I have to say, I really like adding 7800 games to my collection. Whenever I see one sitting in a pawn shop or thift store, it's like finding a little nugget of fun that most people don't appreciate... But I get all excited!

Lucky! The two shops that would occassionally get Atari swag closed up in the last year. As retro as I can get now is nes. The sorry economy has finally reached my favorite pasttime and it makes me grumble.

Given the semi-rarity of all three of those, buy them.
Assembling a full set of 7800 games is one of the easier classic collecting tasks, and it's well worth it when you can look down and see an A-Z of every released cart for the 7800. Satisfying.

Considering what I had to pay for Motor Psycho and Planet Smashers, you got a seriously good deal.

I've had trouble finding 7800 games at my local stores or the flea markets... if I owned the 2600 man I'd be in paradise. I don't mean to butt in on this thread but I did order 2 Joypads from Best, and yesterday picked up a loose Galaga for $6 off ebay

Helpful hint: Buy large lots of 7800 games on Ebay. Pick out the games you need. Put the rest back on Ebay. You get your carts and probably break even on what you re sell. Or find out if the rest of your duplicates someone else needs here in the marketplace.
