I have a number of older game consoles, from the NES up to the Dreamcast, and a bunch of great games for them. I also have a Laserdisc player and a number of movies for it. And finally, a pretty sizable collection of LPs from a variety of genres, but mostly classic progressive rock (why have 25 square inches of, say, the Tarkus cover when you can have 144 square inches?)

Vintage synthesizers.
Ooh, nice. Are we talking Minimoog-era here, or somewhat newer?

Yes, Minimoog-era and also somewhat newer.  In fact, I have a Minitmoog (yes, the 't' belongs there).  It is very rare, but not so sought after, because it is far more limited than the Minimoog and most other Moogs that were produced in larger numbers.
Mmm, sweetness. I've never gotten to play around with real analog synths, but I've had a lot of fun with the G-Force Minimonsta Minimoog VST. Fun stuff.
