doctorclu Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 So what is your favorite Atari merchandise? Favorite hat, shirt, wallet, keychain, plush, toy, etc. if it's Atari related we want to see it! Starting this off, was always a big fan of the Atari jackets. I saw then when I was in grade school and was happy to get two of them in a box of things that were passed along by another Atari hobbyist. (If you have two of them, don't store them together). So what about the rest of you? 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilco Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I love the look of these jaguar water bottles, it’s a shame they’re so hard to come by. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got back into Atari in 1999 GoAtari.com was still around and they said "Business was steady" which gave me some relief. I hadn't completely missed the party. I bought a Atari Jaguar hat which I still have, I think I got some badges, and I believe they sent me a catalog. Looks like even they didn't have the water bottles, though I thought they did. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I have the top jacket and a really nice blue one that I'd actually love to wear - it's a blue windbreaker with white sleeves and logo, sort of the opposite of the top, but even with weight loss it's just too small for me. My wife wears it occasionally though. I like it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_hawk Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I bought an Asteroids hoodie for £4 about 10 years back. I'm wearing it in almost every photograph of me for the last decade! I guess I wear it a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well post up a picture. Reminds me of a Asteriods shirt I had in grade school that said "#1 Ace of Space". I'm sure it's around somewhere. 2 hours ago, digdugnate said: i have an Atari tshirt with the multi-colored Fuji I got from Wallyworld ages ago- it's one of my fave gamer shirts. I have worn out several of those shirts. I see people wearing these all the time, but gave up asking people about Atari as it seems like it, with so many, "Just something retro and a cool shirt". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I am a nut for Atari merchandise. If I can not find stuff, I just make it for myself. I have made a ton of Tshirts, sweatshirts, hats and even a jacket. Here are three of my favorites: My embroidered Lynx/Jaguar Jacket: My embroidered Jaguar Tshirt: and to top it off(pun intended)....my Jaguar Hat: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming it was a giveaway item during their 25th year anniversary, sponsored by Atari. There are several of these bats. Here’s a thread (originally from ‘05) that discussed the bats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I'll see if I can find it. It's in a box somewhere with the other video game merchandise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really miss big retro gaming events like this one, we got to play an early Oculus prototype, had a 64 player Warlords tournament, drink beer together, played on rare cabs & consoles, saw previews of new homebrew & bang on about old videogames. Come on boffins let's get this thing cured so we can get back out there! Sorry, a bit off topic there, looking at these photos has made me a bit nostalgic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 So, is this thread about merchandise, or just Atari branded stuff? If so, is there any proof, that the baseball bats could be purchased? I have 4 different players bats, all different length. Posted a pic, in that thread that was linked earlier. My jewel, but I doubt it could be purchased, since it is an employee award of some sort... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tresidder Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 My favorite Atari merchandise is actually a digital collectable outfit and 2600 in the game "Evergleam Hill" from the Apple AppStore. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tresidder Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Oh, I googled it -- I haven't had a chance to actually see the new VCS yet -- and you're totally right! I thought it was the game that simplified the 2600, but instead it seems Atari designed the VCS after the 2600. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
