My girlfriend got me an astrocade at a garage sale, which she said had no games with it. when she got it home i saw it had the original basic cart, interface, and this sampler/demo tape.
Games on the sampler are:
side A - 1. electric doily
2. Line Graph
3. Monthly Records
4. Electronic Music(cutting edge for 1978!!)
5. Number Match

Side B - 1.Lunar Lander
2. Gravity Game
3. Newtona '500'

This tape is # APC-7001

the instruction book with the basic cart advertises this sampler in the back, but i found no mention of it in the DP guide. anyone else have one or know rarity of it? Cool find or not so much?

The cassette came with the interface. Here's a pic from the ballyalley website (all the info you could ever want to know about Astrocade can be found there):
