Well today I took my VCSp to the surplus electronics store that I get my stuff at to show it off. Everyone was really stoked on it. They loved it and played it until the batteies died. We had it hooked up to there TV and everyone was watching.

A guy I have never meet said come to my car I have some stuff I want to give you if you can give it a good home. So I went and took a look.

He gave me an Atari heavy sixer, A supper charger with 1 game and about 10 atari games in the boxes with manuals., A Colleco Vision with donky kong cart , An old school Atari ultra pong console, and an old school Atari video pinball console. He also had Paddles, joysticks, and racing controlers for the 2600.

He gave it all to me FREE. And said by the looks of your portable you will give these a good home. Merry Christmass.

I just had to share my good luck with others that know what a cool gift it was.

That's so cool. Though honestly I think at times I feel like doing the same as that guy. (Then again, if I did, I'd be like "Dang, I have a hankering for some Pitfall... ah poo!" So I don't.) Kudos to him though, and kudos to you for making someone believe you won't destroy his old Atari for your portable gaming obsessions

That was very generous of him, congrats on the big load of early 8bit gaming equipment.

That reminds me, my grandpa had an odysee a few months ago in the box with a few games, but there was no odysee actually in the box :'(

The odyessey is sooooooooo funny. It's all machinical the 2 was digital but the first one's cartridges would just unlock certain parts of the motherboard.
