That is so COOL! Not just the Intellivision, which is cool enough, but to see all of this unfold in the forums. I can't tell you guys how surreal it is to see this community take off like this. What a great bunch of people you are. 

Got my first trade in today & introduced my 13 y/o to the wonderful world of Intellivision!

Waka waka waka!  Thanks for posting this.

I like classic rock from 60's to 70's some twisted sister as well and definately KISS
but I also like the old classics like dean martian and francis (frank) sinatra, this is due when I was growing up
my dads radio was on old time station that played the music from from the 50's my favorite sinatra song
has always been New York New York folowed by my kind of town chicago is.

I'm mostly into prog rock, but I like many genres.   I like bands like Haken, Yes, Dream Theater, Flying Colors, Spock's Beard to name a few.
 
I'm also a big fan of classic jazz and swing, prog metal if the singing is clean, and Leonard Cohen (because he transcends all genres.

They Might Be Giants? You Win!

You would love the EMP museum in Seattle Washington.  They have a whole section devoted to Jimi Hendrix, and a rotating collection of his stuff.  Wardrobe, instruments, written notes, etc.  It is totally awesome. 

Experience, Axis and Electric Ladyland are all incredible. I love Tom Waits and The Dead Kennedys as we.

That right there is my favorite 7800 game.  I'd like to get the Colecovision version.  It's quite terrible with giant, single-colored players.  Still, this is one of those games where you MUST own every version. 

Hey thanks again , but Dr.J kicked my (Larry Bird) ass again this time only 88 to 59.

Thoughts: Where would the collector world be without clear plastic tubs?

Hey all:  Today was the day for the Cowlitz Gamers for Kids show in Longview, WA.  That's about 50 miles away for me, so I decided to go.  And here are some pics to share. 
 
It's a great cause, but the show is pretty small.  They're in a new space this year, and it seems much smaller than when I went a few years ago.  No arcade games to play was kind of a bummer.  But they had some really nice sellers, which was fun. 
 
This was the free-play area.  No real exotic systems, and it was pretty small this year. 

 
An overview of the booths.  Lots of cool stuff here.  There was one Jaguar for sale ($150!  A little too rich for me), a Vectrex, and bunch of the more modern Nintendo stuff.  Good deals on systems.  A boxed Odyssey 2 for $40.  Atari 2600's for $50.  Sega Genesis seems like the low point of collecting these days...$10-$20 will get you a nice Genesis at a show like this.  Find a show like this if you want a particular system!

 
Trophies for the Super Smash Bros Brawl (Gamecube) tournament.

 
WOAH!  Look what I found.  Yes, I did come home with it.

 
Atari carts can still be found.  Which is good. 

 
More overview

 
Atari Pinball!  That knob is exactly the same as the VCS paddle knob.  Nope, I didn't buy it.

 
Someone decked out a VCS in pirates' booty for the silent auction.  Very cool.  Reminded me of the Swordquest prizes. 

 
More Atari stuff.  Good.  Can't let Nintendo have all the fun.

 
Action figures too.

 
 
It was a good show.  I didn't stay long thanks to a sudden migraine.  Plenty of fun.
