[DaveAtari]

The 2600 makes an appearence on page 40 of this months Mad magazine ( #429 May 2003 )

 

THINGS THAT YOU'LL PROBABLY READ IN THE REVIEW OF THE VIDEO GAME YOUR PARENTS JUST GAVE YOU...

 

" In more advanced stages, the game moves so fast you'll have to limit yourself to only three Bingo cards "

 

"...and by level three, the yodeling may prove too intense for younger gamers."

 

"...awesome parallel parking simulation! "

 

"...basic requirements include a PS2 Network Adapter and a working command of the Dewey Decimal System..."

 

" For her latest mission, Lara Croft dons a traditional burqa..."

 

"...endorsed by Senator Joseph Lieberman! "

 

"...Karaoke Challenge is close-captioned for the hearing impaired..."

 

" Unfortunately, all the cheat codes do is give you a bird's-eye view of Super Mario's ass crack..."

 

" Rated one of the top-ten Gilmore Girls-themed games by Teen People magazine! "

 

" After 20 minutes of play, you'll believe you really ARE one of the Three Tenors! "

 

and my favorite...

 

" The ONLY 'Jared from Subway' game on the market! "

I sent Mad a photo of me and Ralph Baer holding this issue. They never printed it.

Thanks for putting the photo up, Daveatari. I remember the issue with the Pac-Man cover on it too! "Irving Pac, Man of the Year"
