The last post related to the seemingly endless cleaning of the basement project. All the way into it, the last box held the holy grail. They are not retro games if you bought them new. Two Colecovisons and the original NES, all still work. I knew they were in one of the boxes. It was a nice reward that they were found last. My oldest relationships are in this box (and the sister box that holds the other half of the collection.) Coleco was my first best friend, and we both learned to love NES when he came along. It makes me feel guilty keeping my friends in a box in the basement, but at least the basement is clean.
