  Once upon a midnight dreary, Ethan Dicks had spoken
clearly:

 Every once in a while, I still go to video-game
auctions.  It is possible to
pick up full-sized games for under $100 if you don't want the hottest games.
PacMac, Galaga and other classics are still available, but for big bucks.  
 Where? I'd like to pick up a video game (over 10 years old -- something
 like "Time Pilot" or somesuch, so this *is* on topic... ;-), but where I
 live nothing like that is available. 
As I said, in my area, there is a company that has a rolling road show
that auctions off games and ordinary people and companies alike can buy
and sell.  I no longer have the contact info for the auction company
since I haven't been to an auction in long enought that they have dropped
me from the mailing list.

...
  Also, is there a web (or other) reference as to what
games used which
 processors? I think several games used the Moto6809, and if I had my
 druthers, I'd get a game based on that processor, as it's my favo[u]ite. 
I would think that some of the arcade emulation sites would have that
info as it pertains directly to what you can emulate.  I don't have
any sort of list, but I can say that Gorf and Wizard 0f Wor use the Z-80
and many Atari games use the 6502.
