Atari Alumni

We’ve all heard of the Atari classic Space Invaders, right? Sure, of course, because we’re not a pack of pop-culturally ignorant mother-scratchers. The same can be said about Dig-Dug and Breakout and Asteroids. These are the major titles, the games we all know and love to play.

Then there are the minor titles that only the hard-core geeks like to play, like Yar’s Revenge and Swordquest. If you heard about these, you were (and maybe still are) an Atari Fanatic.

However, the Van Gogh-Goghs have, after decades of research, come up with a third category of games: The Best Atari 2600 Games You Never Heard Of. Through our searches of thrift shops, junk stores, dumpsters and high school time capsules, we’ve found the greatest games you never knew existed.
