Retro Scan of the Week: “Omega Race Finally Comes Home!”
Monday, January 1st, 2007
Archie? Is that you?
They just don’t make game ads like they used to. Say, did anybody have the Booster Grip accessory that came with Omega Race? I’d never even heard of it until I came across this ad. I’m guessing that it plugged into the 2nd player port to provide the extra controls — a really neat idea. The quantity and diversity of hardware accessories made for the Atari 2600 is astounding. Somebody should compile a list of them someday, if they haven’t already.
By the way, Happy 2007!
