Astrocade catalog

[demicami]

I’m looking for this Astrocade catalog. 
Does anyone know if this came inside game boxes or only the console? Thanks.

I have one of those.  I got mine when a friend and I were in some chain store in a mall 40+ years ago (no idea which store now) and they had a table with some people demonstrating the Astrocade.  They also had a pile of those catalogs free for the taking.

 

You can view the catalog HERE.

Thanks for putting that catalog out there for us to see.

I like how Pirates Chase promotes underage drinking!

Interesting!  I'm curious about Conan the Barbarian (5004)!  What ever happened to that release?

If you look on eBay long enough you will find that catalog.  I probably sold 15+ copies of the catalog when I used to sell on eBay.

 

There is a reproduction of Conan the Barbarian on eBay.  I don't think an official release was ever made.  Michael White used to sell Astrocade games years ago.  He too released a version of Conan.  I have included a picture of Michael White's version.

 

Here is a link to a reproduction.

I used to think that this came inside every Astrocade box, but now I'm not so sure.  It's also neat to hear that someone in this thread saw the Astrocade being displayed at the mall.  I wish I had a video of that now.
