My first memory of owning a console was with the Amiga 500 followed very closely by the Amiga A1200. My actual earliest memory of any sort of console/games machine was the Nintendo Mario Bros. 'Game and watch' handheld. The game that best stands out as the highlight of my retro years was Sensible World of Soccer on the Amiga. I spent many hours on that game.

But strangely my love for the retro did not start until a few years ago, not surprising really as back then, there were not really any 'retro' consoles to talk of. In the last few years, or more specifically, in the last year or so my collection of all things console has grown.

For the sake of it here is what I own.

Amiga A1200, Intellivision, SNES, NES, N64, Dreamcast, Master System I

PS2, DS, Xbox 360

Game & Watch (Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Versus)

Spectrum + 2, Game Gear, Lynx I, Atari 7600, Neo Geo Pocket Color

Barcode Battler, Game Boy, Game Boy Color

There are a few others which I will list soon.

As for consoles I am primarily after:

Vectrex, Tomy Tutor, Virtual Boy, BBC Micro, Fairchild Channel F, Odyssey, Famicom, MegaDrive.

But I will take any others too...

Hope you enjoy the site !!
