Have you played Atari today ?
Atarimania.com has a massive collection of vintage Atari ads. Literally dozens of them, from various countries.
I love this extract from one of them :

“Are they a passing fancy, like Hula Hoops ? ”
They’re exactly the opposite. the Atari Video Computer System Game is not a toy, to be put in the closet and forgotten. It’s a permanent part of a home entertainment center. And just as there are constantly new records available for your stereo, Atari will constantly offer new Game Program cartridges for your System.
Some are hilarious, here are some examples.
