Damn, those were the days. Sitting at peacefully on the beach, chicks come to you and want to play video games. The games had a holographic screen and they were powered by sand. Oh how i miss those simple peaceful days... sigh
at the beginning when they check the chicks out and the guy slaps the other's face, it almost looks like they are about to start kissing :D but this commercial is from the 80s (heck, even the first half of it) so it's not gay, it's COOL!
@Branden2732 The Atari 5200 was made to battle Colecovision, not the NES so there's really no comparison since Nintendo hadn't yet come out with their own game console yet. Now the Atari7800 was made to compete with the NES. The Atari2600 was to compete with Intellivision, the Atari5200 was made to compete with Colecovision, and the Atari7800 was made to compete with the NES.
Console gaming was an evolution. The NES was naturally the next step after the Colecovision. The Atari 2600 is actually 1970's technology. The 5200 would have done better if it were reverse compatible and played all the MILLIONS of 2600 games already in existence. By the time the 7800 came out, Atari was already on the road to nowhere, having lost credibility after the video game crash of 1983 and other blunders like this one.
shit..hot chicks on the beach and reagan in office....how can you go wrong??!!?? the 80s were the last gasp of TRUE America. KISS IT FUCKING BYE BYE, now. Sorry to say.
They looks like nice versions of those games...but...some of those games were already played-out by many gamers at that point. I read it took a while before the system started getting exclusives, but by that point, it was too late. But nevertheless, I still want one of these over-sized consoles. Even with the controllers from hell.
That's a lot of T&A for a 1980s Atari commercial. Quite a departure from the 2600 ads showing the whole family playing in the living room. "It's gonna be a hummer"?? ;)
Just realizing this commercial is perhaps over 30 years old. If any of those actors where in their 20's they would be in their fifties today. And I somehow doubt those hot girls still have those hard bodies.
Isn't this risque for the 1980s?
