Classic Gaming Collections

(we played a Tank game to death - first breaking the joysticks (which i fixed as a kid), then wearing out the fire buttons (which I also replaced), and finally killing the electronics. Wish I could find another one of those. I currently have only a few things of this nature: - Magnavox Odessey 1 (and a box of parts - my original one died when I was a teenager and was summarily stripped) - Atari Lynx (not sure I or II, but I have a couple and at least two copies of Xenophobe for linked play) - RCA Studio II (and 4 carts I just got at the Dayton ComputerFest) No Atari 2600 or Coleco or any of the other cool stuff from the old days. 8-bit Ninetendo and Sega Genesis and the like are too new to be interesting. The cool part about what I do have is that each one is special in its own way - the Magnavox, as most of you probably know, is analog. The Lynx is an early color hand-held, created by former Amiga guys, and is 6502-based (one of my favorite processors). The Studio-II has an 1802 inside, one of my other favorite processors. I've heard of a home-computer kit for the Studio II and someone (perhaps on this list) promised to send me copies of the info, but it's never materialized. -ethan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
