Don't forget there is an NES version of Ballblazer that pales in comparison to the 7800 version in every regard.  The same goes for the Commodore 64 version (say it like Charles Barkley:  Turruble)

I would say that about a few 7800 games vs NES but many would disagree.
There was a reason why when presented with the Famicom (Japanese NES) in 1983 many Atari engineers saw the MARIA (7800) as being more advanced. Other issues were at okay in that decision as well, but when properly programmed and not penny-pinched to death in RAM and sound, Atari 7800 can be tremendously capable. 

Lemme look through my dups.  What 7800 games do you have?

By trading I was meaning trading with other members here or elsewhere.  Like trade a game for a game?  No money involved other than shipping?  Something like that.

I’ve been looking for Desert Falcon and Xenophobe for the 7800.  

Members trade games with each other in the forums all the time 🙂

I'll try to check my dups box later today, but I don't recall having any 7800 extras.  I *do* have some extra 7800 game manuals if anyone would be interested in those.  Free for the cost of shipping or some kind of trade for atari.io friends. 
 

Well, I purchased a lot of 7800 games that includes Joust, Dig Dug, Asteroids and Centipede. 
 

Sounds like you’re off to a good start on your journey into the World of Atari 7800! I think those games are awesome on the 7800 and will bring you lots of arcade fun for years to come 

And that takes away some of the duplicate games I have.  I think I still have a few you don’t have.  You will have to update us on what games you have now.

I just bought a Lot of 10 games that I should get my the end of the month. I have Pole Position 2, Robotron, Mrs Pac-Man, Galaga, Food Fight, Dig Dug, Joust, Asteroids and can't recall the other titles coming. 

Those were the only duplicates I would have had.  So I don’t have any extras I can send you.  Sorry.

Congrats!

I’ve had an all-in-one personal stereo ldentical to this one:

Mom was a crazy picky about stereo gear and I don’t know where she got it from.  If the tape decks did not have Auto Reverse she was not interested…at all.  
 
When I turned 15 my mother took me to wal-mart to find me a birthday gift. I couldn’t find anything.  NES games were of no interest, a lot of the music then was not interesting to me.  Mom said to help her find a cassette tape and then we would go someplace else.  
 
Our Wal-Mart had a habit of placing non-Sony branded Walkman units in the middle of their tape shelves.  That’s where we found that little unit above.  I still remember it being $20.  I got a few blank tapes, some of the early gray Koss earbuds for like $5.  And some batteries.
 
 I have to admit that little player impressed me.  It had a really good sound.  Every year after that Mom replaced my players with new Emerson models and would grab her one as well to listen to when she laid out in the sun.  But that model above was my go to unit.  I loved it.

I have pieced together a “hi-fi” sound system.  Every piece of it bought not working at Goodwill.  I fixed all of it up.  It includes a 600-watt analog receiver with AM/FM, 5 Disc Changer (you can change other discs while one plays), dual cassette decks with Auto Reverse (remember when that was a huge thing), and two Technics turntables; one direct drive from a radio station according to Goodwill, the other is a fully automatic belt drive model. Both have new stylus setups and the belt drive has a new belt.  Everything else is Sony other than the two TTs.  When I get home I’ll take pics of it.  
 
I know some people say they like the fact they can have all their music in the palm of their hand.  I get it.  I love my iPod and iPhone too but there is just something more interesting, interactive, involving using analog gear that can’t be experienced any other way.
 I’d prefer vinyl and cassettes over MP3s any day.  CDs are even starting to be phased out looks like.  You can’t find a Discman anymore. I’d like to find an old Emerson personal cassette player like I had back in high school. I played the heck out of that thing.  I had my own stereo setup then with tons of vinyl, I’d make mix tapes and take them with me to school.  When teachers were done I’d put headphones on and do my school work.
You have not lived until you have spent hours picking out songs, adjusting the recoding volume per song, timing everything, just for about an hour and a half’s worth of ear pleasure.  I never had a tape that had more than 10 seconds of blank space on the ends.

My family had an all-in-one stereo at one time, with a record player, radio and 8-track player. We eventually got rid of it. The record player was needing repairs, but everything else worked on it. I would listen to Chicago on the 8-track tape player. Glorious sound.

Very true!  I have a small stack in my attic (turntable, tape deck).  I sold off the analog receivers long ago.  Although I still use a digital receiver under our family room TV setup.  It drives a 3.1 set of Bose speakers that has a nice "boom" to it. 

I've contemplated changing to a soundbar system, but in the end, I'd really miss that ability to switch between input sources so easily.  We have a blu-ray player for movies, a USB drive for music, a Roku, and two loose HDMI connections for connecting a laptop or game system. 
 

My parents had a Magnavox brand console stereo for a few years.  It was fried twice in Italy due to failing/faulty power converters.  Then somewhere between 76 & 78 Dad switched to a component setup, which was real nice.  It's interesting now that many people do not even have stereos anymore, but use bluetooth soundbars to use with their cell phone or TV.

I should have mentioned that my parents never owned one of all-in-one units but I had an aunt who did.  We always had fun playing with the equipment when we visited. She even had a TV with an early remote control that actually moved the channel dial when you pressed the button to change channels!  That was so cool!

I’ve got a small bunch if 8-tracks I found but no way to play them. One tape is the Grease soundtrack and I have Three Dog Night with the song Old Fashioned Love Song.

This is the closest image I could find. Not my picture.

I use to keep my feet under the TV to keep them warm from the heat the TV would put off.
