Software and Books
Some boxed Amiga software titles, hanging Coleco brand game cartridges for the Coleco Vision, various books and manuals, and promotional videos, CD's and tapes... |

|
Atari Force Comic
Not mint, but still a neat "Atari Force" videogame-related comic book. I have a decent overall collection of game-based or game-related comics... |
|
|
|
Software Boxes
Boxed: Coleco Adam, Apple II, Avalon Hill (various systems), C-64 and PC software (including the collector's edition Civilization III). The tops of the Odyssey 2 and Atari 2600 "Jr."... |

Comics
I don't really collect these, but I'll occasionally pick up a Simpsons or Buffy comic, or anything else of special interest, particularly if related to videogames. Title-for-title, it's a pretty solid collection overall... |

Sony DV Video Camera
This is just a generic shot of how I set the camera up to work on editing some of the digital video shot with it. I sometimes hook up my old Commodore Amiga 1084S monitor to this camera, which makes a good external monitor (in place of the fold-out viewscreen)... |

Legionnaire by Avalon Hill
Another wonderful, sealed eBay find of the Avalon Hill variety. Most of their games were crap, but as I stated previously, the packaging was usually exquisite and there were a few solid titles, like this one, which was programmed by a not-very-anonymous (except to Avalon Hill), award winning and now legendary game designer, Chris Crawford. |

Boxed and Loose Software
Boxed and Loose Software: Atari 7800, Arcadia-2001, Coleco Vision, Coleco Adam, Apple II and C-64 |

Promos and Mailings
Promotional cards, stickers and other mailings or inclusions related to gaming. Also, some more shots of collectible magazines and booklets and some miscellaneous club stuff (like Myster Science Theater 3000, Doctor Who and Cathy Dennis)... |

Simpsons Hit and Run Hat
A shot of the hat you got for pre-ordering the Simpsons Hit and Run game (I have the Xbox version). The SNES and some books are also pictured... |

More Promo Stuff
Stickers and other videogame-related inclusions... |

Trading Cards
I was actually surprised in looking at my bound card collections (not started until much later in my life) how diverse and exciting the population of cards are. There are two binders worth and there are some nifty game and popular culture related themes and series in there... |

Controllers
To the left is a quality Wico joystick for all Atari pin compatible systems, like the Atari 2600, Commodore 64 and Commodore Amiga. To the right is the really great Atari 5200 Trakball, which is in stark contrast to the really crappy pack-in Atari 5200 controller. |

Board Games
Yep, lots of board games too. The most interesting board game in the picture is the very deluxe Sid Meier's Civilization: The Board Game. This is a massive board game with tons of pieces and rules, but I am a really big fan of the Civilization computer games, so I really wanted it regardless... |

|
Peanuts
Considering how massively popular the Peanuts were and still are, it's bizarre that more videogames and computer software have not been produced for the property. Here is one of the latest for the PC... |

Prince of Persia
A developer friend in the art department at Ubi Soft's Montreal studios shipped me this awesome Prince of Persia: Sands of Time bundle for the Xbox. The poster and bag are awesome, but the real highlight beyond the game itself is the incredible hardcover book and journal, which I don't think is really available anywhere else... |

Workshop
An updated view of my workshop. I've been doing some modifications, including adding more shelves. Also, I procured some more great boxed software... |
