Description

Five vintage 1980s t-shirts for classic arcade video games and pinball machines, including Battlezone (medium), Elvira and the Party Monsters (large), F-14 Tomcat (large), Pin-Bot (medium), and Stargate (large); the Elvira shirt is signed on the back in black felt tip by the beautiful horror icon. Each shirt features iconic logos and imagery related to these beloved coin-operated titles from Atari, Bally, and Williams. Of particular interest and rarity is the Battlezone shirt, which was printed in a limited run with reflective silver ink and given out exclusively to Atari employees and special customers; Battlezone shirts given out at trade shows used standard ink. In overall fine condition, with a few light stains and tiny holes.

From the collection of former Atari employee Wendi Allen, who worked for Atari coin-op engineering as both a hardware and software engineer, and as the principal electrical engineer who ushered Atari's vector graphics hardware to market.
