Hi. Most of the units cary about 5, but there are a couple that have 10, and there is a super Atari version that has like 20 or 30 on it. Believe it or not folks the tv Atari games around here sold out like hot cakes for Christmas. The main reason is the games were fun, simple, and are less gory and violent then they are today. Allot of the kids in the 80's grew up with Atari, and now they have a chance to give the same games to their kids, and obviously they are still selling. Point is long live the arcade games, and side-scrollers as well. Grin.
