Friday Flyers.

Click the pics to Embiggen 1985 size!

Sorry for the late post today but the reason why will be made clear in another post later this evening. All is good, no tragedy or anything like that to be worried about. We have a new employee here at the Victory Vault and my hands were full trying teach him all the security codes, etc.

Look at what we have today! Bogey Manor...who wants potential buyers to know that it has a theme similar to Ghost Busters! Yes, you can tell that this game hit the arcade in 1985. I found a Youtube video of its gameplay...looks interesting to me.





That flyer for Gauntlet is something I have never seen before, I assume it was it meant to be an handout to the players in the arcade to get them interested in the game...back in my youth I didn't need the flyer to make me pump hundreds of quarters into the Gauntlet machine but the coupon would have been nice to have.

I've never seen the Peter Pack Rat arcade game out in the wild but I did see it in an episode of iCarly! My small amount of research says that Atari only 500 units were ever produced either as a 'standalone' cabinet or as an upgrade to existing cabinets. I really like the cartoon style of the game, I was also able to find some YouTube goodness for this title.



See you all a bit later in the day and I'll introduce you to the newest member of the Victory Pellet staff!

Friday Flyers.

Kind of a special Friday Flyers post today. All three of these flyers were distributed to arcade owners in 1979 as a means of drumming up some more business for Atari and their gaming empire. I particularly enjoy the second flyer with Nolan Bushnell and his stylin' pimp hat. A pretty bold choice for a CEO to make but I do believe this was during the sky is the limit phase of his career and to be honest it looks good on him.

Some day it would be might absolute honor to be able to have an interview with Mr. Nolan, I am sure he is packed full of some fun stories of the late 70's and early 80's.

Thanks as always to the Arcade Flyer Archive for the above pictures, make sure to click 'em so you can read 'em.
