Nerdy Nostalgia Bomb

I went home to visit my parents today as well as do the usual things like fix whatever computer problem they have, move furniture, play with my dog Coda.  While there my Dad started talking about going through old bins of all the stuff we had gathered as kids.  Most of it was mine and my sisters but a few things belonged to my parents.  I suspect everyone goes through something like this every now and then.  It is great fun to reminisce about the fun times you had as a kid, but for a nerd like myself, this can be like a treasure trove of nerdgasms.  I only had time to go through about 3 or 4 bins of stuff, there was almost an entire roomful.  Here is what I brought back with me.

Sega Gensis and assorted cables with 1 controller (haven't tested yet)
Sega games:
                     X-Men
                     NHL 95
                     NBA Live 96
                     Sonic the Hedgehog 3
                     Mortal Kombat 2
                     Clue
                      NFL Quarterback Club
Nintendo 64 and assorted cables with 1 controller
Guild Wars Factions poster of awesome female assassin and ritualist
Guild Wars Nightfall poster of awesome female Dervish and male Paragon
an old hard drive, still haven't dove into it
about 15 spare power/audio/video cables and converters, one can never have too many
Gameboy color
2 tetris cartridges for game boy


I can't wait to go through the rest.  My mom said she saw my old regular Nintendo down there somewhere.
