Publisher: Konami

Konami was best known in the early 1980s for its arcade games, and in 1983 it made a brief move into the Atari 2600 market under its own name. It released just three cartridges in North America, two of them versions of its own arcade games, and Gakken sold PAL versions in Europe. All three are here:

Pooyan: Mama Pig shoots the balloons of wolves floating down on her piglets.
Strategy X: drive a tank through enemy defences towards their base while keeping it fuelled.
Marine Wars: a naval battle by day and night, followed by waves of fighter planes.

Many more Konami arcade games reached the 2600 through Parker Brothers, including Frogger, Amidar, Tutankham, Super Cobra and Gyruss, and those are listed on the Parker Brothers page. Choose a game below and play it in your browser.
