1982 Astrocade Catalog, in its entirety

For anyone interested:

All 30+ pages have been scanned!

EDIT: this isn't displaying properly in IE now. I'm working on it. Other browsers don't seem to have a problem with it.

Interesting.

picview.asp is trying to download on the second image, though (probably others as well)...so I can't view that image.

What Ed said.

Pics 3 - 31 are trying to launch an ASP page called picview.asp, but IE won't view it for some reason... keeps prompting me to Open or Save the file.

Bloody hell...! Of course, they all look right on my end. I'm going to have to pull it down and get it straightened out. Sorry!

[Astro Lad]

Cool stuff.

Dunno, usually it's the other way around, but this all loaded perfectly in Firebird.

Apparently I'm a jackass.

It displays properly with Mozilla too. I'm leaving it up in its current form until I can get it fixed, so check back later if you're browsing with IE. Shitty scene, I know, but that's what happens when you try doing stuff like this when you're supposed to be working. :o

Cool..

Well everything works, just save as the page number, open up a picture program (ms photo etc) and save as a jpeg. I got the whole thing. Cool job too!

I actually got one of these catalogs when I got my Astrocade earlier this year. It's missing the front/last page and it's a bit beat up, but it's a fun read. Is it worth anything though? I really have no idea of the rarity of this catalog.

Looks good, but still not working for me. I did the 'save as' jpg trick and that got it going

Music Maker was released by a small 3rd party publisher. It was sold in a small box and came with the interface on the cartridge. Sadly, I sold my copy to a fellow collector. I wish that I had held onto it because I think that there were only about 30 of these made.

Yeah, some of those unreleased games actually did see an unofficial release (according to the DP guide, at least) in incomplete forms.

BTW--Thanks to mcgrail0007@netzero.net for this catalog in the first place! He sent it to me along with some Vectrex carts I bought from him. :)

the "unofficial releases" of unfinished and prototype Astrocade carts are still available from a guy named Mike White for about $10-$15 each. His price list is on the ballyalley website somewhere.

Well, only a week later, but the links should work for anyone now. Larsoncc added the sweet thumbnail views too.

I've got some other catalogs coming soon too (Vectrex, Intellivision, Atari, etc) so stay tuned.
