What It Is

The purpose of the Classic Home Video Games Museum is to introduce (or re-introduce!) users to classic video games. Most of the artwork was done by myself with the help of a camera or camcorder, a paint program, and a lot of patience. All of the narratives were written by me unless atrributed otherwise. Special thanks to Jerry Greiner for letting me photograph some of the rare treasures in his collection.

What It's Not

I'll always be adding items to the Museum, but since I'm trying to keep it general and introductory in nature, eventually, you'll want more than I have!

NOTE: rec.games.video.classic is a GREAT place to ask questions. I often get asked questions I can't answer and refer people to that newsgroup, so check it out!

Newsgroups

• rec.games.video.classic is the "main" group and the most active (about 100 messages per day).
• alt.games.video.classic doesn't have the propagation that r.g.v.c has and doesn't usually have any information you won't find in r.g.v.c anyway.
• rec.games.video.arcade.collecting concentrates on arcade standups, including classic games.
• rec.games.vectrex is devoted to the Vectrex.
• alt.atari.2600 is devoted to the Atari 2600 but like most "alt" groups, suffers from bad propagation. However, it has a few regulars who aren't on r.g.v.c.
• rec.games.video.marketplace is a place to buy and sell video games. The majority of posts are about non-classic systems, and most posts about classic systems are also posted to r.g.v.c (to the dismay of many readers!).
