Polaris only on Atari 2600?

[R.O.T.S]

Title says it all.

Was Polaris ever released on any other Atari system (computer or console) other than the Atari 2600?

[Tempest]

It was also released on the Vic-20, but that's it.

Port for the Nintendo DS if I'm not mistaken

One of the JP only Taito Memories II collections for PS2 has the arcade version of Polaris emulated.

Actually I think I was mistaken after all. I seemed to remember Polaris DS in stores in 2006, but can find no mention of it online. There is the 2600 port that the OP mentioned, and also a mobile phone version.

Edit: Yup, the Polaris for mobile is on the Taito Memories II that Brian C mentioned. I think the wikipedia link may be inconclusive. Ebay and Amazon might also be good points of reference. I'll dig around later when I get home as those two sites are blocked at work.

Taito Memories II is Japanese PlayStation 2, not mobile. I think mobile in the Wikipedia article is referring to JP mobile phones. There is a game named Polaris for iPhone, but it's unrelated. Maybe the game you saw for DS is Polarium (a puzzle game)?

It had an arcade release, rare as hell but I have personally seen one

Fairly sure an Atari 8-bit prototype exists as well.

Perhaps you were thinking about Polarium for the DS.

Yeah, you must have been right.

Really? First I've heard of that.

There's a Polaris pinball game.
