Damon Jackson, 46, of St. Louis, was charged with felony stealing and burglary, according to a press release from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
Jackson is accused of stealing $71,000 worth of rare video games. The stolen games include "Air Raid," which was valued at just under $4,000. "Air Raid" was released in 1982 for the Atari 2600 and published by a company called Men-A-Vision, the only game released by the company.
Police said Jackson also stole $17,000 in silver, $10,000 in cash and a handgun, which were all inside a safe.

The 'Netflix of gaming' is coming, and game makers are worried - Business Insider
Not only are more games being made, but there are more ways to play those games for less money than ever.
These services are great for gamers, who have more options to play great games. And — in the short term — these services are great for game makers, who reap the financial benefits of massive companies like Microsoft, Sony, and Apple splashing out for games.
Look no further than the film and TV business for examples of just how lucrative those deals can be — "Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes got a $150 million deal from Netflix to produce content for the streaming giant.
Video game accessibility aided by consultants who say it's not about compromising game design -
It was the latest salvo in a debate that has taken on a culture war-level valence among players online, a debate that has been litigated and re-litigated to no apparent end. Fans of the series, angered by the article, argued that not all games are meant for disabled players. Futzing with difficulty settings, they said, tampers with the creative intent of a game, especially in genres where a game's key selling point may be its difficulty (as is the case with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice).
Video Games Are a To-Do List You Play
Among the pastimes I've acquired over the past few years, the most long-lasting has been video games I play on my Nintendo Switch, and I think I've finally figured out why. No matter the game's subject matter, style, or story, my favorites all have one central element that feels deeply familiar: a never-ending stream of busywork and chores.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild is about running errands. Skyrim is about running errands. The Witcher is really about running errands . There are larger narratives and goals to each, and a fair amount of fighting, but between the battles and the pieces of origin story (which I personally don't care about), there is a sweet, steady supply of tasks I must complete. Video games are a to-do list you play.

She'd actually talk to "Betsy" asking her to do this or that. She did the same thing when her right leg she dubbed "Peggy" that she injured working in the shipyards during World War II was giving her problems. That said, I don't think I ever heard her ask "Betsy" to call someone or to tune the radio to a certain channel.
It's been a little over two years since I bought my 2017 Ford Focus. Technology had changed a bit since I bought my previous vehicle, a 2008 Ford Escape hybrid. I really wasn't looking for a Bluetooth enabled vehicle that apparently can completely synch with my Apple i-Phone 8. It happened to be on the Focus I wanted that was at the right interest rate which was zero.
