Telegames has
actually bought the rights to most M Network cartridges
for the Atari 2600, as well as some Sunrise and
Xonox cartridges.
Telegames still manufactures cartridges!! They're expensive
but they may be worth the price. They also carry a lot of other 2600
cartridges, plus games for the Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Intellivision,
Colecovision, Lynx, GameBoy, Game Gear, NES, Genesis, and SNES (and
probably the Jaguar). They also have hardware, like controllers, and
they have the systems themselves (I believe a 7800 costs $50). A catalog
costs $1.
The same Telegames has a source in the UK, where you
can find some of the European games which are so rare in the US. They
accept Visa.
The Best Electronics catalog is a trek in itself. It's actually
fun to read through, at least for geeks like me. It's about $4 US, and
worth every penny. Call them and ask how much it is, and order one!
You won't be sorry. Note that the catalog doesn't list their selection
of games; you must specifically request that.

Best Electronics (no relation to the Best
department store chain) is the ultimate source of Atari items! And they do
have everything. Every part of every Atari item ever made. Need
a new reset button for your 7800? A new PC board for your 5200 joystick?
Need the rubber feet for your 1050 disk drive? They have it. They
also have games, including prototype 2600 games such as Sinistar and
Xevious.
