So my sisters boss used to work for atari back in the early to mid 80's, and during that time he assembled quite a collection of atari games, systems, memorablia ect.....well long story short he figured he was to old to try to sort through it all and try to sell everything individually, so he just gave it to me. Alot of the stuff was junk but there was some good stuff in there. Theres maybe a box full (30-40 games) of 5-10 games. Heres some of the more intresting stuff I found

The Waterworld and Smurfs Rescue the Day are pretty cool. But with Motorodeo there was a huge find about 3 years ago that has made that game a $10 game loose.
