King Atari Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I have an issue of Batman from 1989 and it has both the Atari ads and double dragon 1 and 2 as well, no joke Maybe mine is from '89 then. I can't imagine the combo went on for too long... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerhomer Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I saw the first video back in the day and I knew that the 7800 was not for me back in the day. I have one now and it's great for games from 1984 and before. But in 86/87 I wanted modern arcade ports like 1942 and life force from Capcom and Konami, Atari was like, hey let's play joust and centipede again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxdrive Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 It seems more people who were famous later appeared in Atari ads jack black in pit fall ad and in that Atari 7800 test lab commercial I saw Jerry O'Connell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMaddog Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 There were 7800 and XEGS commercials on cable channels like USA Network during the late 80's. Even had the "Fun Is Back" 2600 as well, though I rememeber one time I seen an ad where they compared 2600 games from Before (Asteroids) to Now (Solaris). Atari Corp also had ads in GamePro which was pretty much the only magazine that covered Atari systems equally with the NES & Sega ones.
