Lost Luggage is an action video game developed and released in 1982 for the Atari 2600 by the Texas-based studio Games by Apollo. The player controls skycap porters working at an airport and tries to collect pieces of luggage that fall from a frantic overhead luggage carousel. A two-player mode, in which the second player controls the direction the luggage falls, is included. Programmer Ed Salvo was inspired to begin making Lost Luggage when he was waiting for his luggage at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, and the game took around four weeks to make. A four-minute advertising jingle was recorded for the game, but never used. Most reviewers criticized the game's similarity to the Activision game Kaboom!, believing Lost Luggage to be an inferior clone, but a reviewer for the magazine TV Gamer recommended the game for children, and Videogaming Illustrated described the game as the most charming of Apollo's releases. Soon after Lost Luggage's release, Apollo filed for bankruptcy and closed.
