    Default Klax T-Shirt

    I've been playing a bit of Klax lately and it's got me wondering. Did anyone ever actually order the T-Shirt they advertise in the game? Did Atari actually think people would order them?

    The only thing on eBay is some modern thing and not the one in the ad.

    I've been contacted by a couple people who had an official shirt and wanted to sell it over the years. I've also seen them on eBay. It's actually pretty bland compared to what it looks like during the attract sequence. I would have been interested for $20 - $30 tops but every time I get contacted by someone they want $100+ which is just crazy for how plain the shirt is.

    I wonder if they were ones that people bought because they felt compelled to purchase something from an ad on an arcade game, or if they were from the ones that Atari more than likely got rid of years later.

    I suppose it might be cool if you own a Klax machine to hang one up beside it or something.
