    ...I'm not sure about Galaga, though. Unless I'm missing something.

    I thought I saw one on Ebay a few months back, but I'm probably wrong.

    speaking as the owner of the full set i'll tell ya how it is.

    donkey kong
    ms. pac man
    pac man
    frogger
    galaxian (the rarest)
    zaxxon (bigger shell dbl screen effect)

    and donkey kong jr sort of.... this is clearly a nintendo game and watch tabletop in the same mold as popeye, mario's cement factory and snoopy but it does say coleco on the stickers. i suspect this occured due to some lingering contract coleco and nintendo had over the US rights to DK since different art version appear overseas.

    you could also count coleco alien attack which is too big to be a handheld but not quite a tabletop, and then theres all the sports stuff. i saw some mock up ads for a coleco tabletop berzerk online, i bet that would have rocked. for the non-coleco mini arcade games check out the entex line, awesome stargate and quite a few others. theres also parker bros. q*bert, wonder how they lost out on the frogger license there but not on the VCS?

    while its up for discussion i always thought handhelds and such deserved their own section in the guide or on the site, they are part and parcel of the classic gaming experience.
