Atari 2600 games had many different label variations. Probably the most common, were the Atari CX cartridges. Those are the black carts that say “game program”.
The first of Atari’s nine launch titles in 1977 was Combat, which had the code CX-2601. Several years later, Atari started rereleasing these games with new picture labels.
Below is a list of all the CX game carts. The reason for this list is so that I can figure out what I still need to get. I am trying to get a complete collection of 2600 CX carts.
Orange = Own both the picture label and non picture label
Green = Own only the text cart
Blue = Own only the picture cart
Grey = Do not own either
