A few more vintage Atari 7800 print ads

[DracIsBack]

Found a few more vintage Atari 7800 print ads. No luck finding the two page "Pick a Fight After School" ad that featured Ikari Warriors, Double Dragon, Rampage and Xenophobe.

 

Any others that people have?

I'll have to go through my stack of vintage UK gaming mags and see what's in there at some point.

Thanks for sharing those. I remember one but never saw the others.

Just curious as to whether atai inc. ever did any ad's promoting it's 'computer keyboard' for the 7800 (even though it wasn't released....as well as promoting the 7800's expansion capabilities (as featured on the original warner's 7800)

Funny that....'Winners don't do drugs'....that's coming from the pot smoking company

Heh, it's a "Do as I say, not as I DO" type of thing.

Here's the two-page "Pick a fight after school" - it appeared on the 2-3 spread of GamePro in November 1989.

I only bought 2 issues of GamePro and this was one of them. It got me so excited for those games. Unfortunately the only one that I could ever find in Massachusetts was Rampage.

Here in Germany we have never seen any Atari 7800 ad - but the system was officially released around 1989 by Atari Germany.

Thanks for sharing everyone! Great times! Too bad Atari didn't put the same effort in getting SkyFox on the Atari XE Game System and then getting it released for both system instead of leaving it as vaporware. Same thing for some of those rumored titles from Accolade.

Something that has bothered me about these two print ads ever since I saw them in early 1990, is that they're missing the corporate info on the bottom (c 1990 Atari Corporation, etc...) 

 

What's up with that?
