Never mind. I found the answer here in the forums, though, oddly enough, I had to use an outside search with +Telegames +2600 +"M-Network" to find it. http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=35286

I just got a Saturn and I love it so far. The Action Replay can be found for $25.90 with $2.80 for shipping at play-asia. mcvans.com has the Saturn MSX collection brand new for $10 + around 6 dollars for shipping. Imports can be found for cheap from reliable sellers on ebay.

Where can I find more info on Telegames carts? Will the Bump 'n Jump fit inside other older 2600 models and the Jr.? The Sears/Telegames Video System I have is a six switcher with black plastic. The Telegames Bump 'n Jump was the only game I tried with it that didn't fit. Do other Telegames carts have trouble fitting in this model of the Sears/Telegames video system? Is there a way to mod the carts?

Activision Anthology GBA does have most of the Activision made games, most of the Absolute Entertainment 2600 games, some activision prototypes, and some excellent homebrews in it, though. About the only Activision games missing from it are lincensed ones like Ghostbusters, Double Dragon, and Commando. Despite the lack of Imagic games, it actually has more games than the PS2 version. Some games don't run at full speed in the GBA collection, but they are still playable. I like how the collection makes compsation for the controls of some games by providing extra controls with the L/R triggers. It's very helpful with Decathlon. Yeah, as said before, Atari Anniversary has no 2600 games. The arcade ports in it are very nice, though. It's definatly recommended for Tempest on the go.

I just received the Marble Craze and Telegames Bump 'n Jump from Atari Age today. Excellent shipping and very well packed. Marble Craze is my first homebrew game on an actual cart. It plays great with on my SEARS/Telegames Video Arcade with actual paddles. Cool music too! Oddly enough, the Telegames Bump 'n Jump doesn't fit in my SEARS/Telegames video system six switcher (I thought it was a light sixer, but now I'm not so sure. It plays every other game I tried, including Imagic games, which, oddly enough, work on my newer model 7800 too), but it works great on my 7800. Is this a common problem with Telegames re-releases? Will the game fit in a 2600 Jr. or other model 2600? However, despite the Telegames Bump 'n Jump not working on my SEARS/Telegames video system, I'm quite satisifed with my first Atari Age purchase and I will definatly purchase more games from them. Also, at least Bump 'n Jump works and that's the main thing.

I have been playing games on my Sears Telegames light sixer. I also have a 7800, but I haven't used it in awhile.

Ugh. I don't care much for Seanbaby.com. Super Pitfall does suck, but I don't feel it deserves scores THAT low.

I like the 2600 version of the original Breakout better than the arcade one. The better graphics and extra variations make it more fun to play.

I tried it out. I think the graphics seemed to be more enhanced than the SNES version, but I found it to be a very odd version. The control is somehow slower than the NES one and the music is almost completely different. I acutally like the different music, though. I didn't like it as good as the NES one, but I found it to be decent. IMO, the worst version of Ninja Gaiden is the Genesis version. It tries to mimic some aspects of the arcade game, but is missing many of the better elements. The Genesis version has some strange auto scrolling that hampers gameplay.

I don't understand the point of avoiding games becuase they are kiddie. Some of the best games out there are so called "kiddie games". The GBC has a better screen than both the GB and Game Boy Pocket. It also has some excellent games like Dragon Warrior III, both Zelda Oracle games, Metal Gear Solid/Ghost Babel, Toki Tori, Rayman, a color version of Link's Awakening, the better versions of Joust/Defender (compared to the GB b/w Defender and Joust. GBC Joust/Defender is backwards compatible, but not recommended for older GBs), and more. Also, the colors aren't dark on GBC like they are on the first GBA. Even if you only play b/w GB games on it, the GBC is still a better choice than either the fat boy or the Game Boy Pocket. GBA SP is also good for playing classic GB/GBC games. GBC games look better on it than on the original GBA thanks to the light. The fact that it plays GBA, GBC, and GB games with great compatibility is very cool.

Out of the 2600 hacks I tried, my favorties are Space Invaders Deluxe, Bottomless Pitfall, and Hack 'em. I like how SI Deluxe simulates the color overlays of the arcade game.
