Re: 1983 Sears Christmas Catalog
This is gold. The pages that follow are even better because they list the games.
I remember these catalogs because they told you very little about the product, yet all your hoping were riding on those few words for Christmas morning.

Re: 1983 Sears Christmas Catalog
I'm intrigued by the Gemini controllers. Has anybody used one? I take it they work with any Atari game, whether controlled via joystick or paddle?
This system looks kind of lame, but if I could go back in time I'd buy a bunch. LOL

They worked with both joystick and paddle games just as their appearances suggest. You'd connect both controllers via the supplied Y adapter dongle into port #1 for a 2 person paddle game.
