USA games were sold both loose and in packets like the one shown to the right. Tomy Pocket Games have also been sold in the UK after the Pocketeer era. 'Golf Game' is the only Tomy Pocket Game for which there is no evidence of any US release (but this was released after the Pocketeer era in the UK and probably in other places as well).
In compiling this list I had to take some decisions and define some terms. If a game appears under more than one name but it's appearance doesn't change at all, then it's not counted as a different game. Otherwise things get a bit out of hand. For instance, many of the early game are referred to with and without the prefix 'Pocket'. On the other hand, we have been strict with fairly minor cosmetic differences - the borderline cases where this strictness has been applied are:
- When Pinball was renamed to Lucky Ball this is counted as different because the new name was inscribed on the game.
- 2 different colours of Dragon Trap
- 2 different colours of Tic Tac Score
