What's In My Parent's Basement - Part 1

Hi Everybody!  It's been a little while but thanks for stopping by for another update from Collect the UNcollected.

So this past weekend I visited my parent's house.  I remember all the things I have but I needed to really explore to take some pictures of things.  Now to give you a little background, I'm an only child.  For some of you, you should know that explains a lot.  I had A LOT of stuff.  But on top of that, my parents always understood the idea of collecting and NEVER threw anything out.

So I snapped some pictures of a few things that they still have lying around.  I didn't setup many things all nice and displayed because they were just so tough to get to. There were tons of dust and cobwebs as you will see from some of the pics.

But there is A LOT to get to so lets get started...

The NEXT GEN of collectible Arcade Games

Ello again everyone! and welcome to another update of Collect the UNcollected...

Before I move on, I just want to thank everyone again for checking out my blog recently.  The more you stop by, the more it helps me and the more I can keep doing research and talking about the great geeky stuff we all love to bullshit about.

THANK YOU!!!

So I've had an idea to do an update about arcade games for a while.  As I started researching, I had an idea to do another take on it.
We all know of the classics like Pac-Man, Galaga and Xaxon, but those are old news.  In the future when there is a new generation of millionaires to collect wild things like arcade games, there will be a new feeling of nostalgia for and a new set of games that give them that feeling.  I'm pretty sure when I go through this list, a lot of you are going to get the same feelings.

Arcade games are not what they used to be.  They are trying to make a come back but the regular two button and a joy stick games are everything but extinct.  Games today are all about gimmicks.  Racing games, games that you need helmets to wear or a giant shotgun to use.  Those games are a blast for sure but I still wish i could walk into an arcade and play some of these...
