It'll bust your crank.

And leave skid-marks on your soul.

And that, my friends, is mighty fine copywriting circa 1984. A glorious year for Atari. Pole Position.

I liked three things about that spot:

1. The mother screams, "Oh my hair, Oh my God!" when she puts on the helmet.

2. The game looks really exciting until they actually show it and you get one of those "awww man" feelings.

3. Looks like the family dies in the end and goes to hell. That's pretty cool.

Yes. I too enjoy it for the reasons you list above. Especially #3. The idea of an Atari-hell is interesting to me. How fun.
