I went to the thrift store at the end of the day today, almost didn't
go, but I'm glad I did.

In the section where they have all the btapes and stuff, I saw a row of
black cartridges. I thought they were the same common Atari 2600 games
I passed on a few days ago, but upon closer inspection, they were Atari
7800 games. There were 27 of them at $2 each, and I bought them all.
They are:

Jungle Hunt
Super Breakout
Qbert
Mario Bros
Counter Measure
Vanguard
Dig Dug
Space Dungeon
Star Raiders
Kangaroo
Space Invaders
Moon Patrol
Centipede
Buck ROgers
Defender
Gorf
Galaxian, Berzerk
Star Trek
Pac Man
Football
Qix
Frogger
Missile Command
Gyruss
Star Wars
Joust

I looked all over for the game system, but couldn't find one. I DID
however find an ATARI power supply plugged into the wall with nothing
attatched to it. The plug says "part C018181" - Is this for a 5200?
Also found an Atari 5200 controller. No system anywhere in the store
though.

I went back today to the thrift store and found MINER 2049er for the
5200 in with the 8 track tapes. I must have missed this yesterday,
because it was dated the 7th. So I got 28 5200 games in all. Not too
shabby, a pretty nice collection.

How many games came out for the 5200 anyway? More than the Colecovision?

there, Not counting the Homebrews and New releases from First Star
software this year!
