The spaceship beaming people up in Defender always looked like it's proportions were off. As a kid, I remember seeing the spaceship and thinking it looked like a metal glove.

There is also one from Bitmap Books but more about the actual game graphics.

Have you played Atari today? 11 year old me was able to always answer that question yes.

So many times the box art would totally capture my imagination. I'd ask for some cartridge for Christmas or my birthday and it was always a bit of a gut punch to see the screen for the first time.

These were really quite a piece of art. Unfortunately nowadays a box is so rare.

I own the poster version ("The Art of Atari, the poster collection") and it's great. I have three of their posters hanging in my office right now. It's not just nostalgia, the art is terrific.

EDIT: the poster collection now costs $600+ on Amazon. Wow.

I always enjoyed the Magnavox Odyssey 2 box art as well
