I remember seeing a game 'Missile Command Deluxe' but I'm not sure of it's date, as well as an oversized pinball machine from Atari called 'Hercules' many years ago (late 70's). Also, many of the 80's releases were a co-op with Namco who takes some of the credits.
Did you know....
> Atari created the video game sequence used in Superman III (read the credits)
> Atari was chosen 'official video game company' at the 1984 Olympics
