I will be very surprised if I see any other Atari cartridges in this challenge. I have about 30 games, and always pick more up whenever I see some at a rummage sale. It's quite a bit of fun to play these old games on the 46" HD TV. :)
Lighting for this was a single flash, ungelled, shot through an umbrella. The flash was well above the scene, at camera right,a and pointed down at about a 60degree angle. This made sure the cartridges were nicely lit while not reflecting any light off the glass.

Good image. The lighting and reflections are great. Love the DOF. Perhaps move Pacman to the front, as the pitfall relection area is prominent in the image but is just blank and boring.
