Raiders of the Lost Carts features the Atari Games that never were. Great titles from Golden Girls to Twin Peaks, to games about Yuppies and Napoleon Dynamite. Raiders was first placed up on the original incarnation of Atari 7800.com in November of 2000 to rave reviews, however the page and related files were accidently lost during a transition that involved the domain changing hands and an overhaul of the entire site. Fortunately I was able to save this page from the scrap heap when I moved my webpage to be hosted here at Atari 7800.com.

The following are cartridges made just for fun. Most none of these ever actually existed and likely never will. But don't let that stop you from using your imagination. Some are humorous, some are serious, and some might actually make some great games! I hope you enjoy. - Joe

This cartridge label design is based off of the hit cult classic "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" which ran on the FOX Network from 1990 through 1993. Those who remember the show are familiar with the quirky nature of the show which was not-so-loosely based on the film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and featured several incredibly imaginitiave and surreal elements such as fantasy scenes, strange camera angles and the lack of a laugh track. The show felt much like a live-action cartoon. Although "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" only lasted three seasons on FOX, it broke new ground in Television and made way for future creative hits such as Ally McBeal and Arrested Development. It should also be noted that this particular television show featured an extensive list of Atari products that were shown on screen. Visit "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" on imdb.com

Yuppie is actually one of the few cartridges on this page that was actually a real project at one point. We began work in 2002 on a simple game for the Atari 2600 that was loosely based on the life of a Yuppie. There were to be seven mazes, one per day, per screen. But be careful not to spill your coffee! You would have to maneuver the Yuppie to certain points within the maze before the clock ran out, deeming you to be "late to work" etc. One location might be "Starbucks" and the next may be the Dry Cleaners. You could collect bonuses along the way. Unfortunately the game was never completed and the programmer is no longer with us. Any parties interested in continuing work on the Yuppie project are invited to contact us.

Join Chris Rock in this delightfully funny video game that brings the spirit of PC Engine's "Kato & Ken" to the Atari 7800. Based on the comedy stylings of legendary comedian Chris Rock, this game is all about silly things that white people do that are different from blacks. Fun for the whole family!

Not a lot is known about this particular 2600 game other than being based off of the 1980 hit from The Buggles, although it does somehow seem quite fitting.

This is a nearly-complete graphic produced for a limited run of 100 cartridges that were produced by Atari 7800.com to commemorate the site's Fifth Anniversary and celebrate Atari History.

The future is now in the palm of your hands. Now you're playing with power! Chocolate power! You can visit the Ray Nagin and the Chocolate City page here.

With the advent of the Atari 7800 ProSystem Keyboard just over the horizon, the need for new software and applications will soon arise. With this cartridge, you can access the AtariAge Forums directly through your 7800!

This game is based off of the short-lived revolutionary television show Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks was a dramatic television series set in the fictional town of Twin Peaks in northeast Washington State. It aired on from April 8, 1990 until June 10, 1991. Twin Peaks' central plot line tells the story of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper and his investigation into the shocking murder of a popular young local schoolgirl, Laura Palmer. The program portrays small-town America via a tight-knit community of unsophisticates and eccentrics. The story begins with the famous discovery of Laura's body, washed up on the lakeshore, "wrapped in plastic." As the investigation unfolds, it gradually exposes each Twin Peaks resident to unwelcome scrutiny from Agent Cooper and the men of the local Sheriff's Department and reveals a disturbing dark side to the lives of many of the Twin Peaks citizens. The first season contained only eight episodes and was considered technically and artistically revolutionary for television at the time, working hard as it did to reach the standards set by film. This critically-acclaimed program was beyond revolutionary by 1990 standards and paved the way for such programs as The X-Files and Desperate Housewives. Visit "Twin Peaks" on imdb.com

Your primary goal is to get through the five-day school week, surviving your quirky family life so that you may also survive your History test on Friday. In level three Dr. Huxtable forces Theo to return a $95 Gordon Gartrelle designer shirt. Loopy Denise swears she can swe one just like it for a fraction of the price, and, ofcourse, the result is hilariously disastrous.

Pass your test with an A+ on Friday morning and you get to go out to enjoy a nice Pepperoni Pizza with Cockroach and the gang before having a blast all weekend long.
