Over the years, Atari made a lot of arcade games that never came out, and quite a few of them are available for people to play. Some, like Akka Arrh, are even quite famous. There’s many interesting stories about these cancelled titles, and this video’s trying to put them all together, starting with the Atari Inc. era — 1976 to 1984.
