Atari 2600 AKA the Atari Video Computer System
On this page we have the games and some information about athe Atari 2600. This is what we know exists, but always are looking for people to contirbute more information. Feel free to drop us any information just contact us .
Released on September 11, 1977, it is credited with popularizing the use of microprocessor-based hardware and games contained on ROM cartridges, a format first used with the Fairchild Channel F in 1976.
This contrasts with the older model of having dedicated hardware that could play only those games that were physically built into the unit. The 2600 was bundled with two joystick controllers, a conjoined pair of paddle controllers, and a game cartridge: initially Combat, and later Pac-Man.
Due to such a large catalog of games we have sorted the games alphabetically this will enable you to more easily navigate the website. When we have all the games listed we will also supply a link to the full list of games.
