ATARI 8 Bit SOFTWARE / FIRMWARE

(400 / 800 / 600XL / 800XL / 1200XL / 65XE / 130XE / XE Game Machine Atari 8 Bit Products only) (C) = Cartridge  (D) = Disk (Cass. Tape) = Cassette tape(s)

All Software printed Manuals / Books are in English, All Atari 8 bit Computer Cartridges / Software are NTSC / US versions unless noted.

To aid your Atari Software selection process, Best Electronics has taken the extra helpful step of writing a short description of each Atari Software / Firmware Title in stock and has also done extensive research testing on the Atari software titles we have in stock.   With each new generation Atari 8 bit computer developed over the 15+ year product life span, Atari would continually Upgrade their 8 bit Computer internal Operating systems, so you will find that some of the Atari and third party Atari Software titles, will only run on certain Model Atari 8 bit computer(s) or have certain Minimum Computer memory requirements to run properly and are noted in the software description.

Most Games require a Joystick(s) unless noted.

All Titles are New in the box, unless noted.   Most of the Atari titles we have in stock, came right out of the local Atari Sunnyvale Warehouses.  Many were in the Atari Warehouse Stacked on Pallets of Master Boxed software/games and some were just Loose software titles plied on pallets stacked on top of pallets.  These Atari software Titles were in the Atari Warehouses for 8 to 17+ years, moved around many times (and between the 7 to 10 different Atari warehouses around the World) and reboxed into master cartons over and over every inventory they took.  A Few Atari (not all) Software boxes may have a Minor dent, Scuff mark or crease in the outside of the New boxes after 20+ years of total handling.

In the middle of this Atari pallet, we found a large box marked "Atari Pop Carts without Atari labels".  Back then Best was in such a rush loading up pallets from the Atari Warehouses, unloading pallets and storing pallets of Atari goods in our many many Atari warehouses at that time.  Since the Atari Carts did not have any labels, this large box of of POP box of carts, was just stored away on another Atari pallet and lost (misplaced) in one our Atari warehouses.  Best finally put this Atari POP cart into an Atari 8 bit computer discovered it was the original 400 / 800 Store demo carts.  One of the guys in our Atari warehouses remembered what Atari POP word stands for "Point Of PurchaseBest found one of the boxed Atari In-Store demo carts in the pallets of Atari Museum items we have stored away and scanned the label.  Since most Atari 8 bit Computer owners / users have never seen this Atari 8 bit demo display, it is good display / demo for Vintage Computer shows, School beginning Computer Class Demo's, Retro Computer shows and Computer Museums to show off the properties of the New 8 bit Atari computers back then.

Atari Warehouse Information Fun Fact.   Over the last 10 - 12+ years Atari was in business, Best Electronics almost had free run of all of Sunnyvale warehouses as we were bidding on and purchasing pallets of goods from Atari.  This was just opposite of the early days (1980 - 2000's), where an Atari outsider (non Atari Employee) like the many many World wide Atari Supplies and Atari local vendors had to be signed in and escorted by an Atari Manager or level above Atari Employee around many many Atari buildings located in Sunnyvale California, 5 to 8+ US Atari Warehouses and the many Euro Atari warehouses.  A rough guess by Best, Atari had close to 80 to 90+ Buildings / Offices / Warehouses in Silicon Valley at the height of Atari.

During the early Atari warehouses years, Atari Warehouse people were always have problems with pallets (5 by 5 foot, 6 by 6 square) of Atari goods (Master boxes of Atari goods stacked up 6 foot to 8 foot high) always falling over when the pallets of Atari goods were moved around the different Atari warehouses by fork lifts and loaded into thousands of Simi Trucks.  Now imagine 2 to 3 shifts per day at Atari, 5 to 10+ fork lifts moving goods around each warehouse and accidently dumping or knocking over a pallet of Atari goods.  It could take 15 minutes to an hour plus just to restack a pallet (could be as little of 10 boxes of Atari goods to thousands of individual Atari goods on that pallet) back onto the pallet again.  That does not count the amount of Brand New Atari products that were damaged and had to be scraped out.  One of the cleaver Atari warehouse guys discovered if they used (a square shaped strip around the top edge of the boxes on a pallet of Atari goods) of 1/2 inch wide reinforced tape (the clear tape with the nylon long strands embedded in the tape, which is just about impossible to tare apart by hand, this tape had to be always cut with a sharp knife) around the top edges of the boxes of any pallet of Atari goods, this would prevent the pallets of good from falling down while they were moved around the different Atari warehouse.  Best saw pallets of Atari goods with reinforced tape around the top boxes get hit / bumped by another Atari fork lift lean over at a 10 to 20+ degree angle and never lose a signal Atari box of goods off that pallet.  This reinforced strapped down pallets of Atari goods (stacked 2 to 4 pallets high on Atari pallet rack right up to the Atari warehouse roofs) from dumping over during the many many Earthquakes that California had during the years Atari was in business.  This time frame was years and years before the current method of hand or machine clear wrapping pallets of goods, used by just about every warehouse in the world now.

Around the early 2000's Atari started to use the hand stretched / hand applied clear pallet wrap on all its pallets of Atari goods.   At the end of Atari, Atari purchased about 3 to 4 complete pallet shrunk wrap machines.   All the Atari warehouse people would have to do, is put a complete pallet of loose Atari goods on a turn table, push a button and the shrunk machine would completely shrunk wrap / spin a pallet of goods from top to bottom of the boxes and it would also shrunk the boxes of goods to the pallet itself.  So when the pallet of Atari goods was removed from the shrunk wrap turn table, the 2 blades of the fork lift would have to punch thru the bottom of the shrunk around the bottom of pallet.  Best has seen Atari pallets of machine wrapped goods on a fork lift lean over (get push by another fork lift, hit by a falling pallet of Atari goods) almost at a 45 degree angle and still stay in intact on the pallet without a single box falling off the pallet.  By the way, Best ended up a new full box of this Atari reinforced tape.  We use it in the same manner that Atari did to tie down the top boxes of pallets of Atari goods we move around in our Best Atari warehouse.

Some of the wild things Best saw in the different Atari warehouses over the years, we could write a book on.

Best Electronics has recently had one of those once in lifetime visits from one of the legends of the early Video Game World.  Carol Shaw recently brought in an Atari 810 Disk Drive for repair.   We got to talking about about her very long career in the Video Game World.  Carol Shaw was one of the few Women of her time to make a name for herself in the all Male dominated Video Game programming field back then.  Carol said programmed Atari 2600 3D Tic Toe Game (one our most favorite 2600 games ever made, it will blow our mind when you play against the 2600 computer and see how you lost), Atari 2600 Video Checkers and the unreleased Atari 2600 Polo game.   She also wrote the code for the Atari 8 bit computer Disk based Atari Calculator Program that used Reverse Polish Notation, that HP used in some of the Scientific Calculators of latter eras.   At Activision Company Carol wrote the code for the Atari 8 bit Computer version of the Classic Video Games ever to this date River Raid Game.   Carol Shaw was one of the very few Programmers of that era, to get the proper Credit for programming Activisions River Raid right on the box.  Her name is shown on the front of every original Atari 8 bit version River Raid sold.  This type of programmer Credit was almost unheard of for that time.
