SpaceDice2010 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 About 40 sec in. Some of the Atari commercials were amazing and ahead of their time in my opinion. Lloyd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Yeah, never saw that one either. What was up with the "artists rendition" of the gameplay though? With the Invaders closer together. I want to play *that* game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakasama Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Well, now somebody can make that version of Space Invaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Well, now somebody can make that version of Space Invaders. Apparently not. No workarounds yet for the hardware limitations I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss 2600 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I like the Centipede one. I want that tune for my mp3 player I devoted to '80s music and commercials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiu Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) .. Hey, the announcer on that Space Invaders commercial is Danny Dark, probably best-known as the voice of Superman on Superfriends! Edited March 2, 2014 by Raiu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Phruby Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Was the Beepers a real band or just made up for the movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzillajoe Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Was the Beepers a real band or just made up for the movie? The Beepers were an American music band consisting of Anthony Marinelli, Arthur B. Rubinstein, Brian Banks and Cynthia Morrow. Their single Video Fever was used in the soundtrack for the 1983 film WarGames. Brian Banks and Anthony Marinelli were already known for work together for performances as a synthesizer duo, such as a live performance of Tchaikovsky's Overture to Romeo and Juliet and other works as an opener for a 1980 concert of the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.[1] Banks and Marinelli continue to work together on film music compositions, and with many backing band album credits: Pulse (Greg Phillinganes album) Young Guns (film) soundtrack Nice Girls Don't Explode soundtrack Baby Be Mine (Michael Jackson song) Brother Where You Bound Behind the Mask (song) Internal Affairs (film) Unity (Afrika Bambaataa and James Brown song) Thriller (Michael Jackson album) Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari2600Lives Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) I am sure most of you know this but the first kid in the Pitfall commercial is Jack Black. Also at around the 2:18 mark, that is Jane Krakowski (of 30 rock fame) in the Solar Fox commercial. good post.
