Help my identify these unknown Atari 800 related objects in old picture

This is the picture:

 

 

Help me identify a couple games on the shelf.  Here is a zoom in... any idea what the two unknown games are?  The orange box might be difficult, but any suggestions?  The other one is definitely Avalon Hill, but what game?:

 

 

Also, can anyone identify what the YELLOW sticker in upper right corner is from?  I think it says GameMaster.  What is that from? (The sticker below it is Elephant Memory Systems that came with their floppy disk box.)

I owned Empire Of The Over-Mind at some point... but that beige box in the picture doesn't seem to match any search I do for that Avalon Hill game.

Could that yellow sticker be Clone Master? I sorta remember that as an Atari disc copier.

I don't think so.  That does not ring a bell with me.

It looks like "Empire of the Overmind" to me... https://www.mobygames.com/game/63667/empire-of-the-over-mind/cover/group-104474/cover-348293/

Sticker I think says "GameMaster" - isn't that a producer of 2600 products?

 

Orange box - looks a little like 2600 Asteroids though isn't it's box usually more reddish?

You are right!  Thanks!

 

I think what threw me off was my Google searches were showing different artwork.  Apparently, there were two different pieces of art used on the cover.

 

The game I owned had this cover:

 

While most searches refer to this cover:

I had that same TV with my 1200XL.  I actually still have it and the picture is fairly good for being 40 years old.  It is a 13" RCA XL100 from 1983 I believe.

A game called "Game Master" does exist. It is a game published by Alkazar Associates probably in the early 80s.

Sadly, I cannot find any picture of the box.
