Early Atari documentation list
Submitted by Gregg Woodcock (woodcock@bnr.ca)
Here is a pretty complete list of documentation for Atari's early arcade video games. Note that "TM" stands for "Technical Manual" and "DP" stands for "Drawing Package [supplement]" which was later renamed to "SP" which stands for "Supplement Package". I am not sure what "CO" stands for but the "C" could be for "Correction" because most of the CO documents were errata or addendums to the manuals. In addition, most Atari games had "ST" documents which w

Schieve: "Taito.pin will match most for power, ground, monitor, and speaker connections but inputs are usually quite different." DECO/Data East is the Data East pinout.

Army Battlezone (Atari, 1980/1981)
Submitted by Unknown
"Army Battlezone remains a mystery, even to those of us who worked on it." Editor's Notes: I recently had the privilege of discussing Atari history with a member of Atari's development team. This individual worked at Atari for a period of several years, including the "Golden Age", and was a major contributor on many of the classics we've come to know know and love. A note of thanks to him, not just for the information on these pages, but for hours of fun in the arcades.
