Late Xmas gifts 2011, Thanks Santa!

Postby crustyasp46 » Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:39 pm

Yesterday, New Years Day, 2012, I had a visit from my daughter Carol. Bearing great presents to her dear old Pop, (me).

To quote her< " I do not understand your fascination with this junk you collect, especially at your age. But, being Christmas and New Years, I brought some STUFF to throw on your junk pile."

Small drum roll here.

The junk she brought was a Vectrex Arcade System, unfortunately no games or screen overlays, but extremely nice.

An IntellivisionII, 4 controllers, 11 games,boxed, with overlays, manual, power supply and RF adapter.

Not a game console, but part of the junk she gave, TRS-80 Micro Color Computer, boxed, Ram Expansion, power supply , RF adapter, book--Getting Started With Color Basic, 4 cassettes with a variety of programs, And, the warranty, instruction sheet for the Ram expansion module - ( wonder if it is still valid ).

Being, never the one, to look a gift horse in the face, I had no alternative , but to accept this junk as late Christmas gifts.

I think I am slowly winning the battle with My kids or at least wearing them down to accepting my idiosyncrasies. Whatever their thinking may be, Thank you Carol, Kevin, Josh and Sissy. :D

Whoa, nice haul! I'd never turn down a Vectrex either! :cheers:

I hope that one day, when my Daughter is older, she'll be as willing to accommodate her old Dad with some cool retro gaming "junk". :D
