Christmas like it's 1982!

[bapenguin]

Gaming Steve (http://www.gamingsteve.com/archives/2005/12/the_1982_atari_1.php) dug out the ol' Atari 1982 Winter Catalog from his attic. Now (or then) is (or was) your chance to get some seriously cool Atari swag like a DIGITAL WATCH and Atari themed scarf or other goodies.

Can't find an Xbox 360 for the holidays this year? Seventy dollar "special edition" games getting you down? Well let's go back in time to a simpler time in video game history ... back to 1982 when the Atari 2600 ruled supreme!
Sweetness.

Too funny.. I remember that catalog... ahh thoses were the days! Atari and Apple IIe how I miss your beeps and boops.

I used to have a wallet just like that except it wasn't an Atari one.

[PantherModern]

Blast from the past, man. I might have to dig the old 2600 out and play some Yar's Revenge.

That is some serious bling bling. I want that "Bezerk" T-Shirt.

Oh dude, and that "break-out" cap would be sweet... if I was gay... In fact this now raises the question in my mind... Was that whole game like a "gay game"? You "break out" (or come out?), by breaking through the rainbow blocks?!?!?? My childhood is ruined.

I rocked an Atari 2600 into '90s.

The first comment on the linked article is really depressing, "I never knew the 2600, but that stuff looks really nerdy. But then again, Spore is probably one of the nerdiest games I've heard of."

Guess what? Playing video games IS nerdy!

[Dracula-X]

Ah, the memories... *sniff*

Tempted to dig out the 2600 now...

I remember that Media Center setup on the cover. . . for some reason I wanted it. It just looked so cool, like a little shrine to my beloved Atari.

I had the cool, early version atari with the difficulty settings on the front panel, like the reset, select, and . . . lord knows what other buttons. Start?

Woodgrain! Thats whats missin' from all these newfangled videogame systems! And neon orange buttons! I think its time to take my Centrum Silver now...

[JRR006]

That's awesome. I respect my nerdish hobby's heritage! I'd like to think I'd have had some of that stuff... had I been alive at the time. *stashes away catalogs for future generations*

Woodgrain! Thats whats missin' from all these newfangled videogame systems! And neon orange buttons! I think its time to take my Centrum Silver now...Mark my words : woodgrain is comming back in a big way. U can even get a Xbox360 woodgrain faceplate. It's only a matter of time till everyone is sick of the brushed metal look, and from computers to cellphones become made of wood again:

"Real Wooden Laptop, first in the world!"

My fuckin' ass. A co-worker of mine made one out of a p2 thinkpad ages ago that looked a hell of a lot better than that garbage. I have photos somewhere, that shit was off the proverbial hook.

I'm all for woodgrain electronics.
