This is one for you old-timers out there. If you're like me, you dumped all your 2600 stuff around 85 in favor of more Commodore gear. I didn't start collecting for 10 years after that. So the question is two-fold;

1. Can you REMEMBER what games and gear you originally had?

2. Do you have all those games in your collection now?

For me, #2 is a lot easier to answer than #1. The answer to 2 is surely...no! I'm missing my Amiga Joyboard and whatever cart that came with ( Mogul Maniac?). I'm also short a Wico Trackball. And this is not to speak of the Atari Ages and Electronic Games magazines I had back in the day. Otherwise, I'm pretty much set.

As for #1, my list is divided into games I definitely had, and games I maybe had (or maybe borrowed from a pal, or thought I had but really didn't).
