List of Atari XEGS games
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The Atari XEGS is the final member of the Atari 8-bit family. Marketed primarily as a video game console, it is compatible with other Atari 8-bit computer software and peripherals and functions as a home computer.[1][2][3]
This list contains games released during the XEGS's lifetime, all of which use "Atari XE Video Game Cartridge" packaging.[1][4] Many are earlier diskette-based releases converted to ROM cartridge. Some XEGS cartridges do not work the Atari 400 and 800, because they need 64K RAM or another feature of the XL and XE 8-bit computer models.[5]
