I only had two carts. Cosmic Cruncher and Raid on Fort Knox. I can't even remember how or why I got them. They must have been Christmas / birthday presents I guess.

Just one - OMEGA RACE!

Well, I also had the VIC-1111 expander cartridge - does that count?

Forgive me for taking up so much space to explain this. I'm not going to answer the poll because it's complicated, but I spent years without an accessory, device or cart. I found my original handwritten list of games, so I know the precise order. It was something like this:

VIC 20

(years pass)

Gridrunner

(another year passes)

Omega Race
Pacman
(got both on same day for my birthday. Thanks, Dre)

Then I got a six pack of Tape Games with no tape drive! TORTURE! I would never get to play those tapes as they deteriorated over time. I bought the same pack later on eBay (Vic Synthesizer, Treasures of the Bat Cave, Super Seekers, Alpha Draw, Big Bad Wolf, Crawler). The names were tempting, and I would read the instructions over and over trying to imagine the games. No pictures in the manual.

(years pass)

Super Smash
Tooth Invaders

(many many years pass and I would discover a kid selling games near my house)

Adventureland
Pole Position
The Count
Ms Pacman
Jupiter Lander

After that, many years would pass, and I would discover thrifts stores and ebay to build my current collection.

When did you write your first game? I'm curious about that too.

Sorry I'm a touch late to the thread. I had 3 games way back when they were new:

Gorf, Radar Rat Race, Raid on Fort Knox.

I also found that alot of people have the scott adams carts due to the fact that commodore over time sold the entire set with the purchase of a Vic-20.
