Atari 2600

Background
The Atari 2600, initially branded as the Atari Video Computer System (Atari VCS) from its release until November 1982, is a home video game console developed and produced by Atari, Inc. Released in September 11, 1977, it popularized microprocessor-based hardware and games stored on swappable ROM cartridges, a format first used with the Fairchild Channel F in November 1976. The Atari VCS was bundled with two joystick controllers, a conjoined pair of paddle controllers, and a game cartridge; initially Combat, and later Pac-Man.

Tag (1982-1991?)
Note: The logo in the second video starts at 0:25, and the logo in the third video starts at 0:26.

Visuals: The text "Atari" in Harry Fat is seen. Suddenly, the text "VI" "DE" "O" "COM" "PU" "TER" "SYS" "TEM", in a Westminster-like font pops up along with the Atari "Fuji Mountain" logo in rainbow (almost like the two are being typed into the system). When the two are done, a flash appears at the bottom (a la Walt Disney Pictures) and turns the jumbled text into a complete sentence, "VIDEO COMPUTER SYSTEM".

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: An electric piano jingle that turns orchestrated. This jingle is known as the "Have you played Atari today" jingle. A chorus sings "Have you played Atari today?" while the jingle turns orchestrated. On a 1982 commercial, the audio is in a higher pitch. Audio Trivia: Atari's console, Jaguar, has the jingle play during the standard bootscreen with the Atari name.

Audio Variant: The animatics have the audio pitched three semitones lower to fit the key of the music in the animatics.

Availability: Seen on commercials for the Atari 2600 and its games.
