Was this Christmas in the south when that pic was taken? (It looks rather warm, with everyone in shorts...) I didn't take a pic of mine when I got it. Nice thread idea though  |

Michigan are you still there and if so any chance you can take a picture of your state bird the Mosquito?  I haven't been up there for a while now and kinda miss seeing those big things. |

^Why would you miss those?! Well I don't have a pic of when I got my 'trex, but I just noticed I filled out the date of purchase on my registration card...holy crap!  And part of it's MISSING, meaning I had sent in the form to get my Passport/Vectrex newsletter!! I don't even recall that. Damn, too bad, I could have been one of the very, very few people to have one of those nowadays  I guess it was just too late in the lifespan (or not) in order to have gotten one. |

7/30/84 - the cover of the Passport says "Summer 1984" on it, so there's a good chance you're right...just a little late.
I love this still - I have a couple items in my collection from original owners that I like to keep around for the history. One big collection I bought (most of my boxed games came from it) had a homemade checklist of games that included 'Batter Up', and I love my overlay sleeve with a bunch of high scores written all over it.

(sobs  ) One big collection I bought (most of my boxed games came from it) had a homemade checklist of games that included 'Batter Up', Guess they were looking forward to that one, but didn't have something to "officially" check it off though I love my overlay sleeve with a bunch of high scores written all over it. That's cool...I don't like having things written on my stuff! Oh well. |

That's cool...I don't like having things written on my stuff! Oh well. Nor do I, usually. There's a select few things I don't mind, like those high scores, the 'I <3 Nintendo' on the styrofoam of my NES Action Set - or my autographed games... |

David Crane (programmer) Pitfall 2600, Garry Kitchen (programmer) Keystone Kapers 2600, Bill Carlton (world record holder) Missile Command 2600 and my favorite: Ed Fries (programmer) Halo 2600 - that one is personalized!

Hey, that's cool indeed. I'm not much for knowing who programmers are, much less wanting autographs, but for Activision/2600 stuff I'd make an exception for that |
