Cancelled games

Title	Details
Care Bears Original release dates: Cancelled	Release years by system: Cancelled — Atari 2600
	Care Bears was a cancelled action video game intended for release by Parker Brothers for the Atari 2600. It was scheduled to launch in North America in 1983, and would have been the first Care Bears video game, predating Care-a-lot Jamboree by 20 years. The game involved the player grabbing "tummy icons" from Care Bears as they descended from the top of the screen before arranging them in a certain order before time ran out. Programmer Laura Niklich stated that although development made it to the beta stage, Parker Brother's marketing team decided to halt development as they felt the market for children's video games was diminishing and the existing gameplay looked "too dull".
