Nintendo had Mario, Sega had Alex Kidd, ZX Spectrum had Miner Willy. Who was Atari’s 80s mascot?

Did the ZX Spectrum have a mascot? I'd think it would be Saberman, he was in actual good games.

Speccy had too many great games to choose from for there to be a single mascot. Did you know that Saboteur II: Avenging Angel was the first video game with a female protagonist?

>Pitfall Harry

Atari would have never acknowledge Pitfall Harry back in the day. Activision games were completely unlicensed and Atari never got any money from Activision.

Reminder that the Speccy got a near-perfect port of Galaxian (other than sound) complete with the intro/demo mode while this was the best the C64 could do.

I'm citing information from Nintendo's official website, zoomer. It's literally irrefutable.
