    Although I wish more emphasis had been made on the applications for the Atari 8-bit home computer, rather than its ubiquitous game library, these are still new to me as far as preserved advertisements / marketing campaigns*, and I enjoyed them. :)

    * VERY clever handling of Atari's Tempest on the home computer (only shows the tunnel's end and not the awful rendering / blockiness of the home computer version).

    After watching the ad a couple more times, I stand corrected: it looks like the footage was of the arcade version, not the home computer version.

    Sorry about thinking I knew what I was talking about. :facepalm:
