This gallery highlights the fabric patches that
Activision offered for achieving high scores on their games. Contestants
were instructed to photograph their TV with the high score showing and
mail it in, and Activision would send back a patch. Today, these
are highly collectible items. In case you were wondering, Activision
does not have any of these patches left today, so don't send them your
high scores. Really.
All patches have the name Activision atop (or otherwise set off) on the
patch save for those where the name is listed and the higher level patches
for Laser Blast and Starmaster. This table only includes the 2600
Activision patches - patches were also made for the 5200, Intellivision,
and Colecovision. Some of those patches are identical, some are
different. Not all Activision games offered patches, only those
listed here.
