Games released in 1977

[sku_u]

I was wondering if anyone here could answer these questions for me:

 

Are every one of these definitely a 1977 release? (I know that they were the launch titles).

Are there any games besides these that can be dated back to 1977 for a release date?

 

When did Atari switch from #text to text carts? (Looking for the month).

Yes these are the original nine Atari game cartridges (Sears had the same nine with the different names) that were available from October on for the Christmas season of 1977. No more games were released by Atari or Sears in 1977. I know about Sears because I called the sporting goods dept about every other day (sometimes every day) in fall 1977 to hear about new arrivals.

 

More games like Space Wars and Circus did not appear at Sears until February 1978.
