“Motorbike Kids vs. The Hot-Rod Menace” – Street Racer

“It’s Fucking Checkers” – uh…Checkers? (Okay, “Video Checkers”)

“Winchester ’73” – Outlaw

“Tim Curry’s Magic Board” – Othello

After cheating, the Vegas Showgirl is Casino (wasn’t sure if it was a variant cover for Blackjack), and the “Apollo 19” mission is Space Ship, which I’d never heard of up until now. (Not so sure that isn’t the Sears title.) http://www.xocolatl.com/carts/at2600.lst

“I have a Raiders of the Lost Ark that I have no idea how to play.”

Hint: Use both controllers. One joystick moves you, and the other controls advanced things, such as inventory. It was a pretty good game, actually.
