Chronological order of release of Atari 2600 carts?

[Mirage]

Does anyone know where there may be a listing of release dates of all Atari-branded 2600 carts? I started to do this by CX number, but then realized that those are not in release order. I even found a forum posting from 2002 that verifies this. I've searched the forums and can't find anything. Basically, I just want a list, starting with Combat, showing the order of release.

 

Thanks!

That's going to be rough.

I figured it wouldn't be easy. But was hoping someone had already done it. Maybe the best I can hope for is to put them by year, then best-guess the actual release date. Before I do that, I'll wait and see if someone has already been as obsessive-compulsive as I am.

Random Terrain has some dates on his site:

Cool, that's a good start, thanks!

I plan to add more images, YouTube clips and stuff like that, so be sure to revisit those pages in a month or two.

I was wondering the same thing...was hoping there was an option on the AtariAge list, but I could never find it.

 

I wouldn't mind just having the release years without the month/day.

I don't really expect (or care about) exact day of release. Though, if someone had that list, that'd be cool too. Just year at minimum, but spring/summer/fall/winter would be nice.

Yeah, about the best we're ever going to get for most games is year and month. Good enough for me, but it's still hard to get the month.

I'd like to see that list if you were ever able to put it together.

That can add a whole new level to collecting, "New,Unopened, CIB, original dated receipt"!
