16 in 1 by J.F., label variations and items for sale. Each variation of the label should be listed below.
Many games were produced by more then one company, and we provide a cross reference list below. If the game is for the same system, we only consider it a cross reference if the program code between the two games is identical. Some pirate game manufacturers would alter the code slightly, maybe just to insert their logo (like Robby Game) but some manufacturers would alter the program code slightly as well, to change object appearances or gameplay.
If it for a different system (Atari 5200 vs Atari 2600) then we just provide a link to the game for the other system. If you want to purchase a particular label variation, you can do it using the green links below. We stock items which range in condition from poor to mint. We also have scanned (300 dpi) instruction manuals on this page, which you can view online or print out. 160 in 1 and 128 in 1 multi carts rare? - Atari 2600 - AtariAge Forums. Hi A lot of the games you name of 2K, are 32 in 1 from Activision, is the reason why in the 160 to 1 (The pilot) has two roms, one with 128 games and one with 32 (in 1).

In 1981 a young Howard Scott Warshaw, left his first programming job at HP for a more interesting job at Atari.
His first assignment was to create an Atari 2600 conversion of the vector coin op game Star Castle. In this game, you pilot a ship around the screen trying to defeat the Star Castle by shooting the Energy Cannon, but first you must blow holes its rotating shields while avoiding the ever pursuing Space Mines and beware, the Energy Cannon will blast back through openings in the shields!

" System History As Pong's popularity started to decline (coupled with the introduction of the Fairchild Channel F, the first system to have programmable "ROM" cartridges), Atari realized that the market for home videogame consoles that could only play one game was fading fast. So, in 1976, Atari frantically started working on project "Stella," a new cartridge-based home videogame system. In October 1977, the VCS was released with a retail price of $200. 2600online.com - Play Classic Atari 2600 Games! Atari 2600. 10 of The Rarest Atari 2600 Games.

Atari 2600. 概要[編集] 発売当初は、前年にフェアチャイルド社から発売された世界初のロムカセット式ゲーム機Video Entertainment System（後のチャンネルF）との競合もあり、その売り上げは芳しくなく、アタリとAtari 2600の生みの親であるブッシュネルが解任されるなどの事態にも至った。
だがプログラム仕様を公開してサードパーティーによるゲームソフトの開発・販売を可能としたことによって、家庭用ゲーム機独自の市場を形成するに至り、当時としてはグラフィックやサウンド機能に優れたVCSは市場をほぼ独占。 日本でブームとなった『スペースインベーダー』の移植版を1980年に発売して大ヒットとなった。 日本ではエポック社から1979年に「カセットTVゲーム」の名称で輸入販売された。 当時の販売価格57,300円。 仕様[編集] CPUにモステクノロジー社の6502のコスト削減バージョンである6507、入出力制御にメモリ兼用の6532 RIOT（RAM,Input,Output,Timerの略）を採用。 コントローラは、反射型ゲームで用いられたパドルコントローラやジョイスティックなど数種類が用意され、接続にD-sub 9ピン状の台形のコネクタが使用された。 厳密に「規格」として定められていた訳ではないが、コントローラーについては「アタリ規格準拠」を謳われている機種間で流用が可能で、日本ではMSXやセガのSC-3000で方向キー＋2ボタンのコントローラに採用された。 汎用入出力ポートとしては、ボタン数を増やしたコントローラやアナログコントローラ、マウスやタッチパネル等の入力機器等の接続に用いられたが、それら各機種各様の機器もアタリ規格準拠とは呼ばない（マウスはMSX用の物が他機種でそのまま使えたが、あくまでもMSX仕様に沿っているだけで、マウスの接続に関するアタリの規格がある訳ではない）。
コントローラデバイスの複雑化などにより32ビットゲーム機では採用されず、パソコンでもUSB接続が主流になるとレトロゲーム以外では需要がなくなり、次第にその姿を消した。 バリエーション[編集] TVボーイ. Atari 2600 History. The Atari 2600, originally called the Atari VCS, is the godfather of modern videogame systems, and helped spawn a multi-billion dollar industry.
Atari sold over thirty million of the consoles, and together with other companies sold hundreds of millions of games. Cartridges for the system were produced across three decades, and there are still new games being produced today. But it almost didn't happen.

Atari 2600. The Atari 2600 is a video game console released in September 1977 by Atari, Inc.
It is credited with popularizing the use of microprocessor-based hardware and ROM cartridges containing game code, a format first used with the Fairchild Channel F game console. This format contrasts with the older model of having non-microprocessor dedicated hardware, which could only play the few games which are physically built in to the unit. History[edit] Atari Inc. had purchased an engineering think tank in 1973 called Cyan Engineering to research next-generation video game systems, and had been working on a prototype known as "Stella" (named after one of the engineers' bicycles) for some time. Unlike prior generations of machines that used custom logic to play a small number of games, its core was a complete CPU, the famous MOS Technology 6502 in a cost-reduced version, known as the 6507.
Programs for small computers were generally stored on cassette tape, disk or paper tape. Launch and success[edit]
