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.

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.
