Original Atari TV Ad Unearthed

by Tom Conlon on July 10, 2007 at 05:19 PM

The big E3 video game conference kicks off tonight in Santa Monica, California, which had us hankering for Retro Thing's recent compilation of of excellent game console ads from the '80s. A George Plimpton Intellevision classic is included, along with a Colecovision ad and a 'Legend of Zelda' commercial that defies explanation. Then, of course, there's the Atari spot above in which an entire family seems to be high on goofballs. Enjoy!
