Atari flashback

I am in the last month of editing and work before the Rogue Space RPG manual releases.  As a lark I mocked up a faux cover using the Atari 2600 Super Break out manual.
It was funky cool...but what struck me as really cool was the actual sci-fi back story for the game...


All of that story and cool art...and then you get to play this:


I now remember why our Atari was the bullpen choice if we couldn't get enough people to play an RPG...

Also interesting is the opening text "Imagine you are in a on-man space shuttle..." very indicative of the 1981 release date! Rainbows on the other hand are just timelss.

Clearly, we need to cast Bruce Willis for the movie adaptation.
