> Hi! I'm looking a list of Atari 2600 games that includes the designer name > for each title. I have this small list, from James Hague's "The Giant List of Classic Game Programmers".... that list includes programmers from others systems (atari 800, c64, etc...). The List is very big, but this is the list whit 2600 programmers.... I know this is not what you are looking for, Piero, but is something. I also have a list with all games Atari 2600, by SERIAL NUMBERS... Well, games written are listed chronologically in the following format: Title, co-authors (year of release, publisher) Games may be preceded by the following special codes: * Four-star game, using a rather conservative TV Guide style rating system (a judgement call, I realize; I may stop doing this). [P] Programmer only. Used for games ported from other formats or when a game was designed by someone else--implies a lack of creative control. [D] Designer only. [B] Game written in BASIC. Might be interesting, as there is usually a quality gap between BASIC games and those written in other languages. [G] Group effort; the person mentioned had some sort of involvement. [L] Leader of a group effort; implies more than management. [T] Type-in program from a magazine. [N] Non-game software. [U] Unreleased product.
