Air Raid (1982)

Men-A-Vision's Air Raid came in a baby-blue T-handle cartridge unlike anything else on the Atari 2600, its label showing flying saucers attacking a futuristic city. That odd shape is also the first test for fakes: an Air Raid cart in the standard shape is a reproduction. Copies kept turning up, yet the first one with cartridge, box and manual all together only came up for auction in 2012. Even the name rests on thin evidence, since the cartridge label itself does not say Air Raid. Few legends start with so little paperwork.
