I remember well when these little beauties came out. I ended up getting a Galaxian, Pacman, and Frogger. I never did have Donkey Kong or Ms. Pacman. Fast forward a decade and I left home to go to University. I returned back to my city but my parents had sold our family home to my brother. He took it upon himself to dispose of all of my possessions.

I finally decided to get these little pieces of my childhood back and in finding this forum I added a couple others as well. This is the current state of insanity:

So... The theme of the collection (for the most part anyways) is handheld standup style arcade cabinets. The 5 classic Colecos are there plus Zaxxon and Donkey Kong Jr. Then the three Excalibur games are there and the one that may not really fit is the Dracula.

Next step is to gather a second set of the classic 5. Right now I have two (a second Pacman and Donkey Kong). Ideally I would use the two to make one that is pretty much mint and a second one with the appearance issues which I will flip. I also have a Frogger coming in with the green decal on top. Will be interesting to see if it is identical to the black label Coleco Frogger or if there will be a slight gameplay difference.
