- Ω - Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 1 hour ago, MaximumRD said: $799.00 for that first drive? That the equivalent of $2,252.05 in 1985 dollars. Now days you can buy a whole computer for that! What gets me about the add is that they make it sound like such a good deal.

MaximumRD Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 Back in the day or even in my collection years I have never owned one of these or any of the PONG-type consoles before the Atari 2600. An interesting time, anyone own one back in the day or since? 🤔 RickR and sramirez2008 2 Quote I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.

Scott Stilphen Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 On 9/11/2023 at 11:14 PM, MaximumRD said: I've never seen this one, either. What's the source for it? Some issues with it that make me think it's either not from Atari, or not shown in the U.S., or not real: As was pointed out, the screenshot on the TV is of Pitfall, which would rule it out from coming directly from Atari. Atari never hyphenated Atari Club, and the address shown (1265 Borregas Ave) was Atari's headquarters in Sunnyvale, CA. The ad mentions filling out the form to join the club, but doesn't mentioned the city, state, or zip code. The early Atari Age newsletters mention the Atari Game Club and the club and the newsletter were based in Half Moon Bay, CA. The Atari Age magazine talks about the Atari Club (no hyphen) and was based in Philadelphia, PA. Galaxian was released in March 1983 and was the newest game of all the others mentioned (Asteroids, Vanguard, Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede), so if this ad is real and was published somewhere, it likely would have been sometime in early 1983.

Scott Stilphen Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Here's an ad that was recently posted in the Atari 2600 Facebook group. I've asked where it game from but as of yet nobody has offered a source for it. The text posted over it obviously wasn't originally part of it, but note the different box art for Gravitar!
