I did Plan C -- digging my old carts out of storage. I couldn't find my Intellivoice, so a cheap replacement's on its way via eBay so I can play Bomb Squad and Space Spartans.
So I now have eighty-six games on my dresser, not including duplicates (I have four or five Burgertimes, for instance). I'm missing thirty-nine, which are all from 1983 or later, and am now puzzling out which of them are worth hunting down that won't cost an arm and a leg.
In the meantime, between Astrosmash, Treasure of Tarmin, Dreadnaught Factor, Beamrider, Thin Ice, Microsurgeon, Lock 'n' Chase, Bump 'n' Jump, Shark! Shark!, Tron Deadly Discs and Tower of Doom, I don't think I'll be leaving the house this weekend.
