A homemade movie that was filmed at Atari's Customer Relations building in December 1982 at 1312 Crossman Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA. This is the same address listed in some game manuals where people could write to Atari with comments or questions. The scrolling credits were created with an Atari 800 computer and list the following names (sorry for any misspellings as the quality of the video is rather poor):
Dave Wilson
John Hahn
Robert Levrini
Karen Sabo
Claudia McCarley
Bill Bartlett
John Bernai
Lee Sherman
Brian Cairney
Barbara Hambleton
Vivian Murphy
* Thanks to Michael Current for helping to confirm the timeframe this was most likely filmed. There's an Atari Service banner that appears on one of the office cubicle walls, and later in the video a forklift is shown with an Atari Service sticker on it. The same cubicle also has a Space Duel poster on the wall (the game was released in February 1982) and either an Atari VCS/2600 1981 Rev D or 1982 Rev E catalog on the desk. The Atari Service was first announced in the May/June 1982 issue Atari Age magazine, along with the logo. The first use of the logo appeared in the Winter 1982/83 issue of the Atari Connection newsletter. The USPTO filing for "Atari Service" shows it was first used May 17th, 1982.
