This is a list of games that use the enhanced graphics and sound capabilities of the PCjr and earlier Tandy line of computers.

Although not marketed as such, the original Tandy 1000 was basically a clone of the failed PCjr, and thus inherited its enhanced graphics and sound capabilities:

• EGA-like low-resolution graphics (320×200 with all 16 CGA colours)
• Enhanced "Tandy 3 Voice" / "PCjr 3 Voice" sound (in reality, this meant up to 5 voices as there was an extra noise channel too, and the PC speaker routed to the same output was sometimes utilised as an additional voice)
• Later Tandy models added digital sound capabilities via a mono 8-bit DAC (this is rarely used by games)

PCjr and Tandy machines are mostly compatible with the IBM PC, so games that can be run on them but don't use their enhanced graphics or sound capabilities are not to be included in this list (e.g. games that only use CGA graphics these machines are backwards-compatible with, and the PC speaker for audio).

Legend:

• 🟢 – Has support for enhanced Tandy/PCjr graphics or sound
• 🟠 – Has Tandy/PCjr exclusive graphics which is different from, but inferior to the EGA version
• E – Also has EGA support
• A – Also has support for Adlib or other sound cards
• D – Tandy DAC support (supports the Tandy DAC but not the Sound Blaster for digital audio)
