Tri-State Area game collectors may want to take out a second mortgage. The ultimate nerd basement, stacked to the rafters with classic video games and computers, will be put up on the auction block in New Jersey on May 31.
This is no mere hobbyist’s garage stash. Page through the photos taken by auctioneer Bodnar’s Auction and you can get a sense of the enormity of it all. There are vintage computers from all over the world, from common sights like the Apple II to never-heard-of-it obscurities like the Tano Dragon or the NEC Trek PC-6001. Often there are multiples of each machine, lined up in columns. There are towers of floppy drives and rows of monitors, all overhung with vast, cascading tangles of ribbon cables that seem to be growing like ivy. And there are games, games, games, thousands of them, crammed into every available nook or stacked Jenga-like in their candy-colored cardboard boxes.
