Ok, I'm really dating myself here and probably some of you never heard of this system, but it was one of the early personal computers on the market for a cheap price - back in - uh, 1983! Only 64k memory and 8 bit motorola processor. I still have a ton of games left for this system and frankly they were and still are pretty good.
Someone ported over most of the cartridges to floppy disk - yep, 5 1/4-inchers too, which include Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug, Defender, Robotron, Pole Position, Ms Pacman etc. One of the early vector graphics games called Steller 7 was great and one of the most addictive games was Jump Man. I still have many other games for it too and most still work after 20 years! Not bad !! ... a few of games became corrupt on the floppies.
I still have this old system and get it out now and then to play. The biggest problem is the joy sticks are worn out and finding new ones is nigh impossible.
