How Atari Used To Sell Things When They Could Still Sell Things

Know this before you go on: the current "Atari" isn't really Atari. The original company is loooooong gone. But the memory of them lives on! And it lives on through stuff like this catalogue from 1981, dug up by huguesjohnson, which features not only the company's lineup of games for the year, but also some of the greatest gaming art I've ever seen. You haven't seen "games as art" til you've seen the Atari art department's interpretation of a cheap hooker and her poker-playing pimp.
