I recenlty acquired a collection of Atari 2600 games on Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). I could use some help identifying what these are, and or where they possibly came from.

There is a story attached. I purchased them from the orignal owner. He told me a relative of his had access to Atari 2600 games before they were released. These are the actual games he received in advance of the game's official release.

The collection includes games from several companies including Activision, Apollo, Atari, Coleco, Imagic, Parker Bros., Spectravision and Telesys. All games are released titles.

Here are two pictures showing the front and back of the River Raid PCB with two socket EPROM chips. There is no identifying information on the PCB.

Here are some thoughts.
The owner I purchased them from was legitimate and very unlikely to fabricate a story.

The 16K games, like River Raid, are coded onto two 8K EPROMS not a single 16K chip. Whoever made these must have access to the development environment as a dumped producton River Raid cartridge would produce a single 16K binary file which would then require a single 16K EPROM chip.

The components appear to have been hand soldered to the PCB.

I've not dumped the games and no way to do so. All games seem to be final versions through my limited game play/testing.

This is our auction of 72 double-ender Playaround Atari 2600 video games each complete in the box. These games were new in shrinkwrapped box when we got them many years ago. Due to the high failure rate, we decided to open and test each game cartridge. These 72 have one end of the game cartridge inop. Still, they are rare, especially so clean and complete with all documents, keys, padlocks etc.

Very low starting bid on this unreserved auction.
