Wow.

I just noticed Rik sold ALL his games to the NVM!?!

Geez. That sounds crazy but NVM (www.nvmusa.org) appears to be a really nifty, well-designed place for your collection. I hope to visit one day.

But the www.handheldmuseum.com website is an AMAZING reference for all the early handhelds.

I hope you don't miss your games too much, Rik.

Yep, that's the one in TX, near Dallas. That's run by the guys that used to the Classic Gaming Expo in Las Vegas that I would display in every year. They finally got a permanent location for the museum, and it was time to let everything go. So much of it was just boxed in storage anyway. I was hoping to get more of them emulated in MAME before I let them go, but the timing was right...

I'm still maintaining the website (well, as much as I have the last few years... Mr. Green )... I won't let that part of the collection die!

Did you get a good price for the lot?
