Atari 5200 Commercial

here's a commercial featuring the Angry Video Game Nerd's most hated atari console: the Atari 5200. although this system was the first console to include more than 2 controller ports, this system had it's share of issues such as controllers which had numeric keypads, not to mentioned that they [the controllers] easily broke, and the "mysterious back storage area" which is big enough for a beer bottle.

Yes, everywhere. They're hiding under your bed, in your closet, in your bowl of breakfast cereal, on the street, in the traffic lights. Wherever you go, they're always watching you.

@MrHP25 and to make matters worse:

They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. Atari 5200 units feel no pity or remorse or fear. And they will absolutely won't stop...EVER... Until you are dead.

It's a great system, AVGN only commented on how shit the controllers were and how the first revision had that crappy RF box.

I doubt you've played one.

@MrssPotatoDick You mean you can't play Skyrim on Colecovision? Not even with the adapter?!

[bradmanhamtarofan]

Its crap avgn said so.

[balsphinktahr]

They play OTHER system's games!?

[Murrison]

NOW you're talkin!

[Despatche]

@Ozqawr They somewhat still do that. Old advertising (even on boxes and flyers) uses strange language (scarily honest?), though.

[MrssPotatoDick]

These guys would literally shit their pants if they saw skyrim

[Ozqawr]

It feels like all old-school game commercials basically are saying "we are much better than our competition".

And there watching you

I know you all probably know this, but that was Pac-Man for the Atari 2600, not Colecovision.
