It's the 2600 from Atari!
$50 for an Atari 2600 with the games being probably $20 or less was a pretty great deal in 1987 all things considered.

Atari 2600 is back? But I still don't own a Sega CD!

Solaris looks pretty good for a late-period 2600 game.

I was a baller back then because I had the 7800.

Once the NES had successfully brought video games back to the home market. Atari did this as a desperate cash grab based solely on the fact it was a system with a huge library already while the NES was still building theirs. So I'd say 1987 is probably accurate.

Just for the information adjusted for inflation that would be $112.58 for the console and $45.03 for the games.

I hated that commercial when it was an actual thing.
And yes, I know the fact that I was alive when it originally aired makes me old.
