Brian Caldwell has scanned a bunch of great video game cartridge advertisements from the 1980’s. Burgertime rocks, I remember playing that one nonstop for days.

Did the Kool-Aid Man Game involve a Jim Jones-like cult leader?

Right on Scott!

I was a Burgertime afficionado myself. I remember it came packaged with the Intelivision II.

Watch out for those pickles & keep the S&P shaker ready.

I had Intellivision when I was a kid. All of my friends had Atari, or Calico (sp?); lucky ducks. I recently bought a handheld Intellivision game, from Walgreens. Same games, but not the same. Oh, to be 10 again.
