As a young Turbographiste, I was pretty into Klax (I don't think Tetris or Columns were available on the system) but I had no idea it was ported to the Atari 2600!

The source for this was in a print item I don't have access to, but Klax was supposedly the first title to be on the "three leading platforms" of the time (NES, Genesis, TG-16). It was a real rarity in terms of how widely it was ported, to anything that could play it, and clearly without much bias for whether it was too "old" or not.

Yeah and for a game that really didn't have a huge cultural footprint or anything?
