Well my Commodore is in my closet. It still works but i need to find a AV switch for the TV. My Asterods Deluxe machine sits behind me in the office and my MAME machine (Old GORF cabinet) is next to the desk. I donated my TRS-80 to a local electronics store for a "nostalgic" display he has. LOL My Mac II Plus was an end table for a while, but i actually just threw it away..

I still have all the test drive games on my PC, including the elusive Road and Car add on for test drive 3 which i bought from accolade sometime in the mid 90s after not even knowing it existed. i also had EVERY add on for TD2 which cost ~ $120 all together. the game was $40 and each of the 4 add ons (muscle cars, super cars, cali challenge, euro challenge) cost $20 each. I remember i had all of them but the muscle cars and wanted it and my dad tried to find it and couldnt. IIRC he even called accolade and they said it had been discontinued (this was in 1990-1991 or so, maybe 2 years after it came out) and i was in the mall one time and found it and they only had 1 copy left so i reserved it and went and found my parents. my dad meanwhile went in there and asked if they had one and they said no. so when i found him and told him i found a copy he at first didn't believe me until i told him i had them hold it for me.

another cool oldschool game was the police quest series. My favorite was Police Quest 3. Anyone remember pulling over the drunk driver? after he pukes the cop says "sir based on the tests i have given you (and the puke all over my shoes) you are in no condition to be driving and i'm placing you under arrest"

"this isn't nessethary occifer, i'm perfectidly fine"

I first remember playing computer games on one of these. Classics such as hunt the wumpus and grand prix (it was an overhead racing game where you started at the outside of a track and the winner was the first to get to the middle)

the TI-99

^^ haha

i found a video of hunt the wumpus on youtube. it was a pretty simple game, you walk around a map and you see red circles which means you are 1 space away (or 2 i don't exactly recall) and you basically figure out which square he is in, when you think you are one square away from him you shoot your one and only arrow. if you shoot in the right direction you kill him. if you shoot in the wrong direction he comes out and eats you.
