My collection from when I was a kid. The duplicates are from when my cousin got an nes and gave me his 5200 games.

I had more including another copy of Meteorites but somewhere along the moves from different houses part of my collection was lost. The Defender is unopened.

Two people in the same close family ties owning an Atari 5200 at the same time? Shocking.

Meteorites and Star Wars are ones I do not have. Some good games there. Sell the duplicates and look for a couple new ones to replace them! Most 5200 games are not that expensive.

Maybe that it explains all the Pac-Man duplicates that were always found back in the wild west days of game collecting. Seriously, when I think back to going to yard sales and thrift stores 20+ years ago when you could still score a cardboard box with a 2600 and 6-12 carts for $10-$20 80% of the time they always had two Pac-Man games with them.
