Atari Corp. game rereleases

[ApolloBoy]

I figured I'd make a thread about this as I haven't found definitive info on these yet. I'd like to know just how many games were released by Atari Corp. between '85 and '87 as I've encountered a few over the years. I used to own an '86 rerelease of Missile Command and now I've stumbled upon a rerelease of Countermeasure. What others are out there?

[BassGuitari]

Gremlins, for one. I believe the Lucasfilm games (Ballblazer, Rescue On Fractalus, etc) were Atari Corp. releases as well.

 

I've got a a Dig Dug and a Vanguard that I believe are Atari Corp. re-releases, but I don't remember.

How do you tell the difference? Label changes?

[Tempest]

The label will be gray instead of silver and it will have a 1986 Atari Corp. copyright on it. Nothing as noticeable as the 2600 releases.

5200 rereleases? I always assumed that they were through with those in '84. They weren't?

Atari Corp. rereleased the 5200 in 1985/86 to get rid of backstock and in the process rereleased some old titles in addition to releasing Ballblazer and Rescue on Fractalus in '86 and Gremlins in '87.

Wow, I didn't even know about this. Thank you for clarifying. Any changes in hardware that you know of?
