eegad Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Sorry if perhaps it's been posted before, but... In cleaning out my inlaws house,I came across a 1982 issue of Games magazine. I browsed through it. There were 4 ads for Atari stuff. This one I looked at, turned the page, then flipped back and was like "what???". So... Q: What's wrong with this picture? A: Look at the picture on the PacMan box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 So there's a version of Adventure with Pacman instead of the little square? Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarikid96 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Lmao. Probably caused by the drugs back then Edited April 15, 2017 by Atarikid96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 That's one long monster to chase Pac-Man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Changed an Adventure to Pac Man to increase sales. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_wizard_666 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Yeah, my guess is they took an older advert and did a quickie edit when Pac-Man was released, and they just missed the artwork. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Heh, I think your right about that being a quick edit. Something else that also strikes me....the point's been made before, but man, that Atari system was still really expensive in 1982! $150 then was worth $379 in 2017 dollars! I got my PS4 brand new with a game included (although only one controller) a few months ago for $250! Some of the games being sold for $8, though...that's a bit better, as that's about $20 in today's money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 PAC-MAN is an Adventure!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiki Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I got my PS4 brand new with a game included (although only one controller) a few months ago for $250! PS4 is no real value in today's measures. It's more or less a multitasking PC with online requirement to live on. Atari 2600 was something like non existent Emotion Engine v2 now back then.

Zonie Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) I don't even want to calculate the value of a $500 console TV in today's prices... Edited April 17, 2017 by Zonie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaccoonyDave Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I don't even want to calculate the value of a $500 console TV in today's prices... I know it's a CRT and probably 30-40 years old, but to me this TV screams Hi-tech and Futuristic. I guess that what I get for forming my first memories in the 90s without cable on my woodgrain TV.
