Talk about retro: Missile Command vinyl album? photo

It's like retro on top of retro! If the Atari game Missile Command wasn't retro enough, how about a Missle Command vinyl soundtrack?

This rare 33 RPM, 12" vinyl LP from the 1980s contains the score [hah!] to this classic game. You get a whopping three tracks, with one of them being the "Atari Theme." So really two tracks. There's a running eBay auction for the vinyl album with the Buy It Now price of $100. I don't know that I'd pay $100 for this, but I'd definitely pay some money to hear what this sounds like.

And while we're on the topic of eBay, check out this alleged $100,000 worth of games auction. Nice, colorful, easy-to-read, all-caps print is appreciated. Thanks for that, seller. There's a ton of good stuff in this auction, with lots of it being new. The thing is that I don't think there's more than $10,000 worth here.

I miss Atari 2600 box art. My fave was Haunted House.

Oh, that's flippin' schway. I'd never spend that much money on anything in which I didn't have some insane personal, emotional investment, but still cool.

Holy crap -- I had this as a kid!

The music was awful... they gave the whole thing some screwy plot. One of the lyrics was something like "here on Zarkon, we are peaceful, we don't like to fight."

I wonder if it's still floating around my parents' house somewhere...

I have this album, and it is very weird but entertaining. I guess it's the equivalent of those 'Sound & Drama' albums you can get for japanese games. Only they tend to accompany games that actually have plots to start with...
