I'm sure many people have no clue about the size of my collection, sure. It's not something I usually mention in person, I don't wear (or own much) videogame clothing, etc. However, that is one part of why I have the website and write the threads I make -- I am love videogame history and games in general, after all, so the articles, summaries, etc. exist in part to encourage people to play games, particularly older ones. Videogame history is history too, and since I love videogames, I love videogame history. Oh, and probably "I love (gaming company/genre/what have you), so I'll make a list about it!" doesn't make sense to some people, but it does to me. :)

Odyssey 2
--
Matchmaker!/Logix!/Buzzword! - complete, $6 including shipping. This game is a 3-in-1 collection of keyboard games, so they use teh O2 keypad on the system instead of controllers. All three are recreations of popular games -- Matchmaker is Concentration; Logix is Mastermind; and Buzzword is Hangman. All three are solid versions of the games in question, and Matchmaker has both 1-player and 2-player modes, where in two player modes the two compete to make more matches. The games has no options at all, so there's only one field size in Matchmaker, random word length in Buzzword, no difficulty settings in Logix, and such, unfortunately, but what's here is pretty good for the early '80s. The visuals are just basic numbers and words on solid-color backgrounds stuff, no graphics at all, but they work for these games.
Also, I'm working on a big post that will list all of the import stuff I never did list here. It's a lot actually -- I just checked the thread, and not even mentioning the new stuff, there was a bunch of stuff I got last year that I never posted about for various reasons. I'll fix that soon.
