    See those numbers on each box, like “66″ on the Asteroids box? That is how many GAMES they claimed for each cartridge. What it really meant was how many variants of the game were on the cartridge. In Asteroids case, it was like 1 good version (the main version) and 65 crappy variants.
    See the game “Warlords”? That game came out on Xbox Live Arcade Summer 2008. What’s old, is new again.

    I had one of the storage consoles, too. See that wood grain? Mister, that’s REAL WOOD.
    But what’s inside? That’s not an Atari or Intellivision. Could it be a Colecovision?

    Moab. Good call on the variants. The only game who did that right was Combat.

    Yeah, every game had a bunch of variations on the game, so everything was kinda like 50-in-1 type deal. Flipping those switches on the Atari changed the game versions.
