Have You Played Atari Today?
I found a bunch of old Atari 2600 commercials on YouTube the other day. I especially liked this one:
I love the words to the song:
Way down deep inside of every man,
There’s a little boy: an Atari fan.
And without any doubt,
That boy will Breakout
When he plays a game from Atari.
Have you played Atari today?
It seems like they were advertising Atari to adults as well as children. I know my mom loved to play Breakout with us, but the more complicated games like Adventure and Pitfall were just too much for her.
Just watching these commercials makes me want to load up my Atari Anthology on Xbox and play some of the old school games. It has been awhile.
