Sega Genesis cartridges. They're in the basement with a v1.0 Sega

I may have some C=64 5.25" around here somewhere, but I doubt it's still

Eureka! I just went into my *old* closet and found a "good" condition
printing of Seven Cities of Gold for the C=64, complete with floppy. I
have no way to test if it's readable.

I'm pretty sure it's the only game I have left from that era.
