I tried to reply by mail but got bounced by the friendly daemon.  Here goes:

I am not online here very often.  Many other things going on, and the
engineering group seems to be offering good support here these days.

Carts that are 800-compatible are Battlezone, Star Raiders II, Bug Hunt, 
Blue Max, Archon.

Ones that will NOT work are Lode Runner, Flight Simulator II, and Midnight
Magic.

The above information covers the first release of carts only.  I will see if
we can get you an update on more recent releases.

Also, we list the system requirements on the cart's box.  If it lists the
800, it is compatible.  If the 800 is NOT listed, it is NOT compatible.
