34. Atari cartridges

During my usual Saturday morning spin around the 2nd hand shops I stumbled across a couple of boxes of old atari carts. Unfortunately they weren't at the usual "we're just giving this shit away" prices (but nothing is anymore, I blame ebay), but that didn't stop me from having to buy each one that I didn't already have. There are so many more important things I could have spent the money on. Adding them to the existing pile and it's starting to look pretty impressive:


I've run most of these through the rarity guide at Atari Age and unfortunately I'm coming up a little short, I believe they should have paid me to take many of these. Except perhaps for this Atari 7800 32-in-1 cart (believed to be Aust only) and the "double ender":
