Back to main list of All our 2600 Games
The Atari 2600 was first released in North America in September 1977 and featured 9 launch titles: Air-Sea Battle, Basic Math, Blackjack, Combat, Indy 500, Star Ship, Street Racer, Surround and Video Olympics. The final licensed Atari 2600 game released in North America was Secret Quest in 1989, and the final licensed game released in Europe was Klax and Acid Drop in 1990 and 1992. Even with their 1980s limited colors and block graphics these games are still entertaining to play today! We have over 500 Atari 2600 games for you to play online for free using our Atari 2600 Javascript Emulator.

How To Play! It's pretty simple in concept, but tricky in practice. Move the blocks on the large board so they match the pattern on the small board. Problem is, you can only jump to an adjacent block. The long-term aim is to achieve the highest score possible. Don't forget to complete the screen quickly to get those bonus points! Instructions Match the pattern on the small grid, by shifting the 'cubes' on the big grid. Use the fire button to throw away anything about to hit you. You can only use the fire button when you have score to 'spend'. The more you use it, the more score it costs. There is a limited time to complete the pattern. When time gets low, the border of the small grid flashes - you have about 10 seconds after that. If you complete the screen before that, you get bonus points depending on how much time is remaining. If the time runs out, the pattern on the small grid changes and you're back to square 1. When the time runs out, you can no longer score points on that screen. Jump on the fruit for bonus points, and sometimes... depending on some secret pattern ... an extra life. Jump on the hatching eggs to kill them.
REQUIRMENTS:
Our Atari 2600 emulator utilizes Javascript to run in your browser. No plugin is required, but a fast modern web browser will enhance the game play.
Emulation on mobile devices will drain your battery quite fast. I recommend playing while device is plugged into charger.
