GrizzLee Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I met Pele in the late 70s at an exhibition soccer match. I still remember buying the game at a Best store in Sacramento. Played the heck out it with my friends late into the night. still recall the rainbow fire work effects when a score happened. Pretty cool for the time IMHO. But I was easily amused back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he played for the New York Cosmos soccer team which was owned by Warner Communication. There was a lot of cross promotion between Atari and the other Warner subsidiaries like the Superman game. He even appeared in a couple of some earlier commercials for Atari... Edited January 4, 2023 by MrMaddog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
