Facts

  • In 2015 at the California Extreme Classic Arcade Expo, the museum debuted a near-complete cartridge of a canceled Atari 2600 version of Xevious that people could play at the convention.[5] Since the project was abandoned in 1984, this cartridge is the only known surviving version of the game for Atari.[6]
