So I bought every one I could find. Then I got online and found my games were WORTH SOMETHING. So I started collecting. I still have all, well almost all of  my original games. Including console games, started with the 2600 (actually had a standalone Breakout machine before 2600, might still be around somewhere). My originals mean a lot to me, for example I picked up complete mint in box Montezuma's Revenge for 2600 but I'd never sell my cart only, peeling label original :) Yeah I DID toss the boxes for most of my original 2600 games :( My mother actually had them stored, I cleaned up one day and tossed them. SHE told me that was not smart, she heard games were worth more with original boxes (this was a LONG time ago, hehe, if you're all going to start guessing my age again I still won't tell ;)) Talk about the opposite of "Mom threw it away"!!!
