Misfits Of Science — Atari 2600

Coming soon

Archive note

Promotional retail flyer for an unlicensed Atari 2600 adaptation of the 1985 NBC series Misfits of Science, featuring the ensemble cast (Glenn Corbett, Courteney Cox, Mark Thomas Miller, Dean Paul Martin) in action poses. The poster positions the game as a new release at $29.95, pairing it with hardware imagery and bilingual Chinese-English marketing copy. This artifact suggests a parallel timeline in which the short-lived superhero comedy received a video game tie-in — a common practice for genre television of that era, though no such release is documented in the official Atari catalog. Collectible for scholars of alternate 1980s media synergy and lost science-fiction television adaptations.

Catalogued, not yet released. This artifact will become available to acquire soon.

One artifact. One owner. On acquisition it is permanently retired from the archive. You receive the high-resolution file and a signed certificate of exclusivity.
