Your collection is amazing. I stared at the pics for a long time, haha!
I've always preferred the big ol flourescent display games, too. The shapes and colorful cases are just fun all around. I have ... |

Oh yeah, I thought it was pretty amazing that Stargate had what appears to be a surface mount IC on the back of the board. Wasn't that pretty rare in the 80's? |

OK, so I paid WAY too much on EBAy for this non-working Entex Startgate. BUT, I have been keeping my eye open for one of these for quite some time and they don't show up TOO often. Hardly ever, non-wo ... |

Coleco zaxxon! My favorite game ever, even though it is painfully difficult. I hate how you can die twice immediately because the game starts you off right where you died. |
