StanJr Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I recently bought a decent sized comic collection with a lot of comics from the early 80's. Needless to say these comics are chocked full of great Atari ads. If anybody is interested in SCANS of these (particularly Albert and Alex) let me know so I can scan them in before they get lost forever in my massive comic book collection. Off the top of my head I recall a TRON ad, and a Star Wars TAG ad. Any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitfall Harry Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I'm looking for high quality scans of Pitfall! game ads to add content to my website. If you run into any, please email me. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any Atari-related ads you can scan at a reasonably high resolution would be great! We need to know what comic each ad comes from (name of comic, issue #, date if it has one) and what page the ad appears on. Thanks! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Albert, are you going to set up a area to view atari ads here?, because if you do I have a shi load of ads and posters I can scan and send in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted May 13, 2002 Author Share Posted May 13, 2002 Ok. I'll get to scanning tomorrow night. What resolution do you need? Ben, I think there may have been one or two Pitfall ads, but I'm not sure, they are harder to come by. Not a lot of Activision ads in Marvel Comics, mostly PB, Atari, and M-Network. But if I come across one, I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitfall Harry Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Any Pitfall ads you might have would be greatly appreciated, Stan. I have none as yet. 150 DPI would be great. Better would be better. Thanks! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 quote: Originally posted by StanJr: Ok. I'll get to scanning tomorrow night. What resolution do you need? We'd like to get them at least 200dpi, and any higher (like 300dpi) would be better. However, I understand that those files will be huge, and we can make arrangements other than email to get them to us if you have a high speed connection. And failing that, if you have a CD burner you can always mail them to us (and I'd be glad to compensate you for the cost of any CDs you burn plus shipping). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted May 13, 2002 Author Share Posted May 13, 2002 Looking back I'm finding a lot of PB ads, a Kool-Aide Man ad, and some other stuff. It would probably be best to burn them and send them your way. I'll let you know. Ben, no Pitfall's yet. But I think I recall seeing one somewhere...

smf_4ever Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 I can look.. I have a small collection of the indiana jones comics.. it is a full set so it should have all the ads that were contracted to Marvel from like.. 82 (or 83) to 85.. ( i do remember the back cover of one is super cobra.) Once I get moved and my puter back set up I will start to work on that as well.. if a bunch are up at that point.. I can see if there is anything I can add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
