Atari 1978 TV commercial

[thefirstbeast]

@jupitercrash123 Haha same here

[chadwarrenonline]

"You can't keep me in here, Atari." I'll leave my living room some day, someday... :\ OBEY!

[Bizarrix]

That baseball game scared me...Which game is 0:28?

[jupitercrash123]

I quit Atari to play Nintindoe

[tobyradloff]

People still love Atari, considering that there are a few "plug and play" games out now that brought back the classic Atari experience...incuding one that has 10 games (such as Asteroids and Centipede) that looks like an Atari joystick, and one with 60 games that looks similar to the old 2600 console. Now if someone could bring back "Custer's Revenge" for the Atari, I would be very happy.

[tobyradloff]

@TheRiggyRiggs

Or The Apple Dumpling Gang got caught.

[HyperRush79]

The white guy is in the jail.

[sethlanz]

I dumbed my gf to play atari

[TheReubenKincaid]

LOL The baseball game was shit

[donmurray26]

@heavensxnight , where did I ever say you were fat obese or into sports? I don't think I mentioned anyone in particular about anything. ?????

[chauncy817]

I quit atari to get a life

[donmurray26]

Please learn to spell before commenting.

[donmurray26]

Wonder why all the kids today are so obese? Maybe they quit playing all sports altogether

[heavensxnight]

@donmurray26 I was never really into sports, and I'm not obese or even came close.

[michael9678727]

I quit soccer to play atari, then millions of kids became obese

[guaditarios]

Atari got Pelé

fuck off FIFA 12

[spamloaf]

Yeah, that's not Don Knotts, dipshizzles.

[fortressofcomfort]

Didn't Steve Jobs write Breakout ?

[angelonebros2]

@smashdude64, I used to think Skyrim jokes were not funny, 'till I took an arrow to the knee.

[maddogmcrae]

Thinking of Pele's quote make me think how life is imitating art. Now kids are always inside, playing video games.

[WebVManReturns]

I quit attending Harvard to play Atari. (Kidding. I never attended Harvard.)

[rek1225]

Pete Rose. I saw him play many times as a kid in Cincinnati. As a coach and a player. 

[TylerMcNamerRULES]

"Don't just watch telivsion tonight, play it!"

[TeamRocketReviews]

@TylerMcNamerRULES Don't just watch Intellivision tonight, play it!

[TylerMcNamerRULES]

@TeamRocketReviews Don't just play soccar tonight, play it!

[onlinetag]

ok wtf

[Nowhin]

“Pelé is king of the soccer field. To be king of your kitchen, use Crestfield Wax Paper.

[12helloguy]

that was great for my left ear.

[TheAndyman1000]

@12helloguy You too?

[MARIOPOWERUP]

Was Ithe only person that did not hear anything?

[aegisofhonor]

I liked seeing Don Knotts and Pele in the same commercial, Atari was so awesome back then, I'm sure it was on every kid's Christmas wish list back in 1978 (and not that year, defiantly 1979)

[Tardgazm]

I'm sure Pete Rose bet on that game.

[drewdudy]

Its funny how the marketed video games back then. You have the magical power to control the stuff moving in the your t.v

[TheNintendowarrior]

@InfectesStyles ya and i shot that arrow :)

[Infectedstyles]

I used to play atari, then I took an arrow to the knee

[smashdude64]

@Infectedstyles Enough with the stupid Skyrim jokes. It's unoriginal and not funny.

[Infectedstyles]

@smashdude64 no u

[BlackmarketFTW]

hmmm..... play my tv?

[StockRoom209]

don't just watch tv tonight..play it!! haha oh we all played with it Im sure LOL

[killersammy1]

Breakout was awesome

[senolnasufovski]

That explains why Pelé doesn't play soccer anymore.

[MUNDOPEGASSEROFAN]

[ScrewLimbBizkit]

@MUNDOPEGASSEROFAN

[deemoe7301]

Good times! I still would love to play those vintage games today. I remember this commercial like it was yesterday! LOL.

[Pimpczar2011]

I was 04 in 1978 and my family did'nt get this system until christmas 82

[dakarus]

OKAY ATARI LET'S SEE YOUR BEST BITCH

[vidform]

I use to love Air Sea Battle.

[eyeh8nbc]

Why did Don Knotts do this commercial?

[ricarleite]

@eyeh8nbc By 1978 he didn't get too many roles.

[Kyntteri1]

Don Knotts RIP!

[CatTitBingo]

[heathergee28]

@CatTitBingo gpoy

[TheRetroLper]

@CatTitBingo it was cool back then but now you get made fun of

[CatTitBingo]

@TheRetroLper just quoting what pele said

[Tinyjb0]

@CatTitBingo Congrats, you quoted the video. Want a cookie now?

[CatTitBingo]

@Tinyjb0 k

[MattTheSaiyan]

The 2600 version of "Breakout" is wonderful! Of course, it is hard to ruin breakout, though the version on the horrific "Retro Atari" release for the DS managed to do that. But seriously, a good port with lovely paddle controls.

[CO9207]

@MattTheSaiyan They fixed it in Atari's Greatest Hits Vol. 2 for DS and it' a lot better! (Both the original and Super for A2600 and Super for Arcade!)

[wildsmiley]

@MattTheSaiyan Super Breakout is even better.

[genesislordofdarknes]

This is back when Atari had money to do pretty much anything.

[duequesne]

Video games came a long way!

[heine71]

Is that Pele's daughter with Pele?

[prlad85]

@heine71 no.

[ricarleite]

@heine71 Pele had about 20 kids, most of them illegitimate, so she might be! Jokes aside, no, it is an actress.
