Thanks. I will take a picture of the Toytronic ones soon. Not sure why my photos are so large. I will try a different hosting site.

Regards,

Hey Linda!

I just noticed something: in the top shelf in your display cabinet under the "Super Nintendo" sign, it looks like there's a second version of Defender Strikes in a silver casing. Is that correct? If so, are there any other differences from the blue Defender Strikes in terms of branding, the overlay "scene" around the playfield, etc.?

Jason, it only took me 2 years to see this. You still interested or do you have your answer? If not I will check this weekend. I don't remember any differences, but can double check.

If this shouldn't go in the brag section I don't know what else would.

I received final confirmation that I will be in the next book for Guinness World Records! Here is an article and one video.

The GWR article:
https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/.../gaming-collector...

The snapchat video:
https://story.snapchat.com/.../1c67371c.../1143654156380160
It works in a regular browser, but it is bit choppy. In Snapchat it flows beautifully.

There are supposed to be more videos coming. I will update this post when I have them.

CONGRATS Linda! That is so awesome! And it was great to read about you and learn more about your history of collecting the games.

Yessss! Yessss! Yessss! Yessss! Yessss!

I am so sorry to read about the passing of your husband. It's awesome that he got to share in the the joy of an amazing accomplishment.

And no, no Defender Strikes research necessary on my account. Smile In the years since I posted that, I've sold my collection down to 46 and have one last sale to pull together at some point of 9 of the games I will try to sell as a "lot:" 1 each of all the Gakken LSI VFDs in that iconic shape:

Again, CONGRATS!

Thanks Jason. GWR posted one more video this morning. If you like it, please don't forget to share it. Can't wait for the book to be published later this year.

Wow, what an awesome accomplishment. I never even thought about trying for a world record, but I know I didn't have as many games as you do!

When they say 2430 playable 'systems', does that mean 2430 handheld games, or do you have console systems in that collection too?

Congrats! Smile
