Atari Interactive (Hasbro Interactive)

Background
Atari Interactive was the name used by Atari Corporation to port their Atari Jaguar titles to MS-DOS. However, only one game was published before Atari Corporation was purchased by JTS Storage and exited the video game industry.

In 1998, Hasbro bought the remains of Atari Corporation from JTS Storage, forming Atari Interactive, Inc., a subsidiary of Hasbro Interactive.

When Infogrames acquired Hasbro Interactive in 2001, Atari Interactive remained as a subsidiary, with the Atari brand beginning to be used on several Infogrames titles until 2003, when the company officially reorganized its subsidiaries into Atari-branded names, which included renaming Infogrames Interactive, Inc. to Atari Interactive, Inc..

1st Logo (October 31, 1996)


Logo: On a steel background, we see the familiar Atari tripod logo to the left of the screen. "ATARI" is seen next to it, with "INTERACTIVE" below it.

FX/SFX: Just the fade in and out.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Only seen on the MS-DOS port of Tempest 2000. This logo would have appeared on the other Atari Jaguar games that would have been ported to DOS, but were cancelled after Atari was bought by JTS Storage.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1999-2000)
g2POvqPOu-8

Nickname: "Partitari", "Hasbro Atari"

Logo: There are and  images and particles moving over a colored background. After while, a ghostly image of an Atari logo flashes and then 6 different images appear in boxes, which move from the right and then vanish in order for the next image to appear. In order, the images depict several games released under the brand:
 * Pong (2 flippers with faces hitting a ball)
 * Centipede (the face of the Queen Pede from the Centipede 3D remake)
 * Missile Command (the shooter used to shoot missiles, with lines forming where it has to shoot)
 * Q*Bert (Q*Bert himself)
 * The Next Tetris (Tetris blocks, with ones falling down and turning)
 * Glover (Glover kicking his bouncy ball).

After that, the six images appear all again for a brief second, as a ghostly Atari logo flashes behind it in different colors, which ends with the Atari logo (with the same colorful ghostly image behind it, still flashing) and the colors vanishing. A large flash happens and then the entire background turns black. The logo then fades out.

Variant:
 * A shorter version exists, where the beginning starts off, but rather than having images, it goes to a ghostly image of the logo, which then becomes solid. The background continues to move and diminishes into the logo.
 * On the PlayStation version of Glover, the logo is cropped to widescreen to match the opening cutscene, as they're part of the same video file.
 * On the Atari Demo Disk for the PlayStation, a variant of the standard logo is used. When each picture is displayed, text depicting what game is displayed shown in square brackets moves to the left. When the Atari logo appears, the slogan "play to win" in a stripy font slowly zooms into the logo and disappears.

FX/SFX: All the simple animations.

Music/Sounds: Short electronic entries composed together.

Availability: Rare, as not many games used this logo (most Hasbro Interactive Atari games used their own variants).
 * The normal version appeared on the Dreamcast version of Centipede (the PlayStation and PC versions use the Hasbro Interactive logo) and the PlayStation version of Glover (replacing the Glover variant of the Hasbro Interactive logo). The variant on that appears on the Atari demo disc for the PlayStation.
 * The short version of the logo appears on the Dreamcast and PC versions of Q*Bert (the next logo appears in the PlayStation version) and Nerf Arena Blast for PC.
 * This logo was also going to be used on the Dreamcast version of Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge, but it was replaced with the 4th Hasbro Interactive logo instead (it's still viewable in the game's files).

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (November 30, 1999)
Nickname: "The Cellar of Boxes", "Hasbro Atari ll"

Logo: A tripod is created with matter particles, surrounded by a  glow and moves to the left. Then it becomes rainbow and the background lights up to show a room full of monopoly-like designed boxes. A rainbow spot flies to the right, opening "ATARI", and becoming a copyright mark itself. The logo glows and shuts down.

FX/SFX: Rather simple animation of the logo.

Music/Sounds: Thundering and squeaking are heard.

Availability: Extremely rare. This logo is only seen on the PlayStation version of Q*Bert. The PC and Dreamcast versions of the game both use the second logo.

Editor's Note: None.
