Pac Man paperweight


Recommended Posts

I just picked this up recently and would love to know if anyone has any details about it. I know it’s got to be a promotional piece, but for whom. Customers, employees?   I could only find it in 2 places when I was researching it.  One was a member here that has one and the other was on ROMs page.  Neither provided any history though.

Guessing it was probably an internal employee thing. Maybe Tod Frye would know?

 

BTW: might you be interested in trading or selling it? Into other vintage Pac-Man collectibles?

No, not into selling. I love to add old game related merch to my collection.    This is one I really like.

I found the other member that has one. cvga has one in his collection.  I saw it in one of his pics. 

Yep. I bought mine from a guy who had a bunch of promotional stuff. I know it was a promo piece from 1982 but I'm not sure who it was given out to. I hadn't seen any others until now and had assumed it was probably given to large retail buyers. I'm not sure why though since everyone was super excited to get Pac-man. I can't imagine Atari needing to talk any stores into ordering it.

Did you supply a pic to the Atarimania site?  Didn’t know if he got that from you or elsewhere.

Very cool. Is the back the, well, back of the box, so to speak, or is it just the same image as the front?

 

Just curious, hard to tell from the pics, but looks like a card in an acrylic block basically.
