The Atari VCS with CX40 joystick

The Atari 2600 is a home video game console released in September 1977. Sears licensed the console and many games from Atari, Inc., selling them under different names. Three cartridges were Sears exclusives.

The list is divided into three sections:

  1. Games published by Atari and Sears
  2. Games published by third parties
  3. Hobbyist-developed games after the system was discontinued.

In total, {{#expr:Template:Table row counter+Template:Table row counter}} games were released during the system's lifetime. The console was released with nine cartridges: Air-Sea Battle, Basic Math, Blackjack, Combat, Indy 500, Star Ship, Street Racer, Surround and Video Olympics. The final licensed Atari 2600 games released in North America were Ikari Warriors, MotoRodeo, Sentinel, and Xenophobe in early 1991,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and the final licensed games released in Europe were Klax and Acid Drop in 1990 and 1992 respectively. Since 2023, Atari has released games designed for the system via the Atari 2600+.

Games published by Atari and Sears

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.<ref name="searscartridge" /> Sears's Tele-Games brand was unrelated to the company Telegames, which also produced cartridges for the Atari 2600 (mostly re-issues of M Network games.)<ref name="TelegamesCatalog" />

Three games were also produced by Atari Inc. for Sears as exclusive releases under the Tele-Games brand: Steeplechase, Stellar Track, and Submarine Commander.<ref name="searscartridge">Template:Cite web</ref>

Stay Frosty by Darrell Spice Jr.

The Atari 2600 has been a popular platform for homebrew projects, with Template:Table row counter 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,Template:Sfn 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.<ref name="ActivisionAnthology" />
