List of Atari XEGS games

The Atari XEGS is a third generation video game console developed and manufactured by Atari Corporation and released in North America in late 1987.[1] The final member of the Atari 8-bit family, the primary difference is that the keyboard is an optional accesory on the XEGS. It is compatible with the existing range of Atari 8-bit computer software and peripherals and functions as a home computer.[2][3][4]

This list contains games released during the XEGS's lifetime, all of which use "Atari XE Video Game Cartridge" packaging.[2][5] Many games are rereleases of earlier diskette-based Atari 8-bit computer games converted to cartridge form. All of these work with other Atari 8-bit computer models.
