US Games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

US Games was a video game division of Quaker Oats (a food company) that formed in 1982 in order to develop games for the then-popular Atari 2600. Sometimes related to the Video game crash of 1983, they released 14 games (with varying cartridge designs) and then closed their doors after only a year in operation.

"None of our games became a hit," says Spokesman Ronald Bottrell. "Instead of pouring in a lot more capital, we decided to drop it."[1]
