tried it.

 

Some Game Genies and my small Famicom game collection.

 

Game collection Part 1

And Part 2

 

And a couple I missed.

 

Of course the Sega Master System can't be forgotten. I'm looking to pick up R-Type one of these days but this is pretty much it. Sorry for the blurry pic. The loose carts are Lord of the Sword, Monopoly, Parlour Games, & Space Harrier.

Some boxed Master System games.

The Colecovision stuff looks familiar. Stack of Colecovision and one working power supply.

Ha! Well actually I have 3 power supplies but since I have 6 consoles I get your point. I'm hoping to get a built-in power supply on 1 some day. Seems like there's people around here who will do it.

Showing some 8-bit love on a Monday morning.
