List of Atari 2600 Games - Games Published By Atari and Sears

Games Published By Atari and Sears

Initially, all (136/565+) Atari 2600 games 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. Sears' Tele-Games brand was unrelated to the company Telegames, which also produced cartridges for the Atari 2600 (mostly re-issues of M Network games.)

Three games were also produced by Atari Inc. for Sears as exclusive releases under the Tele-Games brand: Steeplechase, Stellar Track, and Submarine Commander.

Famous quotes containing the words games and/or published:

    “The rules of drinking games are taken more serious than the rules of war.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “Each class of society has its own requirements; but it may be said that every class teaches the one immediately below it; and if the highest class be ignorant, uneducated, loving display, luxuriousness, and idle, the same spirit will prevail in humbler life.”
    —First published in Girls’ Home Companion (1895)
