Hi, all. I'm Matt Barton, one of the editors of Armchair Arcade. I came across this website after reading Michael's book on Collectible Microcomputers. I'm really more into "vintage gaming" on computers more than the computers themselves, though I come from a background in Commodore computers (started with the Vic-20, then the C-64, then C-128, Amiga 1000, Amiga 3000), and then finally jumped ship for the PC in the mid 90s. I think my interest in collecting computers came when I first opened my Amiga 1000 and noticed the names of the team carved into the underside of the cover. What a machine!!
Anyway, I don't know how many of you here are also interested in gaming, but I want to personally invite anyone who is to check out our newest issue (we're up to 4, now). There are articles here in game audio, the history of artillery games (which mentions such classic systems as the PET), a fairly comprehensive (though not even close to approaching Michael's book) interactive matrix of 75 game capable systems, and much more. We are strictly a non-profit, non-commercial website!
If you'd like to check us out, the website is http://armchairarcade.com
Thanks!
Matt
