Jess Ragan Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Guess what ancient game system was prominently displayed in last night's episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force? That's right, folks, it was the Atari 2600. I've got screen captures from both that episode and Sealab 2021 (with two of the characters holding Atari joysticks) if anyone would like to have them. Just PM me and let me know! JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I saw that too! I flipped out with the Ouigi (sp) and Insult games! They had Shake on there too. Not a bad "would-have-been" screenshot either Man, I thought I was the only one nutty enough to stay up that late on Sunday Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adams_ale Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I saw it too. Shake haunting the 2600. One of the funniest episodes I've seen yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2600 Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I'll have to check trhis out more. I have been catching some episodes of ATHF and it's not bad. I finally understand where Shortly, Mr.Foodmonster and others have gotten their avatars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 ATHF took awhile to grow on me, but I like it quite a bit now. (I saw the Atari episode last night, too.) Sealab 2021 just doesn't work for me. It's not absurd or funny enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I made this: http://upload.creamedgeezer.com/images/atari-shake.gif If you guys are into any other Adult Swim stuff (The Brak Show, to be specific), I made the only website dedicated to Brak's Dad. http://dad.creamedgeezer.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.FoodMonster Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 That ep actually premired a few weeks ago (2 or 3, I dont remember). There is that one, the SeaLab one, but there was also another ep that it was in, but I dont remember right now. Athf rocks, and I am really surprized nobody has made a mooninites game atleast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Yea it was 2 weeks ago. I'm gonna get a sound clip of brak saying "Brak loves Atari!" from the Dinner Party episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 OK, here's a nice collection of screen caps from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode, along with a couple from Sealab 2021. I hope you'll forgive the quality of the pictures... I'm using an older video capture card, so they're not especially crisp.

Chuck Gill Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Jess, thanks for the pack o' captures. I've got a new desktop background. The cue cards the witchdoctor had them read were hilarious. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. -Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin242 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I watched an interesting little documentary about the animators of ATHF (as well as other shows on adult swim) one of the animators has a mint condition and working atari 2600 next to his workstation (it was running circus atari during the interview) Also of interest, originally the mooninites (the wierd little videogame charactors) where supposed to be the result of some mutation from the landfill of atari ET carts buried in the desert but when they couldnt find a way to explain all that in the short 12 minute episode they just made them come from the moon. The sound effects for the mooninites when they move or walk is straight out of 2600 pac man. great show btw glad to see so many others like it!!! kvn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
