Explain please: "TV Stich"??? Unit comes with built-in game console wire to 
tv (RF? switch box) (my RF boxes are close to trash, worn and sloppy contacts 
on the tv-console switches) (only have one thats really reliable and I need 
to keep that for future testings) Radio shack still sells them I believe.
Also has working powerpack and two joysticks with number pads. the main unit 
works good but looks a bit worn. The wide silver plate across the middle is 
scratched etc. No apparent chips in the casing. The 4 games are:
Atari 5200: Star Raiders / Pac-Man / Ms. Pac-Man /Missile Command.

Explain please: I have 4-5 joysticks, but they all look alike to me. Is there 
a difference between the Colico and Atari that I should look for???
Let me know and I'll throw it into the Aquarius box if I got what you need.
Also have: (1 set) Indy 500 game program in its original orange box. Includes 
the two Driving controllers and the boxed cartridge which states "14 video 
games" are on the cartridge all racing.car type and has the manual. This is 
an all original boxed set and the controllers don't look like they even been 
used.
(1) Wico Command Control joystick in its original box. Still has the original 
Kaybee price sticker on $23.99 on it. grin.  Looks and feels quite new.  Box 
says it works with 9 diff. systems. Atari consoles, ATARI 400 & 800 home 
computer, Commodore vic-20 (hmmm, maybe I should hang onto it for my Vic20).
Adapters sold seperately for the following units: texas Instr. home computer,
Apple Computer, Radio Shack TRS80 color monitor and the Odyssey Home Video 
game.

Sigh, those two above games, load okay, but just run way to fast on my p100. 
On Space Age, I couldn't even get behind the first rock at the beginning.  
Just don't have the brain to hand reaction time which is why I don't try 
deathmatching with things like Doom2. But send anyways,  maybe I can find 
cheats or resell them. Then again, maybe I'll did up a slow 386 someday, 
grin...

Would prefer $30.00 for the 5200. They are a lot scarcer than 2600's at least 
in this region. Or some more modern IBM game. I'll be posting a new list of 
Wanted games in the next week or so, then you will have a newer idea.
Actually, unless the offer is attractive, kinda like to keep the 5200.  Only 
one I ever come across...and I used to do a LOT of yard sale/flea market 
hopping in my richer days. hehehe...
Anyways, inform me about the joystick, and then I'll pack this pile up and 
get it out to you. Girlfriends complaining about no room to sit down in my 
computer room...sigh...
