Company: Atari Part Number: CO21880 Rev. A Year: 1983 Titles: 20
This catalog is a departure from previous
Atari 5200 catalogs in that it's presented as a small, fold-out poster, a trend
that would continue in later years for Atari catalogs. It features 20 titles,
including Realsports Basketball, which was never released (although the prototype
is available here).
This catalog features all the Realsports titles, though they don't yet bear
the Realsports name (amusingly, three of the titles use the word REAL in all
caps as part of the description, hinting at what was to come). An artist's rendering
of the VCS Cartridge Adapter is shown, as well as a 5200 Trak-Ball controller
that differs slightly from the one shown in the previous catalogs (the action
and "Start", "Pause", "Reset" buttons were moved
and reflect the actual shipping Trak-Ball controller). The phrase, "Atari
5200 SuperSystem" also appears for the first time in this catalog.Click Here To View Catalog |
