This catalog, titled, "The Atari Advantage", was produced when Atari
introduced the 2600 Jr. in an attempt to capitalize one last time on the 2600's
early 80s popularity. This is the period that produced all the red-label
Atari 2600 games, including some licensed from Coleco (such as Mouse
Trap). Only one of the 40 games pictured never saw the light of day, Realsports
Basketball. This catalog featured a contest with the grand prize being a
7-day trip to California including a day at Atari Headquarters to "see
video games designed." But in order to become eligible to enter an essay
writing contest to win the trip you first had to purchase 25 game cartridges.
In addition, purchasing games could net you free Atari T-shirts, game cartridges,
and discounts on Atari hardware.Click Here To View Catalog |
