It all depends on which ones O`shea's run out of first and which ones are not that common on other online atari sales sites

I would think Gravitar, Solaris, MS pac man would be a good start for the 2600 and Ballblazer, Ms pac man for the 7800 but this isnt my expertieze(sp?)

in other words i really have'nt a clue sorry

Hello, and welcome to the wonderful world of collecting! Here are two useful links if you're interested at looking at the rarity for various titles:

Atari 2600 Rarity Search
Atari 7800 Rarity Search

You can also use the search box that's located on every page (except for inside the message board area). If you don't enter anything into the search field, all results will be found. But be warned, there are 876 titles in the database for the 2600 just for North America alone.

Hope this helps!

Here, I'll help out with the 2600 games:

With the exception of Football, every game on your list is a AA rarity of 2 (common) you should be able to bump into these games as thrift stores and flea markets with ease.

Perhaps you have the Sears version then? That and the Atari version are the only two Star Raiders that were released on the 2600. While the label, box and manual are different between the two, the game itself is identical.
