These companies are still a mystery for me. Are those all pirated games? Or are there original games too in this lot?

Regarding the Atari 2600 games list in general: It's hard to draw a line for this list. Maybe I should list ONLY PAL games, as this is the main purpose: finding out which games were released as PAL versions. I already did the Atari 5200 and 7800 lists, the Coleco and Intellivision lists – those are not too hard to compile because of the “limited” number of games for those systems, so I made complete lists (NTSC and PAL). I don't think that this makes sense for the 2600, as the number of games is simply too big.

Writing this, I really think that a PAL-only list would be the best solution for this system. Any thoughts?

Well, that's really a tough thing – even with listing "only" unique games. I browsed many Atari 2600 websites at the weekend and found a lot of things I didn't now.

The big problem are the pirate carts. Some games exist in several pirated versions where only a few things were changed from the original, like removed copyright notes or graphical changes in different grades. So I have again the problem in drawing the line. When I really list only unique games, I should probably NOT include those pirates, even if the are not 100 % identical, because they are still no unique games, but "altered". So I'd have to list only the "real" originals, right?

In a later step we could include the pirates too, with notes made to the original games which pirates "belong" to the original game.

Another thing: For example Sancho sold PAL versions of the NTSC games by Panda. Should only the Pande games be included in the list or the Sancho games too? In fact they are the same games, but there are two versions, NTSC and PAL …

Yes, I thought of that too already. Would be not too much work, because in fact I'd have only to remove some companies from the list that is online right now.

Thanks, I am still thinking how I can organize that for the best overview.

Yes, PAL is the main focus on this site.

You are right that there are great databases out there, so no need to make another one. Most important thing is to find out what was released in PAL and what not.
