Atari 2600 Name 'Em Game

[digitalpress]

Inspired by the work of Cauterize, I've created 40 images using the great old hand-drawn artwork from early Atari 2600 games. You can find these (and use 'em!) in the avatar gallery in your profile under the "2600" dropdown.

So from 1 through 40, from left to right, can you name what game each of these new avatars represents?

That would make the coolest poster ever.

[GamecubeFreek]

I can only name around half of them...maybe.

[it290]

Some of those are very famous. I could probably name most of them, but only because I have several Atari catalogs from that time period...

BTW, no Yars Revenge? That has to be the best Atari cover artwork of all.
