Publisher: Sancho

Sancho was the brand of Tang’s Electronic Co., a small third-party publisher whose Atari 2600 cartridges date from 1983. Some of its games were also sold in North America by Panda under other names. The site has four Sancho titles. Nightmare is a dreamlike climbing game in which a sleeping child climbs magic ropes to a rescue helicopter, past birds, devil faces and balloons. Words-Attack is a letter-shooting game that only resurfaced in 2002. Collectors rank it as the hardest Sancho cartridge to find, and it may never have been fully finished.
The list also includes Skindiver and Forest. Choose one below and play it in your browser.
