    That's really neat !!!

    I always liked the older original artwork better than the newer stuff.

    The old stuff had a quaintness to it that's lacking in the later art.

      A lot of that would make for killer posters.

        Some of it reminds me of 70's schoolbook art - like that astronaut picture.

            that looks like a ton of fun. I am currently collecting much smaller and scuffed up versions of that artwork on the carts.

                  Very cool. Atari always had awesome box art.
                  You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                    thanks, this means I need to sell more in the marketplace so i can buy this. Most of the time I wished the games were a fraction as good as the artwork for them was

                        Me too! I still enjoying playing classics, like Ms. Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Centipede, on my 2600.

                          Guilty as charged. I can still remember looking at all of the games at Circus World trying to decide which game I wanted. Usually it was the artwork that made the decision for me.
