Had to get it out of my head.

Fake label for an Atari 2600 game. This is the black variant, with text in Pump font at the top, as seen in early 80's games, with artwork in a square with rounded corners in the center. The title reads, "game program "Mankind*" Use with paddle controllers."

The image focuses on the orange astronaut and the man standing by a flock of birds.

At the bottom, copyright information says it is copyright 1981 Atari, Inc. The * in the game title is clarified, "* A quickly tossed-off photo manipulation by Chris Drum"
