I was looking at some of my old Mad magazines from when I was a kid and came across this. It's from the April 1983 issue #238.
If you've seen it dont chew me out, just move on and be nice.
If they knew then how great the game was and how it would eventually go down in history as one of the best ever they wouldn't scoff at $37.95 LOL

Yes Atari would add "ouch" to the list price.
Shoot him.

Hehe.
Yeah, it's a Mad Magazine parody, obviously. E.T.'s thinking about healing that price tag..? [Never watched the movie myself... :(]

Speaking of which, the latest Mad (#450) has a cool Madden parody near the front of the issue. Hehe.

Yup. I never saw Schindler's List and people give me crap for it all the time. Same with Matrix Reloaded.

I would think most people would be jealous of you for the latter!
That ad is hilarious, BTW.
