[hudooguru]

Your title is false advertising,,,it's buy 2 get 1 free....justice ha!

[wildsmiley]

Like, OMG, Yars' Revenge is like, most tubular! Like rilly coo, fer sure.

[punji73]

yeah it looks dodgie as but hey atari would go on for another 6 or 7 years until it died, so hey they didnt do that bad at all afterall lol

[28SNaKeS]

Oh my god, what a horrible commercial! LOL

[Tr3vor42532]

Totaly Tubular! those people sound stupid. of course, in the future, we will sound stupid now.

[WarshipAngelus]

Is this even a real commerical?

This looks more like someone on Youtube made a fake commerical for Atari..

This is pretty sad if this is a real commerical..

[Trilby91]

I Prefer Intellevision ;D

[TheKshow101]

i got a idea for a atari 2600 commercial! Chuk Norris who beats up a colecovision and then plays atari!

[loonmaniac]

This was during the Great Video Game Slump of 1983 when Atari and others were desperate to make some cash off of their inventories that suddenly nobody wanted.

[letsgetthisoverwith]

Holy shit! It's proto-Boxxy!

[Pinwormx]

Totally.I speak like this to my kids. That and ebonics.

[dogeymon83]

Oh God! Was there actually a time when this was funny??? Who popularized the valley girl voice?  I'll bet it was Julie Brown.

[dorn2100]

@dogeymon83 For those of us that don't live in California..it was Frank Zappa who spread the word across North America with his hit "Valley Girl" in the early 80's.

[dogeymon83]

@dorn2100 - Know I mean I wonder who popularized the "voice". Not the saying.

[RideMyBMW]

Warlords n Indy 500 , with the free paddle joysticks and Math Gran Prix for free (good excuse to get my folks to let me play non stop all day)

[whattheheck1000]

That's a pretty good deal. I bet NO ONE got Math Gran Prix.

[Iceberg211989]

especially considering there is a D missing on grand prix

[whattheheck1000]

@Iceberg211989

Math Gran Prix: 7 + 5 = 12

...Ugh, this is boring...

Breakout: Bounce, bounce, bounce

...cool...

Space invaders: BLAST BLAST BLAST

...AWESOME!!....

[sjk72]

@whattheheck1000 7 + 5 = 12?

[whattheheck1000]

@sjk72 yes...

[cbgames]

valley girls haven't changed at all.

[sjk72]

@cbgames Really?

[toothpic123]

this is sexist!

[D313370r]

No, its just realistic.

[xgamer3000]

I'm gonna play em on the Colecovision expansion and make atari no money!

Seriously, HOW THE HELL DID THEY AVOID ANY LAWSUITS?!?!

[Bittergamer1886]

@xgamer3000 I was just as surprised as you were. But technically, Coleco didn't use Atari's technology because they made it from scratch and not by Atari's original design, so technically, Coleco never infringed any copyrights, and thus gave birth to the Gemini.

[radiorob1]

A pathetic ploy to sell crappy overpriced games.

Bad Atari!! Bad! Bad!

[xgamer3000]

Looks like you could get Adventure, Air-Sea battle, and Night Driver, so maybe it was pretty cool.

[VaderNES]

I would buy Space Invaders and Asteroids, and then get Adventure.

[Shahamu]

The good old days, when only valley girls said "like" every second sentence.

[blueshogun96]

Thank GOD nintendo brought us out of the video game depression, but I still love atari 2600 to death. Life isn't worth living without an atari :P

[Onono6]

no kidding lol
