Atari 7800 Game Controls List

As a result of a recent post here, I finally went ahead and flushed out a controller guide that I had laid dormant for a while. It is pasted below along with a zipped spreadsheet attachment for any who are interested:

Side note...The button function columns serve as a general overview guide. For a few games, the features and purposes are not exhaustively listed due to the size constraints and practicality of keeping the data as an easy reference in a lookup cell within the same row-page.

 

Please feel free to add updates, corrections, etc., to this thread.

FYI, Asteroids can be played with a 2600 joystick. If a 2600 joystick is detected it remaps Hyperspace to down.

 

Also, Sentinel is missing it's setting in the list. Lightgun required.

Thanks for the list! I just got a 2600+ and want to make do with the one button 2600 controller. I was hoping one-on-one basketball would still mostly work with one button? The second button is for timeouts. Anyone know? I, at the very least, would get one 2 button controller when it comes out.

AFAIK, yes.  The developer, at the very least when designing the game, only utilized a one button controller, and purposely designed the game play in support of that configuration.
