Under 50 Bucks...Now, isn't that NICE!

I can't here the word Atari without this commerical runningn through my head. Tramiel didn't spend much on his products, but he paid well to have this add run ENDLESSLY back in the mid-late 80's.

 

 

An Atari rap song...Yeesh!!

It looks a LITTLE better on the PS2 Activision compilation disc, but not much. The only existing copy of the master must be looking like it was put through a cheeze grader. I am happy that it still exists at least. I am also thrilled that so many of those Atari commercials available on You Tube.

 

P.S. That Zelda Rap commercials is scary.

Well its effectively advertising a 2600 jr. and as I recall it aired in 1986, just before we got a new Nintendo that following Christmas. This was Jack Tramiel's double edged marketing ploy to not only launch the 7800, but also to offer the 2600 in a new attractive package as a budget system in the US.

 

Atari commercials are funny things though. I can't for the life of me recall seeing any Atari commericals featuring that funky "Have You played Atari today..." jingle. I didn't even know Atari HAD a jingle before I came to this site. Yet the commercials on You Tube, clearly prove that i was mistaken.

There's a new song out now in which the emcee spits something about a playstation controller.

 

I never knew anyone spat an Atari commercial. That was pretty cool.

Jeez, The guy who I guess is supposed to be the "Dad" looks like he's wacked out on a StarBucks Double-Expresso Grande Enema.

 

They should get him away from the game system before he dies from a hyper-happy spastic episode...

I don't think that was "Dad", I think that it was Ralph Malph from Happy Days
