The Atari XEGS is a third generation video game console developed and manufactured by Atari Corporation released in North America in late 1987.[1] Based on the Atari 8-bit family, the XEGS is a repackaged Atari 65XE. Compatible with the existing range of Atari 8-bit computer software and peripherals, it functions as a home computer.[2][3][4]
This list contains games released during the XEGS's lifetime, all of which use "Atari XE Video Game Cartridge" packaging.[2][5] Many games are rereleases of earlier diskette-based Atari 8-bit computer games converted to cartridge form. All of these work with other Atari 8-bit computer models.
