- US Games
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-popularAtari 2600 . Sometimes related to theVideo 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." [ [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,952210,00.html] - TIME magazine, Oct. 17, 1983 issue]
