Bally and Astrovision Advertisements and Catalogs - These are flyers, catalogs, and other
miscellaneous advertisements by Bally and Astrovision. Many of these are full color, eye-candy;
worth a look through, especially to see some items that were not released. |
 |
JS&A Advertisements from Catalogs - These are the advertisements that
introduced the Bally Professional Arcade to consumors in 1977. It is JS&A that had such
a very difficult time (through no fault of their own) supplying customers with their owners. |
 |
Postcards - These are postcards sent to (or to be sent by) Astrocade's owners trying to get their
business or offering warranties. |
 |
Sourcebooks - By R.M.H. Glance through these Sourcebooks--
it is highly recommended. Each Sourcebook is a resource, like a catalog for
Astrocade, that contains information like: New Owner Information, System Summary,
Index to all Sources, Arcadian Newsletter program descriptions, Astrocade Inc.
Products, Software and Hardware Sources, Mail Order Dealers, Repairs and Service,
User group Information, and a compilation of sources of software and hardware
products for the Bally Arcade/Astrocade. |

Astrocade Hand Controls Sale - One page. Full page Astrocade Inc. ad that states
"Astrocade Hand Controls for the Low! Low! price of $14.95 per pair (Regular $59.95) You save $45.00!!!!"
There is no date on this ad, but it's probably about 1983. |
|
Astrocade Sale - One page. Full page Astrocade Inc. for a console and your choice
of one game for 69.95 as a celebration of Astrocade Inc. getting out of chapter 11. Notice that BASIC isn't noted
as being included. I'm not sure if this was an oversight, or if these blow-out consoles didn't come with it to save money. |
