OVGE 2006 stash
And now…the stash.
Finding a vendor on the floor who was selling copies of Electronic Games Magazine for less than ten bucks was a joy to behold – I got January through August of 1983, and December of 1984. (The only issue I had before today was July ’82.) I’m aiming for nothing less than a complete collection of EG.
Big thanks to Steve W for the mini-disco light – it was smaller than I thought, but y’know, that means my wife will kill me about 30% less than if I had brought a huge, hi-fi-speaker-sized disco light (which Kent also called a “color organ”) home with me. 😆 Steve also gave me a stash of VIC-20 games so I can get started on archiving that machine!
Brian brought me the Apple joystick there – many thanks. Of course the book is from Rob’s table and I gladly plunked down the cover price and promptly started looking for my name in there. 😛
Linda’s Action Figures sold me the 2600 Raiders cart and manual. Believe it or not, I’ve never touched this game before. That’s also where I got the 2600 manual, just ’cause.
A huge thanks to both Steve and to Mr. and Mrs. MegaManFan for the six-pack of Dr. Pepper straight from the plant in Dublin, TX – where they still use real live sugar! Kent and I were wide awake for the trip home, that’s for sure. 😀
As always, a big thanks to Kent for coming with me yet again, and to Jesse Hardesty and his crew for putting on the show where all this fine madness took place.… Read more
