Video 61 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 this is a good article from yahoo about movies as atari games in the early 80s from Marcus Errico Deputy Editor, Yahoo Entertainment June 26, 2015: Back in the early '80s, everyone had an Atari 2600 jacked into their TV sets, launching a feeding frenzy among game developers, who looked to Hollywood for source material. They figured a hit movie would equal a hit video game. Boy, were they wrong. But it sure is fun to look back at which games actually worked and which games were 'Porky's.' heres the link: https://www.yahoo.com/movies/when-80s-blockbuster-movies-were-c1435183348830/photo-e-t-the-extra-terrestrial-1982-photo-1435209525438.html VIDEO 61 & ATARI SALESwww.atarisales.com22735 Congo St. NE, Stacy, MN 55079 651-462-2500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
