Great Hierophant Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Okay, so how many unique games were released in North America for the 2600 from 1977-1990? No hacks, pirates, homebrews, reproductions, prototypes, label variations, PAL releases, multi-carts, or renamed games (Defender II/Stargate count once for example.) Only released games are applicable, however small the release if the game was available to the general public (Pepsi Invaders is out.) I once tried to make a list and came up with approximately 600 unique games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I guess that depends what you consider "official." There were a few prototypes that were actually released to the general public in small quantities like Off Your Rocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I think it's in the low 500s. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 If you count the games the Digital Press Guide counts it is 518. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Around 500 sounds good, 600 is definitely way too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Some of those would definately be questionable. I mean, Mythicon games are all hacks of the same game, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolenta Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 So far, the forthcoming edition of ABC To The VCS has 629 individual titles listed in the index. Granted, many of them are Sears titles but that should still bring the total number well over 575. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you post me the your list we might be able to sort out some non-unique titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
