D.Yancey Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Star Raiders came with its own controllers. Space Shuttle came with overlays so you could use the console buttons as part of the game controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.FoodMonster Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Its really cool to see all the uniqe stuff that came with games 'back in the day'. The only game that has come out in years that I can remember coming with anything are Starfox 64 - rumble pack, DK64 - 64 meg expantion, and Wario Ware - stickers. Such a shame little giveaways are rare nowadays =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smf_4ever Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I do remember, for some reason, that when Atari Pac-Man first came out.. I got a t-shirt with it.. I don't remember if the shirt was packaged with this? or a special promotional item for buying it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
