Discover the World of Atari Home Computers

Looking at another Atari catalog from 1982

In its heyday, it seems Atari had some nice marketing materials. Another catalog I’m looking at is called “Discover the World of Atari Home Computers” and is also from 1982 like the one I previously looked at.

This catalog also has a $1 cover price, but I have to believe these were mostly given away.

At 37 pages, this is the longest catalog I’ve looked at so far. It does not have a table of contents, however. Before we dive into it, I want to show this single-page addendum that was included in it.

This addendum essentially states that the Atari 800 now comes with 48K RAM so any discussion of adding RAM modules to it is moot. It probably was just included along with most Atari 800s sold from 1982 onwards, and not really part of this catalog, but it was tucked in my catalog.
