Curt Vendel Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hi, I needed to take a bit of a break today from things, so I decided to look through some archive folders that I haven't yet had a change to review and I found what appears to be an unreleased 5200 product catalog, interestingly enough, have a look at these photo's, it has what appears to be a never before seen Tempest artwork. I will try to post the full photos of all of the catalog when I'm feeling more up for it. Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSA Starfire Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 That's very interesting Curt. I take it from the multi-lingual text that the cat is from the abortive PAL launch? Hope you are well on the road to recovery Best regards, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 WOW! Can you get a better scan of it so someone can make a mock up label? once Keithen finishes Tempest it would be nice to have an authentic label for it. Anything else interesting in that catalog?

+Allan Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Double WOW! That's fantastic. Yea, when your feeling better I'd love to get a flat-high-res scan of those. They will look great in a nice frame. Hopefully some day you can find the time to look through more of the stuff you have. Who knows what is in the Vendel Vaults.

+Allan Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I just noticed that the artwork for Space Dungeon is different in that pic than it is on the Space Dungeon box and manual. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 LOL @ "99 lives". Ha! I didn't notice that before. How the heck did that get past the editors? Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Seems to be a total mockup of the Tempest gameplay there... unless they'd discovered interlace back in the 1980s. That circle looks way too smooth for standard Antic Mode E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Oberhäuser Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Awesome, I would love to do a box with this artwork! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Oberhäuser Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Curt was so kind to send me a highres scan of the artwork and here is the box:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Oberhäuser Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Interesting that this catalogue is multilingual. That means that at the time of layout of the catalogue they still had plans to release the Atari 5200 in Europe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Very nice, Marc. Is it possible to get a copy of the scan so I can make a cart label? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARMIK Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 That looks awesome very nice work, and yes one would think Pall was a go at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchman2000 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Curt was so kind to send me a highres scan of the artwork and here is the box:) Nice! But you forgot the Trak-Ball support. Nice to see but this will not be the artwork we use for the Tempest box and label once the game is finished..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Nice! But you forgot the Trak-Ball support. Nice to see but this will not be the artwork we use for the Tempest box and label once the game is finished..... Why not? It's the 'official' artwork after all. Personally I like to keep things as authentic as possible. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 I don't have a problem with the scan of the hi-res image being shared, its a very large file so I'll let it to Tempest/Marc to find a place to post it up, if you use it, just be courteous and include credit to atarimuseum.com as the source of the image, thank you.

Curt If I were in your “museum” I think I’d be like a kitten with a ball of twine. Lo-res is fine for those of us that just want to see cool stuff nobody ever knew existed.

Personally I like to keep things as authentic as possible. Tempest Nope, it's not official. We already got artwork from Curt that's going to be on the box, label and manual. Just because it's in an unreleased catalog doesn't mean that is the art that was going to be used. This artwork in the catalog might just be a placeholder. Even the demo boxes for the 2600 version don't have this artwork on them. Trust me the boxes we make will look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
