Activision
Patches
by Michael
Thomasson
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!
