UPDATE.....

Over three years in production, the model CX2600 Video Computer System is still the largest selling home video game on the market. And not to slip to the number two spot, ATARI continues its support of the unit with four great games released in late '80, and four new ones for the first quarter 1981.

The addition of Asteroids, Warlords, Video Pinball, and Othello bring the total number of cartridges to 42, with more to come later this year.

Asteroids brings the popular arcade game into your home as you protect your ship from onrushing asteroids. Your ship has only four lives and you lose one whenever hit. You can vary the game by regulating asteroid speed, putting up shields, entering hyperspace, or flip your ship around 180 degrees.

Warlords is an action/thinking game where you protect your king, who hides behind his castle, against up to three other players. You must also destroy the opposing kingdoms to win. There is a deadly ball you must capture or deflect, and you can play with double shields.

Video Pinball is an exciting version of arcade pinball where you have one or two flippers, varying ball speeds, and great sound effects. You can also 'nudge' the ball -- too hard though and you'll TILT, losing the ball. For one or two players.

Othello is the game said to be somewhere between chess and checkers. By jumping opponents' pieces, they become yours. When the game 'board' is filled with pieces, the player with more of his colored squares on the screen wins.
