I have the tabletop mini arcade cabinet of this, with a color VFD. Vacuum fluorescent display, the same type used in older microwaves or VCRs, in which you can still see all the unlit segments.
I always loved the 4-color disc Q-bert would utilize to get back to the top!!
That ad style is one of my favorites. I've always enjoyed arrays of selections--especially when it comes to video games. I think the box for the Atari 7800 had like 20 different screenshots from various games on the back, i spent a lot of time looking at them 🙂
I always jumped off the side
I like that he swore when he died. @!#&

I remember paying 100DM (~€50,-) for that one (vc2600) back then. Which would be like 5 trillion moneyz today, or something like that.
Ahhh sweet memories...played that sucker for months
Curiosity got the better of me. (100 DM = Deutsche Mark, Western German currency in 1986 when the vc2600 released) is € 112,69 as of today.
By far not the difference in inflation I suspected.
The sprites on the VIC20 version, wow.
I remember playing this in '88 or so. Amazing game for its time.
You can play it now using MAME.
Mame is such an incredible project!
