Data Age Record?

[Cassidy Nolen]

I was reading Electronic Games magazine last night and found an ad for Data Age. The ad says you got a free record with a "recording experience" if you asked for it at any Data Age dealer. It was free. I suppose that shares with us the level of quality.

 

Does anybody have one of these? Apparently there is a documented connection between this and the software company (unlike a certain "Music Machine" record I can think of..... ).

 

Thoughts/berating welcome. I am always amazed as long as I have been into the 2600 there is still stuff I don't know about.

I have nothing to ad, except to say I love stuff like this.

Leave it to Rom to take the mystery out of it

Why does Yars' Revenge Record Back look like Missile Command? I guess they didn't want to put a real Yar shot because it would be hard to read the words they put on top of it. (Maybe?)

The Data Age record is weird! I thought I was on Acid just from hearing it.

I bought one a few years ago, possibly from CPU, but have not seen it since like 3 moves ago.

Could be.

 

I wondered about this myself too.

There was also a Music Machine record that features some of the same characters as the video game box. Though I heard the record has nothing to do with the video game. Not sure why they would draw the same characters. Anyway, if Rom wants photos, he can let me know. I own the record.

The record was produced by a religious publisher, and the game was a tie-in for that.

I had the Data Age record as a kid. I have no idea where it is now. I think I sold it off about 10 years ago.

Thanks for the link to the mp3 though! That'll bring back some memories for sure!

 

Here's another link to the mp3 along with a good picture of the "record".

Anyway to get scans of those? I'd like to see it. Hell, I'd like to own them.
