Decided to finally join the forum. Someone over at IGN or CAG directed to this site a while back. CAG's been helping me take care of my current gen gaming needs. Now that I'm looking for the older games and systems that I never had and ones that were sold, this site have has been good source of info.
Now for the sad story about my missed score. A long time ago, my parents worked at Magnavox in Fort Wayne, IN. They did some work with the guys doing video games there. It turns out my parents, before I was born, had Odyssey or Odyssey2 games that were not released to the public. These were games straight from the developement lab. They were just bare boards. They were stolen from their apartment. :angry: :angry: :angry:
Not quite a score, but it would have been neat to stuff like that. My dad mentioned this today as I was talking about passing on an Odyssey2 with the original box at a thrift store. They were wanting $20 for the console and $3 for each game. There were like 20 games and each looked complete with box and instructions. I might go back and see if there are any harder to find games. The collector in my is saying to get the console. Are there any lists of games and how rare they are in a printable form?
