Pong: The Next Level (1999): We start on a CGI game of Pong, with 2 gray paddles swatting a gray square ball. We shift to the paddles in close-up, as each of them bends and returns the ball, before forming the Atari logo with the rounded box. We zoom into the middle line of the logo, transitioning into a variant of the Supersonic logo. Atari (Pong: The Next Level) On the demo, it is the same as the full game, but the background eventually turns red and the tripod appears without the rounded box and in gold. The ATARI text appears from the bottom and then shines. ______________________________________________________________________________________

The Next Tetris (1999): A black Atari text and tripod without the rounded box was seen on a white background. Atari (The Next Tetris) _______________________________________________________________________________________

Breakout (2000): The logo appears on a speaker. Then the camera zooms out to a flipper DJ. The Supersonic logo appears on the DJ booth and then the Atari logo is seen printed on a towel that the protagonist Bouncer and his girlfriend Daisy are laying on. The logos are also seen in the main menu and the opening cutscene. Atari (Breakout)Atari (Breakout2) _______________________________________________________________________________________
