Miscellaneous Items These don't really belong here, but have been included for their general interest or novelty value.
 T-Mobile MDA Pro |
 Nintendo / Time Out - Game and Watch - Toss Up |
I began this collection around 10 years ago, with the intention of collecting every home computer I could remember from my childhood, and anything
noteworthy from later years.
This soon crossed over to games consoles and handhelds too, though I'm less concerned about the vintage of these,
as consoles are generally considered retro as soon as they're no longer current generation.
I picked these machines up from a variety of places, including car boot sales, Game Station shops, ebay (obviously), and a few were donated by my girlfriend.
Clearly, this collection is a work in progress, as there are some very obvious omissions, such as Nintendo's NES, Sega's Master System, the Acorn BBC Micro,
assorted Amstrads, many Atari computers, and a whole lot more.
The intention of these pages is to provide useful information to collectors... the kind of thing I myself would have found useful when looking at retro computers and consoles while browsing ebay. Obviously, I can't compete with the likes of Wikipedia for weight of detailed information, but for concise details that will be useful to console and computer collectors, I hope this site will prove less heavy going.
Please note: None of these machines are for sale, so please don't email me asking if I will sell one to you.
