Sky King counts as a western, right?

Golly, seeing all these titles makes me wanna go out and get cable.

Oh, and lest we forget: there was more than one episode on Star Trek that happened in the West, so I guess that counts too. LOLOL

Anybody remember the Chuck Wagon Dog Food Commercial where the little Covered Wagon is speeding through the house, goes past the Dog who begings chasing the Wagon and goes into the TV which then shows the moist, delicious Dog Food?

10. Chase the Chuck Wagon (Atari 2600)

Chase the Chuck Wagon: A real dog of a game.

The Atari 2600 is perhaps the most popular system among collectors. Collectors are often in their twenties or early thirties, and the good old Video Computer System holds a lot of fond memories for people in that age bracket. Hundreds of games were released for the console over its incredibly long lifetime, so it's not surprising that a few highly collectible and rare Atari 2600 cartridges exist.

Chase the Chuck Wagon is perhaps the most famous example of a rare and unusual 2600 game. Back in the early 1980s, TV commercials for Ralston Purina's Chuckwagon dog food featured a tiny covered wagon emerging from an open bag of dog food in a kitchen, then racing across the floor. Maybe TV viewers were easier to impress back then, but this was accepted as high comedy and the commercial became famous. To capitalize on its notoriety, Purina contracted with Spectravision to produce a special Atari 2600 game starring the beloved mini-chuck wagon.

This game was only available through mail order, and apparently, not many people bothered to send away for it. The unsold copies were destroyed, making the cartridge difficult -- but not impossible -- to find today. It is neither the rarest nor the most enjoyable Atari 2600 game (actually, it's pretty lame), but its bizarre history and subject matter (a game about dog food?) have made it a highly sought after title. In fact, "Chasing the Chuck Wagon" has become a synonym for hunting for rare games in thrift stores, pawn shops and other such locations.
