Developer: CBS Electronics

CBS Electronics published Atari 2600 cartridges in the early 1980s, many of them licensed from Bally Midway arcade games. A few of its cartridges used “RAM Plus”, 256 bytes of extra memory on top of the console’s own 128 bytes.
The site has four CBS games from 1983. Solar Fox, programmed by Bob Curtiss, has you collecting solar cells while guards spit fireballs. Blue Print, by Tom DiDomenico, is about searching houses for machine parts. Omega Race, programmed for CBS by Bally Midway, came with the Booster Grip controller add-on. Tunnel Runner, by Dick Balaska with Stuart Ross, is a tense first-person maze and one of the RAM Plus games.
