Here are a few more retro ads that I have saved...








 

This arrived over the weekend...

I was aware of the "Iris" version as I've seen pictures of it before but I have never seen one anywhere.  It looks cool in all-black.

Got the news about this earlier today.  Really cool! 

By the way, I forgot to say that these will show up on YouTube (on the Paramount Plus channel) or you can watch the on the official Star Trek page (startrek.com).

These are just cool...

I believe I have.  I believe that character showed as a mascot suit in another movie I was watching once.  Kawaee!
 
 
As for Bentley Bear, ok for the longest I pushed for Bubsy as the mascot, at least for the Atari Jaguar.
I think Bentley Bear IS the unspoken mascot for Atari.  At least over time he has gotten a lot of screen time and fairly well represented over the various Atari platforms.
Check this out, I was actually quite amazed!
Atari 2600 - Crystal Castles
Atari (5200?), 400/800, XL, XE - Crystal Castles

Other appearances:

And I like how Bentley Bear is the main show character for Atari Mania cover art.  (Haven't had a chance to look at the actual game or whatever it is)

Three appearances in 50th Anniversary with the arcade Crystal Castles, 2600 Crystal Castles, and Atari Karts.
Bentley Bear apparently made an appearance in Wreck-It-Ralph.  Not a great likeness, but the basics are there...

So yeh, I think Bentley Bear is already the unspoken mascot for Atari.  And you know what, I'm ok with that.  He's kinda cute, and I like how there is still a lot to know about the character. 
 

For anyone interested...

You know, Atari (the current Atari) still have a chance to do this!  They need to choose a mascot and run with it! 

Yep, that makes sense.  Then Atari missed on the opportunity to really make the Pac their mascot.  One of many missed opportunities.

Wow, people actually think Pac-Man was Atari's mascot?  Interesting considering the arcade game was not theirs.  It would have been interesting had Atari gotten al rights and made it their mascot.  Bentley Bear could have used in more games.  Cyrstal Quest is a homebrew title that shows that more could have been done with the character.  He does show up in Atari Karts too but can you imagine if he had been used to theme pinball games, puzzle games, and other types of games?

My daily driver is my 7800. It was modified by...wait...for...it...CrossBow.🙂 It runs Space Rocks just fine.

I always remember seeing this one. 😛

I would be willing to let them use Jinny. 😛 I think she'd make a good mascot. 😄
