This is awesome.  Got a package in the mail today - my mom went through some of the old things in her basement and sent me over our childhood ColecoVison!!  This is just too cool - has all the pieces, the add on Super Action Controllers, all the original owners and game manuals plus Rocky, Donkey Kong, Q-bert, Zaxxon, Cosmic Avenger, Gorf ....  I am chomping at the bit to get this hooked up.

Yeah, yeah I know - I am not a real video game nut, but we do have a Playstation 2 {I love the Hot Shots Golf and Crash Nitro Cart} and some of the Playstation 'museum' games are out there....  But I am getting old, and pretty soon, my boys are going to be old enough to kick my butt in pretty much any of these games as my reflexes and memory for all the darn button combinations goes bye-bye.  So, I figure my only shot at some redemption will be blowing the dust off this baby and leveling the playing field a bit - I better start practicing!

We never got the bolt on computer with our ColecoVision game console though...  what the heck was that thing called {see, that memory thing is popping up already...}  Couldn't convince my dad that we needed it - and our school had just gotten a new Apple IIc ....

Thanks MOM!  I promise that I will get my homework done first!
