My great and moving find of the day ! - Atari 7800 - AtariAge Forums

So, right now I am on holiday at my parents' home. When I am there, I sleep in my teenage room, nearly in the same state that when I left 12 years ago.
I was kinda bored tonight so I decided to look at some of the old stuff from my childhood and teenage years. Looking at the top of shelves, I discovered... two loose dust-covered 7800 carts ! There is Double Dragon (one that I've been looking for on ebay since months !!!) and on the other one the label is torn away, but I'm pretty sure it's Commando.
I am so happy right now because I was sure that these carts (the two 7800 games that I bought myself 20 years ago) were lost for years or maybe had been sold in some garage sales. I was so surprised to find them !

Now some back story to explain you why I am so happy to have found these two carts :

Driven by nostalgia, I started collecting Atari 7800 stuff some months ago.
Back in the early 1990's, the Atari 7800 was my first console. Well actually it belonged to my elder brother, but I played on it. I remember my brother asking my parents for a console at Christmas 1991. I think he wanted the Nes with Super Mario Bros, but he ended up with the Atari 7800 and Mario Bros (my parents didn't know anything about video game consoles and couldn't make the difference between the two, and as the Atari 7800 was cheaper, they bought it instead of the Nes). Then we got also other games to play on our Atari. I can clearly remember the games we had :
- Pole Position II : it was the only game my father (who isn't interested in video gaming at??all) played, along with Asteroids (built in the console).
- Donkey Kong Junior.
- Ikari Wariors.
- Planet Smashers.
- F 14 Tomcat.
- some sport game (I think it was maybe California Games??or Summer Games).
and also Double Dragon and Commando that I bought myself. I remember that often the games for the Atari weren't exposed in the stores and that I had to ask to the clerk to show me the few Atari 7800 games they had in stock. I remember too that I couldn't decide between Commando and F 18 Hornet. Finally I chose Commando.
A few years later, my brother sold his Atari and all the games (except the two that I bought myself) to our neighbour and it was the end of our story with the Atari 7800. Then we had a Master System, then a Megadrive, a Nintendo 64, etc...
Since some months, I've purchased dozens of 7800 games (CIB), but I must say that these two carts are my greatest find ! I didn't except to find them after so many years, and for some reasons, I thought they had probably also been sold.
They are all what is left of our original Atari collection.
I am in a hurry to come back home to try them on my 7800. I hope they still work.
