3-D Zapper
Unreleased game programmed by Todd Marshall. Within existing internal documents the given title is "3-D Zapper," though the prototype cartridge itself has an end label that reads merely "3-D Demo," while the PCB within features a sticker reading "3D Space" and a date of December 13, 1982. Internal documents describe the game briefly as follows: "This game contains the elements of a typical shoot-em-up spree game. The unique elements of this game are: (1) that the invaders perform erratic randomized dances in a three-dimensional field. (2) The 3-D operation of the gun. (3) The invaders themselves are particularly tailored to provide an exciting 3-D effect on the ATARI VCS."3D Genesis

They say the meek shall inherit the Earth, but how long can you defend it? This was originally planned to be 1 of 3 "3-D" games on Power-Play Arcade cart #1.

Space Invaders
1980
Space Invaders is a game in which the player controls a laser cannon by moving it horizontally across the bottom of the screen and firing at descending aliens. The aim is to defeat five rows of eleven aliens—some versions feature different numbers—that move horizontally back and forth across the screen as they advance towards the bottom of the screen. The player defeats an alien, and earns points, by shooting it with the laser cannon. As more aliens are defeated, the aliens' movement and the game's music both speed up.Track & Field
