That is very impressive. It would be neat to see how far it would have gone if it was finished. Looks amazing for the system.

Welcome Andy. I agree with you the retro games can be picked up and played and left again without massive investment of time as some new games. Plus I like multi player means the people in the room with you.

I agree with Phil what is missing from a lot of videos are lacking the memory aspect of what it was like to have played the game as a new title, not the retro pickup. Phil does a good job at reviewing the games, but it is the memories that help me appreciate the games more in some case.

That is still some collection and one day I can get close to that but first I need to get a space for a man cave. I like the variety of systems and eras. Are they all hooked up or they in a rotation?

Nice, that one is on my wish list. Just waiting to finish a few more books I am reading before ordering. Have to let me know how it is.

Been awhile since I had a good pickup, but my wait is over. The colecovision lot I won just showed up. It's has bilingual markings and all the manuals are French English. Just have to clean it up and start testing then playing.

Welcome Stanley. I enjoy restoring my retro consoles too. One day I would like to try my hand at an arcade cabinet restoration.

Trek,
Thanks for the article. Very well written and informative. It would have been interesting on how things would have progressed if the crash did not happen. I can see the upgrade the supercharger made. Without the crash, who knows how many more tape games would have come out or how far they could have pushed it.

Another great episode on a game I never heard of. I never heard of the super charger growing up, but it makes since to try and extend the old VCS's life. I think why Fireball was done on the Super Charger and not on a cart is cost. I imagine the cost of tapes versus carts was hugely different and Starpath was setup to make the tapes probably cheaper and quicker than the carts. Just my nickel, because in Canada the penny is gone.

Agree with strudders. Got take care of you. I know personally I willing to wait for how ever long it takes, cause at the end of day it is about the fun of learning about the different and obscure real VCS titles and it's not worth it if your not enjoying presenting it.

My bad I looked again, I see the difference. Never seen the actual ecs connection. Only the keyboards and usually the inteelivision 2 ones

I like the keyboard but that intellivoice looks much bigger than the ones I have. Still need the keyboard but I am building a nice collection of cib games. Think I am up to about 30. All NTSC.
