Omega-TI Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 It's time to spruce up the den a little and update the TI-related artwork on the walls. Does anyone have any high quality color scans that will print up nicely on 8.5 X 11 photo paper that will go into frames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) If it can help I scanned and restored in hires lot of the 99'er Magazines that has advertisements and artworks, all in high quality, best i was be able to do. Still finishing to work on the remaining ones but you can already find a lot of good stuff among the magazines pages you can find PDFs at the bottom of the page or the direct link for download the PDF file into the Browse-online window http://www.ti99iuc.it/web/index.php?pageid=database_cerca&archivioid=283 Edited October 2, 2020 by ti99iuc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelpedant Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 More like 8.5 by 14, but here's a very high quality/resolution scan of a pamphlet ad for the MBX: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 ... hmmm, this makes me wonder, if you were to airbrush Bill Cosby out of an advertisement, who would you replace him with? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMike Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I actually thought about this a month ago, wondering, if TI went with a different spokesperson, who would it be.. During those days.. I'd say, Harrison Ford or, back to the future star mad scientist Christopher Lloyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelpedant Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I'm jealous of Commodore getting Shatner. So I'm going to say (in this self-indulgent alternate timeline) we do even better, and get Nimoy. Timely, since 1979 saw Star Trek: The Motion Picture and 1982 saw Wrath of Khan each give the franchise some new life in different ways, in the broader popular culture. So the TI-99/4 debuts with Nimoy saying purchasing a TI-99 would be...only logical. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed in SoDak Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 That way TI only had to pay Shatner half his usual endorsement fee! Or maybe it was Tramiel in the act of teleporting Kirk back to the USS Commode. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMike Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 He definitely did a wonderful job showing me how to clean that copd mask ohhh, that reminds me, I need to order my mask today, just another thing I need to own and clean. Who needs COPD anyway to own that mask? What a salesman!! Thanks Shatner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hey, that just gave me an idea! How about TI-99/4A Covid-19 masks with the "ti99.atariage.com" web address on them? It could have a photo of a TI-99/4A and the address below it. You never know what former TI'er on the street may see it, check in here and get bit by the "TI Bug" all over again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wierd_w Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 The sad part, is that they probably would have sold an epic boatload of units had they actually asked her to do a spot like that. (Though the "concerned mother" phenomenon would have backlashed, so there's that.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMike Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Yeah, they'd really need a mad scientist to do this. Back to the future... but I think that movie came out later..too bad Edited October 5, 2020 by GDMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
