Hey folks, thought this was neat: http://www.wishbookw...hbook/index.htm The video games are at the back. Neat observations: 1. The 2600 features 'self-centering joysticks'. Wow! The 5200's joysticks must already have been legendary. 2. Vectrex only $99. I wonder how they were able to do that while including the screen as well. Wish I had a time machine to go back and buy one. 3. Tons of phoney-baloney screenshots. 4. Didn't know that the Intellivision had a music keyboard peripheral. 5. The ColecoVision Atari adaptor is the same price as the 2600/Gemini...so you don't really save anything. The site doesn't have a catalog for '84, but the '85, '86 and '87 catalogs don't carry any video games at all, just a couple Commodore computers. Video games don't reappear until the '88 catalog: http://www.wishbookw...hbook/index.htm The 7800 and SMS are both represented, but the best pages belong to the NES. Still more phoney-baloney screenshots. Check out the screen shot of NES Black Tiger! And here's another oddity, they post a screen shot of Guantlet, but then say it's not available. Weird, why would they waste space like that? Does anyone know of any more sites with catalog scans? I would be most interested in Consumer's Distributing catalogs of the 1980s and early 90s.
