Taito‘s 1981 arcade game, Qix, was ported to the Atari 5200 and published by Atari, Inc. in 1983. It was written by Eric Manghise and is a pretty good version of the box-drawing action/puzzle game.

Breakout, Atari 2600
Brad Stewart‘s 1978 Atari 2600 conversion of the pioneering 1976 arcade game, Breakout, is a software-based cartridge version that most people who’ve played the game will be familiar with. Mainly because – as far as I know – the original arcade version of Breakout is currently un-emulatable, because it utilizes mechanical components that prevent it from being played as a ROM file in something like MAME.
