List of Atari 2600 games

All 38 of the initial era of Atari 2600 games (between the console's launch in 1977 and the summer of 1980) were developed and manufactured by Atari, Inc. These games were published by Atari, and many were also licensed to Sears, which released these games under its Tele-Games brand, often with different titles. Official aftermarket releases In the 2020s, Atari released the Atari 2600+, an emulation-based mini console, and began producing game cartridges which were compatible with that system as well as original 2600 hardware. Multi-game cartridges Atari released one official multicart for the Atari 2600 in the 1980s, in PAL regions only. They have also released several multicarts starting in the 2020s, primarily consisting of reissued games, though the RealSports Collection cartridge includes one new release, RealSports Basketball. == Games published by third parties ==

As the Atari 2600 console grew in popularity, in 1980 other game developers, such as Activision and Imagic, entered the market and published more than 380 of their own cartridges for the Atari 2600. Many of the best-selling Atari 2600 games, such as Pitfall! and Demon Attack, are third-party games. Xonox double-sided cartridges Xonox released many of their games as "2-in-1" cartridges, with one game on each side. All such games were also available individually. Non-game cartridges ==Homebrew games==

The Atari 2600 has been a popular platform for homebrew projects, with games publicly released. Unlike later systems, the Atari 2600 does not require a modchip to run cartridges. Many games are clones of existing games written as programming challenges, often borrowing the name of the original. In 2003, Activision selected several games for inclusion in the Game Boy Advance version of their Activision Anthology, as indicated below. == Additional titles ==
