Antbear is a port of the arcade game Anteater to the Atari 2600. Mattel developed the game after acquiring the rights to Anteater and the game was finished, but Mattel chose not to release it. The game was finally released by Atari in 2024 in DLC for Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, but it was renamed Antbear, likely due to licensing reasons.

Mattel’s MO was to make, slightly inferior perhaps, ports of their Intellivision games and release them on the 2600 to entice people over to the Intellivision. Most of the games Mattel ported were simple shooters that didn’t require much use of the Intellivision’s keypad controller space battle which was renamed space attack on the 2600 is the major exception. Space battle used eleven of the twelve keypad buttons and somehow that all had to be condensed into a single button controller.
Atari 2600 Port of "Jawbreaker".
Because of technical limitations, Atari 2600 Jawbreaker is not a Pac-Man clone and is different than the Atari 8-bit game. A rough sketch of the 2600 game was used as the basis for new computer versions from programmers other than Harris. The new game was, confusingly, sold as both Jawbreaker and Jawbreaker II and was not as successful as the original.
