All computers and peripherals listed on these pages are part of my personal collection. This collection, and my interest in computers in general, really began to grow with the purchase of my first computer, the Timex-Sinclair 1000, in 1982, though my first hands-on experience with them came in my school's computer lab, which had a network of TRS-80 Model III's, a few months earlier. As you will also notice, I collect early video games. This is because I grew up in what many gamers call the 'classic gaming' era. My first home game console was an Atari Super Pong and I spent a great deal of time in 1981-1984 in video game arcades. It was also around this time that my father gave me a Japanese pinball machine! Around 1982, a friend took me to a warehouse full of video games, new and old, and we spent the afternoon playing whatever games we wanted to, though personally, my favorite game has always been Zaxxon. In fact, a member of my family still has an original 'Time Pilot' arcade machine in his basement.

This collection has been gathered by me, piece by piece, over the last 5 years or so. I spent long hours going through 2nd hand shops and searching the 'Net, trading with other enthusiast. I lack far more machines than I currently have, but both storage and financial constraints will keep this collection from getting too much larger than it's present size. I think it's enough to keep me busy for a while though! Comments, suggestions and corrections are welcome, and in fact, most appreciated. If you would like to provide a description of a system or peripheral currently lacking one, feel free to send it and I'll be happy to give you credit on the page.
