I stopped by a yard sale on my way home from school and for a dollar I got

frogger
Omega race
Combat
Spiderman
Star raiders
Q*bert
Asteroids
Pitfall
Video pinball
and.......E.T. The Extra Terrestrial

I also got a Record player for $3.00.

nice finds...i need to go to some yard sales....i hardly go to any...and the ones i go to never have any games

Very cool.
I can't believe you got one of those coveted Combat carts!

But seriously for a buck that is pretty cool.

Omega Race is a sweet game. Unfortunately you need a special controller add-on to play it. The game originally came packaged with a controller that slipped over the Atari joystick that gave you an extra fire button. If you have a Colecovision you can use a controller from that system to play the game.

record player? planning on spinning some vinyl?

I have one vinal record (the broadways), but the record player doesn't have speakers (but the plugs look like they could just be plugged into a TV) and it needs a needle for it.

Those plugs probably go to a receiver, though I suppose you could technically plug it into a TV.....  Never really thought of doing it but I don't see why you couln't.  Vinyl is sweet though.  I am lucky enough that the parents bought a shelf system a few years ago and got the only one Best Buy carried with a turntable.  They of course never use it, but I do all the time.  Their old collections are still around, and there is some great classic rock in there.  Dark Side of the Moon gets played alllllll the time.  Still the best album ever.  I think I'm going to listen to it right now actually....

Great find on those games, especially at that price.  Some of those may be common, but if you didn't have them before, they are well worth getting because they are of course excellent games.  Except not E.T.
