Activision, the first 3rd party videogame publisher, operated a fantstic marketing program in the 80's to promote the sale of their software for the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Colecovision and the Mattel Intellivision. To obtain any of the coveted Activision patches, a player would need to play a particular game, reach a pre-determined score, and mail a photograph prooving the accomplishment to Activision. Weeks later the Activision patch would arrive in your mailbox compliments of Activision, accompanied by a nice letter from the company congratulating you on your game-playing skills and welcoming you to the club.

All the Activision patches are proudly displayed on this page, with the exception of the 'H.E.R.O.' patch for the Colecovision. While some other websites display the Atari 2600 and Atari 5200 'H.E.R.O.' patch as the Colecovision version, they are, in fact, of different design. The rumored Colecovision 'Zenji' patch is also absent. Anyone that can help GDG obtain images of either of these two patches needed to complete this gallery will be repeatedly thanked!

Good Deal Games is also looking to acquire Activision patches. If you have any patches that you would like to trade or sell, please let us know!
