What an ingenious way to have advertised 2600 games

Recommended Posts

As most of you know, Xonox was owned by K-Tel, which were the good folks that brought you the Veg-O-Matic, the Miracle Brush and compilation albums.  Here's a record sleeve from one of those albums, featuring a Xonox ad.  Pretty cool.

The 2 K-Tel games had ads here in Canada. Maybe even in a comic book or TV Guide? K-Tel sold more here in NTSC format than anywhere else that I'm aware of. That is why Condor Attack and Spider Maze are easier to find in Canada VS the USA. The term "easier" being relative as they are still very rare.

Wow, so cool. K-Tel was huge, my parents always purchased the albums.

Those compilation albums were actually pretty good.  Growing up, I had a Heavy Metal one from K-Tel.  Although I always found it funny that they put "Dancing in the Street" by Van Halen on there.  Not exactly heavy metal.

Shawn, thanks for the interesting info.  Good to know.
