¢ATARI 8-BIT TRIVIA¢by Stuart Murray, NOSAUG.¢¢¢The Missing Cartridges¢¢ Atari's final cartridge releases for the XE games system were never shipped. This was due to Atari's departure from the 8-bit computer market.¢¢ The games were mainly titles converted from the 7800 VCS. Four titles are known to have been produced. Here are the names and code numbers:¢¢¢- Tower Toppler (RX8111)¢¢- Xenophobe (RX8118)¢¢- Super Football (RX8120)¢¢- Midi-Maze (RX8124)¢¢¢ If only Atari had stuck with the 8-bit for a little while longer, we might have seen a whole range of 7800 conversions such as Xevious, Pole Position II, Hat Trick, Cracked, etc.¢¢ During a telephone conversation earlier this year with Brad at Best Electronics in the USA, I was told that Atari had approximately 50 proto-type copies of each game. However, after approaching Atari, Best Electronics were informed that the games would not be shipped. This is a shame, but hopefully we'll eventually see these games some time in the future!¢
