Hi everyone! I, for my part, only collect for IBM. My parents bought an IBM PC in November 1983 when I was only 17 years old (so I am now 36!). A few weeks after that, I bought my very first PC games: Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0 and Microsoft Decathlon. I'm glad that I still have both of these games, as well as the original IBM PC! 8-)
I have been collecting PC games since then and I must have now somewhere between 1000 and 1200 of them I'd say (I don't know the exact number right now). I now collect every game genres but, up until 1996, I had never bought a single adventure games because, as a player, I did not like that kind of games very much. Now, as a more serious collector, I try to acquire the classic adventure games as well. I have been suscribed to the swcollect mailing list for a few years and I have read several of your messages over the years; I have even done business with some of you on a few occasions since 1996. However, I am sorry to say but, up until now, I never took the time to write and send a single message myself! Now I finally have! 8-) Richard Boulet ----- Original Message ----- From: Karl Kuras <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 10:44 PM Subject: Re: [SWCollect] New topic--Collectors UNITE! > Seriously, we all are rather young.

It would be interesting to see what systems each of us mainly collect for. I'm guessing it'll reflect our age. I'm mainly (virtually only) C64 and Amiga stuff. How about the rest of you?
