Hi people, I came across this site while browsing the Atariage website, and seeing a link for the 2600 Encyclopedia.

I have a fairly extensive retro collection of consoles, from the usual suspects like Snes NES, Master System etc., to the more obscure, like the Vectrex, Virtual Boy, Amstrad GX4000.

But my main interest in retrogaming is in the 2600. It was our first console at home growing up, a woody with Centipede, Combat, and my two favourites from back then, Solar Fox and Joust.

I remember going to my cousins house and seeing Pitfall! for the first time, that was my  moment, it blew my mind, a scrolling platformer instead of one single screen, we all know that feeling as a kid when you see something you can't comprehend!

I have a couple hundred 2600 carts now, and a good few signed by their programmers, from the likes of Rob Fulop (Asteroids), Warren Robinett (Adventure), Steve DeFrisco (Motorodeo), and one of my favourites, Halo 2600 signed by Ed Fries. Plus I have some kind of rare Homebrews, like Boulderdash and Princess Rescue, both CIB.

I also have managed to complete the PAL red label collection of 2600 games, Vanguard was the hardest of those for me to find, but BMX Airmaster was the most expensive. If my wife knew I spent €100 on one piece of plastic, I'd say heads would roll...

So that's it, I'm glad I found this site, another good Retro site bookmarked!
