ATARI VANGUARD ART


I love the box art for this old Atari 2600 Vanguard computer game I saw on auction.

Painting from the perspective of the aft engines is a common device in sci-fi art and this is a great example, the ship cruising down what appears to be a fire-lit tunnel. I like the blue scart-like engines a lot.

Does anyone know about Vanguard?

      Blimey EW, I was born in 1960. Your'e in your Fifties too! So you were in arcades in 1981 then. Alas, arcade games just passed me by. I was 21 and living with a lady in Germany!
