58 or 59 Games for 7800?

[high voltage]

Froggo:   2

Activision:   2

Absoluter Entertainment:   6

Atari:   48

Atari Australia:   1  (32 in 1)

 

Does the 32 in 1 Game Cartridge count?

No, as it's a 2600 cartridge filled with 2600 games, and bundled with the 2600 Jr. in PAL territories.

 

-edit-
 

Looks like that cart was rebadged and snuck into some 7800's BITD though... ha! Still for me, I'd count it as little more than a fast/cheap/easy label variant.

But it has a 7800 label

Yeah, had to double check now that I was thinking of it. Australia only? promo, but shares the same Atari stock number as the 2600 cart. CA400266-163, so still 2600 cart all the way for me, despite 7800 being on the label.
 

Imagine some retailer simply slapped the new label over the old (see evidence of that by the pic above even) for some 7800 promotion BITD. Original green 2600 label has nice rounded die-cut corners as per the norm, while the "7800" 32-in-1 cart label is rectangular ala lazy homebrew type from way back when.

But does it play on a 2600? 7800 Only?

Realize, it's not a unique game, but it is a unique cart.

If so, may not count as a game, but as a cart release in the 7800 library ?

Probably the case for completist collectors.

As you mentioned, they were a PAL region pack-in with the 2600: Ireland and the UK also had them. 

 

And yep, the only difference that I'm aware of is that the label has the number '7800' on it instead of '2600'.  My guess is that it was a near zero-cost (just change the label) way of bundling games with the 7800 in some territories.

The label says 7800 but they are 2600 games, so never counted them as games, but definitely in terms of an OBJECT to have as part of a 7800 collection. File alongside the HiScore cart, monitor cart et al.

Yes to both, thanks. For me 59, 10 less than 5200 library.
