What else do you collect?

[level42]

Excellent choice Pieter ! Bring it tomorrow

Which reminds me that I of course did/do collect Level 42 vinyl, cd's etc.

I used to collect......stamps as a child . Collection is still at my parent's attic (probably not far from the Atari 2600) Time to dig it up and sell it

you got any signed stuff? Ive got a few things signed by MK and a dvd that was never released of their guaranteed tour (never released coz i made it myself from the VHS   )

Yeah, I used to be member of the Level 42 e-mail digest (which was great) and we did a number of fan projects. One of them was converting the Guaranteed Live video from Laserdisc to DVD....which was the best we can do I bet (at least better than VHS). The sound is awesome because it was digital. Excellent concert by the way and it has my favorite rendition of Children Say with the long out-tro....

A project that I did was Dreams & Visions. This was a VCD (DVD's was too expensive rare for that time still !) with a compilation of videos that were never officially released but that we had in one way or the other. Most had VHS as source, but some were promo tapes from the record company so pretty good quality. I reworked the video as good as possible at the time, and completely replaced the audio where possible with CD sourced audio. Sometimes a real challenge because often videos have edits that are not on any regularly released album/single.

I also made nice moving menu's, which was pretty advanced for a VCD at the time it was a lot of work but also a lot of fun to do. I even added two Easter eggs

Yeah got a lot of stuff signed by Mark and the other members. When i order CD's or DVDs from Mark directly I always ask if he has time to sign it and he always does.

[atarimania]

those are insane pictures!!!

how many games were that and where did you buy them?

In fact the games were "free".
I saw a post on a forum from a seller that wanted to leave the business, the deal was: come next week end and take what you want/can. I contacted him on Wednesday and I went there on saturday. We filled the car with 996 games (with a lot duplicates), I gave to the previous owner 2 champagne bottles and later I found for him a nice boxed Atmos computer (he was looking for).

I am collecting classic videogames and handheld games;)
But I think I have to sell a lot of these things in the future.

Waiting for that time!
Contact me if you plans to sell them.

I did used to restore Old School BMX bikes (was a massive fan of BMX as a kid and wasn't that bad at freestyle even if i say so myself)...

It was mainly Raleigh Burners i restored as that is what i had as a kid.Would love to restore some very high end BMX eg..Skyway TA,Hutch,Diamondback etc...but majority of that side of BMX is way beyond my financial reach...

Here's some photo's of my collection (a few have been sold but i do still have a few left...).It was mainly factory spec bikes i liked to restore but i have done a couple of 'custom' builds as well

MK1 Supertuff Burner (Factory spec)



MK1 'Red' basic Burner (Factory spec)



MK2 Superburner (Factory spec)



MK2 Ultra Burner (Factory spec)



MK1 Extra Burner (Factory spec)



MK1 Super Burner 'second edition' (Factory spec)



MK2 Night Burner (factory spec)



MK1 Burner GS (Factory spec)



MK2 Supertuff burner (Factory spec)



MK2 Custom burner



MK2 Custom Ultra burner



MK2 Custom Aero Pro burner



MK2 Custom 'Cancer Research' burner



I do have a 'non burner' and is classed as a 'high end model'

My DP Firebird Freestyler

...and also BMX Bandits (the band and the movie with Nicole Kidman)!
I remember renting the VHS and then trying some moves after watching it.
I sucked big time though 


Russ, could you climb on a row of cabs with one of these beauties?

[Belike]

Nice collection, reminds me to a nice C64 game

I've never seen RAD the movie all the way through tbh (i do have it on bootleg)....The film has never had an official release on DVD (something to do with copyright and the director Hal Needham (this is what i read anyway)

[Etienne MacGyver]

I have the original VHS Tape here, bought it when the local videostore closed theyre doors..

I also just found it on Usenet, so there is a digital version of it.

I guess its fine that i download it, since i do own the original tape
