Let’s see if I can remember what I’ve got…

To test my memory and give you an idea of what’s in my collection, let’s see if I can list all the computers and video games I currently have. (Note: I’m only going to list machines, not how many of each I have. (Yes, I do have multiples of many of these!))

    So what’s the cut off for Amigas? I know it should be the 500, but dangit, I love my A1200;-) What might be cool to add to the site is a repository for all the old Amiga demos. Those guys did some amazing things with those. Of course I didn’t appreciate them at the time… but that’s a different story;-)

    So what?s the cut off for Amigas?

    At this stage I wouldn’t really get too hung up about what is in or out to be honest. The video game side of things is easier to define (pre-crash) but home computer has a slightly more flexible definition in my mind. All Commodore Amigas are fine (up to and including the 4000) as are all Atari STs. In my personal collection I count the early Macintoshes, mainly because I really wanted one back in the day. Where would I stand on the Archimedes? Hell yeah - they were darn cool machines. NeXT? You can bet that I wouldn’t hesitate to add one to my collection. Early SUN and boxes? I’m not too sure…

    So to recap: Anything Commodore, Atari, Sinclair and pre-PPC Apple; anything with 8 bits or less; anything that could reasonably be called a Home Computer through the 80s; and anything I want in my collection! ;-)

    Of course I didn?t appreciate them at the time? but that?s a different story;-)

    Sounds like it might be a story worth hearing…?
