Mindfield Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I've been noticing, as I collect Atari commercials, that every now and then they've used television and movie stars that were either famous at the time, were just up and coming, or got their start doing ads like this, and I'm wondering just how many there were. So far I've found these: Billy Martin - 70s/80s baseball great for RealSports Baseball. Elizabeth Shue - Atari 2600 "Buy Two Get One Free" ad. Looks like she was just getting her start in film with this ad. Phil Hartman - Late great SNL comedian for Activision's Hockey. Gary Grubbs - One of those guest or bit-part actors you always know when you see but never remember his name, for Activision's Stampede. Alan Alda - M*A*S*H legend and veteran movie and TV actor for Atari's XL home computer line. Any others anyone knows of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I think John Madden did commercials for CBS videogames (Gorf, Wizard of Wor). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I'm pretty sure that's Peter Jason, from They Live in the Chopper Command commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
