Title: Atari 1983 Calender Art
Post by: BUCKETHEAD on April 26, 2005, 07:52:27 pm

I found my old 1983 Atari Coupon Calender.

I scanned the art from it.

Great pictures!

Enjoy!

(Except for E.T. It has wrinkles!)

Nope, I sold all my old ATARI systems.

Along with this calender, Which was mailed today.

I scanned it before packing it up to be mailed.

I loved the Artwork.

My personal favoeite though is the

ATARI 5200 SYSTEM.

I have a 2600 in my living room.  My kids and I use it all the time.

BTW, that's not calendar art, that's box art that they put onto a calendar.

i love the way they show centipede, galaxian and breakout.  i would have never pictured them as that.  like with galaxian, i always think of space ships, not bird people.  and a magician in centipede?  i don't get it...maybe i really don't understand these games.

my kids love combat and frogger   :)

We're big fans of HERO, Berzerk, JoustPong, This Planet Sucks, Pac Man Arcade.... we're big on the homebrews.  The kids LOVE Human Cannonball, they laugh like crazy.
