Pac.attack, just looking at those pictures brings back great memories. I had a lot of fun playing many of those Colecovision cartridges with my friends in the early 1980s. I was always calling them, asking when new releases were coming out. In fact, I still have their phone number memorized, 800-842-1225.
The Atari 7800 came out just as the whole video game industry was collapsing (imagine THAT happening now!), and dedicated games for it were hard to find. In 1985-86 or so, I used to go right to Atari headquarters in Sunnyvale where they had a small "company store", and they sold each of the new 7800 releases for $10-15 each. I think it was right after that when they went out of business or were bought by Jack Tramiel, and the 7800 went away.
