The unreleased 8 in 1 Atari 2600 cartridge is a multicart only in PAL release format containg 8 Atari 2600 games, hence the name: Asteroids, Centipede, Battlezone, SwordQuest EarthWorld, SwordQuest FireWorld, RealSports Soccer, RealSports Tennis, and Yars' Revenge.

Asteriods:
The arcade port of the same name on the Atari 2600. While controlling a spaceship, shoot at and avoid asteroids and UFOs in outer space.

Centipede:
The arcade port of the same name on the Atari 2600. Controlling as an archer, shoot at a centipede which divides into more centipede parts and spiders while also avoiding them. However, this ROM has a defective copy of Centipede, which could be a reason why the multicart was unreleased.

Battlezone:
The arcade port of the same name on the Atari 2600. Controlling as a tank, shoot at other tanks before they shoot you in the battlefield.

SwordQuest EarthWorld:
The first installment in the cancelled SwordQuest line of games for the 2600. The SwordQuest line of games also each had a contest where one can win real prizes made of gold. But the contest was cancelled upon the release of WaterWorld (not related to the Kevin Coster movie) as Atari was having financial problems and the video game crash around the release of the SwordQuest games. For some reason, Atari was planning and decided to rerelease the first two SwordQuest games on this multicart, although the contest was over years ago when this multicart was created.

SwordQuest FireWorld:
The second installment in the cancelled SwordQuest line of games for the 2600.

RealSports Soccer:
A decent soccer game for the 2600.

RealSports Tennis:
Also, a decent tennis game for the 2600 with the ability to enter your initials before the game began, up to 8 characters.

Yars' Revenge:
The classic Atari 2600 game where you play in a battle using your trusty Yars' shots and cannons. Also, another defective copy along with Centipede in this multicart.
