RickR Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 I've never seen this one. Not any screen shots or indications of the actual game are shown! Is it real? If so, it must have come out before the game was completed. jmjustin6, greenween, Atari Creep and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 It is possible that the commercial was an early draft and never officially aired. If it did air then I never seen it. Then again having only three channels we rarely seen anything Atari on TV other than the games we were playing. Atari was really never advertised in my area when I was a kid. OK...maybe I should say younger because I'm still a kid at heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Creep Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 I don't remember that one either. Cool. Quote Don't just watch TV, PLAY IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dauber Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 My theory was that the reason they didn't have any actual gameplay on camera was that Atari didn't want to show it, for obvious reasons. But there were other commercials that did show the gameplay. Quote Supernatural, perhaps...baloney, perhaps not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it out, no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
