Hey Brett!  Welcome to the SAGE!

Well, good luck to ya...

I just looked thru my Dreamcast collection and couldnt find any white swirls, just black swirls on the orange spines.  Is it possible that its a repro boxart?

Tacos are hard to get right as I like my mexican food authentic because thats how I had it growing up.  I never eat tacos when my wife makes them cuz I call them her white girl tacos.  With that said, tacos are another easy item that I cant cook myself either.

July 22, 1901 the first LITERAL video game was patented.

This meets the definition of requiring a video screen. To exclude this, you would have to exclude a PS5 connected to a project, but also count it again if it's played on a TV.

These shooting galleries were popularized from 1912-1915 too, so they had a history that's been long forgotten.

Those shooting galleries should be classified as "arcade," or "amusement" games.  One of the precursors to video games.  Just my two cents!

The only thing I would swap my games out for would be a car.

Did that when I was 15/16.  Had to buy it all back at higher prices, considering most of what I had were gifted to me at some point.  Im sure you would too...

OXO and Tennis for Two might have a word with you.

My quick research says that Tennis for Two was finished about 4 years before Space War.  Good call!

Im pretty sure Space War was the first video game.

Is your mortgage distressed or underwater? Is your collection worth lotto jackpot numbers? Because otherwise I agree, this is dumb. Tell them to sell their car or something they like

As far as I know, I could pay my mortgage off twice with the value of the collection, but its not worth it to me, and were not in any trouble of paying the bills.

Everyones response from there is saying something like, if I ever needed the money bad enough, atleast I could sell some stuff to pay the bills, which makes no sense because they know Ive been running a gaming business since 2008, which pays the bills, but people just dont understand.

Just to clarify, youre talking about Surprise at Dinosaur Peak correct?

Every single person that has seen my collection in person has said I should sell it all and pay off my mortgage, but I always say that would be dumb, because I would just be starting from scratch again to get to my collecting goals, which I am still far from.  I dont hang out with anybody who understands video game collecting, especially when they find out that Ive never played 90% of what I own, and dont even intend to, other than testing purposes of course.

Too bad you had to give him up.  

..Semi-Random PII Story:

A while back I ran into a guy on the street carrying around a White Fox.  He said he'd gotten it with "Papers" from a breeder in another state.  IIRC the papers were mainly to prove that this Fox was from a line of foxes that had been acclimated to being around humans for something like 5 or 6 generations.  His neighbors called the cops on him and when the cops got there he just showed 'em the papers and they were like "Cool Pet.  Carry on."  Super neato pet but from what I understand Foxes while closely related, lack a great deal of the social charm associated with dogs...

Interesting!

Unfortunately I was at a point in my life when I didnt really follow any rules, so Bowser didnt have his shots or license yet.

...So, someone was breeding Bobcats and not telling people that the kittens were Bobcats?

I guess that would be the case...  Worked out for me!

@SilverspoonGaming I had a Pixie-Bob once upon a time.  I loved that cat -had a ton of personality.  How exactly did you come into possession of a Bobcat? 

I picked him out of a litter, and he ended up growing a really thick mane real quickly, so it was an accident.  They were only advertised as kittens for free, and I guess I just got lucky.

Yes, there is.

I don't have one particular system I collect for the most

Well, thats not necessarily "all"

Old school, circa 2006, my first pet as an adult was Bowser.  He was a bobcat that liked to lay on my lap while I played on my PS3.  He was a kitten here, and unfortunately had to give him up after a couple of months.

Apple Pippin

Probs wont play it for more than 5 mins, but you could say that about half of the consoles in my collection already.

Theres no option for all...

Dixie Kong and Dudley from Street Fighter on the green couch, and Ivy the Kiwi on the blue chair.

I wasnt aware there were revisions.  Following....

That’s an interesting idea. I like it!

Maybe some Mario Bros spaghetti. 

Toadstool mushrooms, celery that looks like warp pipes, etc

What if we try to put a gaming spin on each meal?  Atleast appearance wise.
