BOOM! I agree, this conversation begins and ends with Intellivision. Additional games:

Auto Racing
Shark! Shark!
Snafu
Star Strike
Sea Battle
Skiing
IntelliVoice - B17 Bomber
D&D - Treasure of Tarmin (I believe one of the first ever "role playing" and "first person view" games)

I just was in Bed Bath and Beyond as I was trying to sell such gift card I received for Christmas. I ran into the weirdest thing..

I think Atari has repackaged all of their games together in mini classic system? called Atari Classic or similar. I saw two versions. Each had about 6-8 games. One version had "Frogger". The other had "Asteriods". I was looking for something more my speed- "Pong". The system? was retailng for $39.99 I believe.
 
My Faves that i could recall each system Other than Madden/Ncaa football:
Nintendo- Punch Out
64- Goldeneye
ps1 (i think)- Twisted Metal
Xbox- Halo
PS2- Godfather
Ps3- mass effect series/skyrim/ batman

Try MAME. If you still have the ROM carts in a box in your attic, you can download the games guilt free.

Ash, you slinging bed, bath and beyond gift cards in the mall? Are people willing to buy? I would assume some would want validation of balance prior to purchase .

Tecmo bowl was good, but the John madden games were better. I think I was in my late 20s and played it on sega and thought it was awesome.

Hopefully you had Sea Battle - that was the king. Baseball, Astrosmash, Snafu, Skiing, Horse Racing were my other favs too.

I didn't get into games until my 40s lol. Went straight to PC and have about 175 games on Steam now. I tend to not like the console ports but on a console they might be ok. Always wanted to try Final Fantasy VII (Playstation) just because its still epic with so many people (girls mostly it seems)

Amazon product ASIN B01N07VE70
This listing is basically the mega-sized version of what you saw. It's over 100 games, lots of them no-name, however. This is the 7th version of the Atari classic. I have the first 2 and I think they're pretty awesome. This one has bad reviews though.

Both of these were awesome in the day. Can't wait to get the new NES retro system, it includes both games.

Remember spending the day at Six Flags and putting quarter after quarter into the World Series baseball game? That game was amazing!

Big yes. That's why we went to Great Adventure, for the arcade games - WS, Discs of Tron, and I remember a very good hockey game (forgot the name).
