Atari Home Computers - Kiosk Videodisc Presentation (Part 3, 1982)

Views: 2084

Here's Part 3, the last part, of an interesting time capsule - the presentation from a videodisc that ran on an in-store kiosk display to demonstrate the Atari Home Computer. This was around the time of Dragon's Lair and other laserdisc games which made the medium very popular for encorporating with computers.

The label on the laserdisc says "E.R.I.C. POP". I know POP stands for Point of Purchase - not sure about the ERIC part.

Here's Part Four of the movie "Mad" on WCFC-TV Channel 38 - our religious station in Chicago - during the program "Liberty Temple Full Gospel News". This feels like something that should be part of the Found Footage Festival.
