Friday Flyers.

Click the awesome pics above to make 1980 sized!

There is not a single pinball machine pictured in these flyers that I wouldn't put good money down to be able to play this very evening. I'd probably have to pick the Buck Rogers one as my favorite for this week.

When you are finished reading the flyers above make sure to hop on over to the Retroist site, you might even find a couple of movie reviews that I have done. Give it a look and join the rest of us in the enjoyment of retro discussions on the forum at www.retroist.com

Box Art Wednesday.

The Commodore 64 offers us a nice selection of box art for todays post, and a huge thank you to lemon64.com for the scanned covers above!

I really like the style of that Dan Dare cover art, I believe EA released two more sequels for it, and looking at the reviews on the lemon64 site it seems to have been a pretty nice game to play.

I owned and still do the James Bond cartridge for the C-64, I also remember the difficulty I had playing the Diamonds Are Forever stage. Grrr.

I've never played the Raid on Bungeling Bay but I remember staring at the ad for it...quite frankly that is a terribly menacing cover in my opinion.
