RickR Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hey everyone. When we lost power recently, I spent a little time reading some old Atari catalogs for the first time in decades. You know what? They are just as awesome now as they were back in the 80's! But, some of the drawings are pretty preposterous. I'll post a scan from catalogs once in a while -- feel free to add your own humorous captions. I'll get us started with Video Checkers: My caption: "The whole family gloated as Jimmy finally put Grandpa Joe in his place. He'd been kicking their butts at checkers for three generations!"
