Atari 2600 Game Cover Scans
The star in Vintage Gaming is the Atari 2600 machine (not to be mistaken by the other star with the 2600 in it - you know the secret sesam code to unlock all phreaks heavens). The games for it were packaged and someone got onto a flea market and snatched the console and some games in splendit condition and scanned the covers of these games and put them on the net. They are quite interesting and stylish... A nice round of Pixel Bondage anyone?

the cartridge art of defender, aka aliens and ghosts in those photoshop jobs, disturbed me as a kid and still does now. http://mightygodking.com/images/atari/aliensvghosts.jpg
fwiw, i now have that very same 2600 and a load of carts... and it ain't as good as people remember. its not even good in its simplicity. then again, what can you do with 128 BYTES of memory?
