The easiest flash cart to get for the 2600 is the Harmony Cart. You can load up an SD card with Roms and play every 2600 game ever made. Home brews, Demos and Hacks.

the harmony cart will also play the supercharger games that originally loaded from cassette

 

a 2'nd pair of paddles for 4 player games like Warlords,

 

for Christmas a pile of inexpensive games that you don't currently have already, note the ones you have and look through the "rarity guide" here , some Sears titles have been rebranded from Atari titles "target fun" is same as "air-sea battle"

 

the hunt is half the fun finding local shops & digging through a soda box from the back room

 

a separate pair of driving paddles is great for "Indy 500" (aka Sears "Race") , Harmony cart will be good to play the "hacks" listed on that link.

 

EDIT: some "DC" hacks aren''t listed there http://atariage.com/software_hacks.php?SystemID=2600&orderBy=FunctionalHack&orderByValue=Descending

My experience with them is that they are great at first but they don't last very long. I've gotten a year out of cleaned/lubricated original paddles playing Kaboom! almost every day.

[Atarian7]

I was going to recommend Pitfall II for adventure but you already have that. Also you have Kaboom! which is a great game but I don't know what genre you'd call it.

 

Also I would get a direct connect adaptor instead of that switch box. You can find it in the Atariage store for $3.
