One of Atari's 1982 "Have You Played Atari Today" series of commercials. This one features the game RealSports Football
Programmed by Rob Zdybel with graphics by Alan J. Murphy. This was a huge improvement over Atari's original Football. Ed "Too Tall" Jones (then playing for the Dallas Cowboys) endorsed this product on television. Originally slated for release in September but was delayed until December. Retail price was $26.95. The working title for this was "Football II". Based on the "red/blue" demo by Tod Frye.
