I really can't make out the loose carts in your picture but from what I can see you didn't find anything really rare. It is though a nice start for someone who doesn't already have an Atari.

Is it worth $100? I suppose that depends on how much you play it. The way I look at it you got a classic console and 40 games for the same price as 2 new modern games. You may have got it for a bit less on ebay but then you'd have to pay shipping on top of it.

Since it's Canadian dollars, you got a nice deal! If it was USD, it would be a fair price to pay. ^^

Yeah, I have sold similar bundles on eBay for 90-120 USD... so for 100 CND I dare say you did very well.

what's that huge black thing next to the system?

Nice find...I don't think you over paid if you really enjoy it. I've always wanted one of those how to win at pac-man books. Is it interesting?
