US Games was a video game division of then-conglomerate Quaker Oats that formed in 1982 to develop games for the Atari 2600. Sometimes cited—because of the Quaker Oats connection—as an extreme example of companies trying to get into the video game business,[1][2] US Games released 14 games (with varying cartridge designs) and then closed their doors after only a year in operation.[3]
A TV commercial for one of their games, Space Jockey, aired in the United States.[4]
"None of our games became a hit," said spokesman Ronald Bottrell. "Instead of pouring in a lot more capital, we decided to drop it."[5]
