Hey guys!  So the Atari 7800 Halloween Game video came out on Thursday and I think it turned out very well!  Doesn't seem to be a run away hit, but I think it conveys what I was hoping it would.  Even if it isn't as grand as I envisioned lol.  Check it out below!
 
Also, this Sunday I have a review going up for Haunted House (2023) on the Atari VCS, and its the first video branded with the Atari Network intro.  The next video will have a disclaimer over the intro and I hope that will keep Atari from making me change the name back, but we'll find out!
With that said, we had to miss the podcast last night because I had some family obligations to take care of.  So you can catch me and Vinnie on the Atari 7800 Forever Podcast tonight, October 21st at 7:30 PM Eastern Standard Time!  We'll be talking about new Atari stuff including the Gamestation Pro, newly released VCS games, EXO and more!  Check it out down below, even if you missed it live you can watch it on replay!  I hope you all tune in and enjoy it.  Remember, audience participation in the chat is always welcome but not required!
 
Next Thursday I'll have my video on the gamestation entitled My Arcade Atari Gamestation Pro Overview and Thoughts!  It goes over what you get in the box, what games are included on the console, how they play, what I think of the hardware, and how you can expand it along with limitations to the expansion!  Be sure to check it out if your on the fence about the Atari Gamestation Pro!
Then the sunday after that we have the final halloween review, which will be the winner of the poll from my channels community tab.  So far it looks like Midnight Mutants will be getting the review, which will be the 3rd video I've done on that game since I started the channel!  Good thing its a good game lol
Be sure to check out all that and more on The Atari Network!  Eat.  Sleep.  Atari!

You got my personal favourite of it's time in there! 🤩

I saw this literally minutes ago and had to laugh it was so obvious. While it may not exactly be an Intellivision I think it is pretty clear someone in the prop department must be an Intellivision fan 😆It goes by quick but it was obvious enough I went thought "Hold up a sec, is that?......" so I paused and took a screen grab. ODDLY it's supposed to be a movie playing device which makes the controllers very questionable 🤔 🤨🤷‍♂️
Now to be clear, it's a new movie trailer for a movie on Peacock and after watching the trailer it was enough for me personally to say "Er, I think I'll pass" BUT I thought it might not be noticed by many and if anything this might be the best thing about it so I thought I would share it. Now, you can watch the trailer and see for yourself (about 1 min in) I have also attached a screen grab for convenience. Maybe this could have been Intellivision in the future or perhaps an alternate reality version, I think what I would really like to see is a modder with much greater skills than I turn a normal basic Intellivision into a copy of this one (perhaps using one that is already blemished or defective as to not alter a good one) but anyway I just found it amusing.
Trailer (pause about 1 min in)
 
The money shot:

Feel free of course to add your own Intellivision consoles or variations or obvious tributes to the console as seen in Movies or TV shows. I personally cannot recall any others off the top of my head, has an INTV II ever appeared in any? Would love to see that. Of course the the classic Atari 2600 has been spotted in TONS of films and TV shows, heck even the Colecovision is seen in the movie Firestarter with Drew Barrymore but I don't think the good old Intellivision got much representation? Maybe I am wrong, let's see what you got!
 
 

This is my last batch of retro adverts...

You're welcome!  I think it's much better to have them that way.  You can upload to your favorite book reader too and even have the page swiping effect as you read it.  😉

I saw this posted in Instagram and I thought I'd share it here.  I even combined the files into a PDF, which I'm attaching here...

This is my last batch of retro adverts...

Dam it, I'm going to miss out on adding to my Atari collection as none of the stores are readable. 🙂

Some additional ads...

Figured I'd post this other picture that's not in the album.  It's a new game that is being released for the Vectrex...
 

Oh, I didn't know it wasn't real.  Sorry about that.  Here are some more.  I think these are all safe...
