OK...I'm turning into a Vintage Electronic Game Collector

LEDFreak

I have over 300 board games...mostly euros, but I am now starting a new obsession...collecting these handhelds that I used to play back in the 70s and early 80s ( I'm 40!)
I am receiving little packages in the mail every day it seems, of games I have won on eBay.
I now have 20 of the little buggers, a half decent cross section too. Coleco, Entex, Bandai, Mattel, Parker Bros, Milton Bradley...sports games, dexterity games, thinking games. I love playing them still.
There goes my pay check!
I think I will probably stop when I reach fifty games or so... yeah right!

Ahh, I remember those days, when I actually thought I would stop some day. I only wanted to fill up this one little curio and then I was going to stop. I didn't even purchase boxed games because they didn't look good in the Curio. Boy how things have changed.

Yeah i thought that 50 was almost too much... i'm now getting close to 100 in a bit more than a year. Seems like there is always 2-3 per week that i need Laughing

I guess once you start it's pretty hard to stop Mr. Green

But it's a really great hobby ! Just love those games !
