Pictures of old video game ads, stores, displays, etc.

In my search of Kiosks, I came across this. Never heard of it, an Atari 5200 Starcon Controller. Thats a 2600 Amiga Joyboard to the right. Evidently only 35 were sold making this a rare controller. I already have the 5200 WICO sticks, Keypad and a 2600 interface Masterplay, yet another unusual gaming accessory to hunt for.

From what I know of that Starcon controller, there are something like 14 known to exist, all in private collections and all not willing to sell - most were hand made by the original creator. Good luck.

Thanks guys! this is all the kind of stuff that I want to see and hear about. And yeah, the main reason I want to see pictures of stores like software etc., eb games, mediaplay, et cetera is because it is really nostalgic and I just love seeing all the old stuff lined up in new condition. Ads are also really cool to see.

Agree. I'd like to track down more of that kind of thing. I like those pics and vids of kids opening their N64s and stuff too. My grandma was a photoholic, I'm starting to wonder if there's any pictures of me opening my Genesis.

Here's a picture of a young Richard Garriott (aka Lord British) showing off his acclaimed PC games inside a Software Etc. circa 1992.

Also, 4-D Boxing! I totally forgot about that game, but I used to really like it. It probably sucks now. That's back when polygonal 3D graphics were still a novelty.

Look for scans of old magazines. Retromags.com is a good place.
