Classic Atari Cartridges for the 400/800/XL/XE computer, v. 1.6
 
I am trying to compile a list of all cartridges released for the Atari
8-bit computers.  I am organizing the list by catalog number as listed on the
outside of the cartridge, when available, and by manufacturer.  A release date
column is included as well.
 
The release dates are not intended to be very accurate at this point.  They
are intended only to give an idea of when the cart was released (i.e 1982
release versus 1986 release).  They are almost always the copyright date
on the cartridge.  In fact, I might as well call it that, since there is
little else to go on usually.
 
The list is filling up quite nicely thanks to many contributors.  A number
of Atari cartridges, especially newer ones, are still undocumented, but I
hope to fill in the gaps shortly.
 
The following questions have come up while working on this list.
* Is the Rev. C BASIC cartridge distinguishable from the Rev. A, i.e
  is their a different catalog number for it, and what is that number?
* Was their ever a Superman cartridge for the Atari 8bits?  I have found
  a couple of old mail order ads listing it, but I suspect it might be
  vaporware.  The same goes for Star Trux.
* Is there a cartridge CXL4001?  (i.e., before BASIC)
 
I'd would like help completing this list.  If you know of any other
cartridges issued for the Atari computers, and/or know the catalog
numbers or release dates of some of the unknown ones, please send me
an email message with details so I can update the list.  Thanks.
