Those are old sites, doesn't look like much action on them.
Good news though. I bought an Retron 77 atari unit. It plays all the 2600 cartridges. I bought it with 80 used game cartriges at a game store. All the major games I wanted to work did. I now have the Atari Berzerk, not the arcade though. I also have Donkey Kong, Defender, Missile Command, Pack Man, Ms Pack Man, Frogger, and a couple of others out of that 80 I didn't know of, but space alien type shooting games, that I do like. And while the manufacture game console came with a modern joystick, the store gave me a classic real joystick from the 1980s, and that is far more durable. I am really a happy camper right now. The console with the 80 games was $325 plus tax.
Sounds like you should have fun with that! I am not a gamer but spent some time with Duck Hunt and Tetris when my son was young...that's more my speed. He now has a setup with multiple monitors and headsets and his game room looks like some sort of bad guy control room out of a movie.
Enjoy!
