doctor_x Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Tim Lapetino's ART OF ATARI Poster Book has the 2600 art in poster form, but not the A8 original. yea I saw that and I may buy that one too.. But the 8bit version is what I'm hunting for... I bought a B rated box from B&C today which I will frame if nothing else.. But a full size poster would be killer..

Roydea6 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 NOT a poster, but a pretty good front cover of manual. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Was there a point of sale Star Raiders poster? We at Maplin had quite a few POS posters but I don't remember one for Star Raiders, the box and game pretty much sold itself, the box as you can see above is a thing of beauty, such wonderful artwork. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnurrikowski Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 While we are at it: who did the artwork of the Star Raiders box? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Tim Lapetino's wonderful book Art of Atari lists the 400/800 Star Raider's artist as McCormack (can't seem to find 1st name), 5200 art by Robert Hunt, and 2600 artwork by Terry Hoff.

doctor_x Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 I may take that high res pic early in this post and see if a graphics shop can do a poster up for me... if they can i will get some made and offer them for only the cost of duplication... crossing fingers.

+Allan Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Atari made about eight of these from eight different games. You can find them on eBay sometimes cheap sometimes not so cheap. I like the Warlords, Asteroids, Haunted House and Centipede ones as well as the Star Raiders. The Super Breakout one is not so hot. There is a battlezone one that is not that great either. If you do search (present and past) on ebay you can most of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
