GraffitiTavern Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Had the local news on in the background this morning(KDKA, CBS Pittsburgh regional affiliate) and the morning weather forecast randomly segued into a 20-second Atari reference. They had the weather forecast on an Adventure-themed background for a bit. Things have been unseasonably warm the past day or two in Western PA, and because of the temperature going back to the 80s they 'went back to the '80s' with the Atari screen. Do other stations do this? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 That’s really great, I love it! maybe they should have put a little disclaimer “ADVENTURE is (c)1980 from Atari” since the company has been known to be rather litigious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KaeruYojimbo Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Here's a Pong one I found from a couple of years ago (complete with someone who looks way too young to remember Atari saying "Remember that old Atari game"). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Probably just infringement. Remember when Atari went after Target for having a “foot Pong” display in their stores? I really wish the oldest oldies would just go into the public domain already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have stayed in Bergen for several months to experience such a rare treat. My parents have vacationed in Austria, and have only good things to say. Apparently kids (even teenagers) are polite there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH it was my third visit, over 30 years after the first and over 20 since the second, when we got soaked on the campground 😅 12 hours ago, Lord Mushroom said: My parents have vacationed in Austria, and have only good things to say.
