The Action Network consists of an interesting and eclectic collection of games. The earliest entries, Armor Battle and Space Battle, followed by Sea Battle, formed a solid, if pedestrian, foundation. The most interesting aspect is that Mattel, at least early on, was not afraid to require two players for their non-sports titles. After suffering some attacks because of this, their approach changed, as reflected in most of the other titles.

Cartridge Count 14/14 (15/15)

Note: The 15/15 count includes the Action Network versions of Space Battle and Space Armada.
Note: Space Battle is counted as an Action Network title, since it was originally widely released as such.
