Cartridge only?

[Mr Robot]

Is there any Atari software that’s is cartridge only? Never been converted to xex and never had an atr? 
 

Space Harrier and Jim Slide XL spring to mind but is that it?

There are literally hundreds of titles, but a lot have been converted to .XEX files for convenience although ROM images are available

and with an EPROM programmer you can program Eprom's and make your own Cart's, I've done 2 myself, Montezuma's Revenge and

Pastfinder.

 

Check here for most cartridge titles:-

What I'm looking for are the ones that haven't been converted to XEX. I have an Atari machine without a cartridge slot and I want to know what I won't be able to load on it.

1088XEL? 1400XL bare board? Cartridge slot(s) filled with Play Doh and/or crazy glue? A Ben Heck creation and/or other Frankenputer? Pics, please.

SpartaDOS X, Diamond GOS. Two examples of software which capitalise on the unique properties of banked cartridges and which can't simply be ripped to an XEX. Altirra Extended BASIC requires an AtariMax cart.
