Cover art for Bomber which shows a pink space ship, and tiny little ships, suggesting some kind of space shooter.

Status: Partially Found

The Atari 8-Bit library of computers, like the Atari 2600, had multiple video game companies making video games on them without Atari's involvement. Unlike the Atari 2600 however, the video game crash didn't affect the computers by much as companies kept making games for them with no sign of bankruptcy for some. The computers would keep getting manufactured all the way to 1992, and new games kept getting released on it around the world.

One of those companies was known under the name Aim Software, who is known to have published about 56 games alongside 24 unconfirmed games. Out of all of those games, only 26 of them have been dumped so far(with the only known dump of the cassette version of Ambulance currently not dumped properly[1]), and some of them are only known to have been put on tape, or disk instead of both.[2]
