I just found a folder of old pictures, and it was fun to look at the state of my collection 22 years ago when I lived in Washington, DC. All of these games are long gone...A lot has changed!
First up, the row in my garage. From the back:
1) Championship Sprint. One of 2 I've owned over the years. I believe I sold this to someone who is a member here.
2) Galaxian/Galaga. I believe I painted this black and sold it as a Galaga (sorry, Galaxian fans. I wouldn't make that choice today).
3) Nintendo Super System. This cabinet was in remarkable condition, but the board didn't work. Sold it to a local collector.
4) Baby Pac-Man. One of 3 I've owned over the years. I believe I sold this at auction.
5) Forgotten Worlds. I remember buying multiple complete, NOS control panels and some PCBs, all for less than $50. I also remember selling the kits to people who I think are members here for about the same price. Ooops! Still one of my favorites, and wish I'd held onto one set up.
6) Area 51/Max Force Duo. I remember feeling cool that I had a "new" game in my collection. I think I sold this one on eBay.
7) Atari Tetris in a Blasteroids cabinet. Always intended to restore this to a Blasteroids (I still have the boards). I painted the cabinet and sold it a couple months after this picture was taken.
