This is AWESOME! 😁
Hopefully somehow the full source code/ROMs will someday turn up for Gremlins, and if we're lucky Rocket Racer and Hovercraft's source codes will at some point get compiled into working versions. I think ET was also being planned for System 2 hardware but I don't think it got...

My two cents:

5 - Star Wars
6 - Tac Scan
7 - Battle Zone
8 - Space Fury
9 - Star Castle
10 - Space Duel
