Activision TV Games — Classic Atari 2600 Titles in Plug-and-Play Form

The Activision TV Games collection was a plug-and-play device containing Activision’s celebrated Atari 2600 game catalogue — titles including Pitfall!, River Raid, Kaboom!, and Pressure Cooker. Activision was founded in 1979 by former Atari programmers who left to form the first independent video game publisher, creating some of the finest Atari 2600 games ever made. These developers — including David Crane (Pitfall!), Larry Kaplan, Alan Miller, and Bob Whitehead — established the principle that game designers deserved recognition and royalties, fundamentally changing the games industry’s relationship with its creative talent.
