Great find, Sketch!

I remember a looooong time ago we were discussing that tank appearing as part of the extras on the 20th Anniversary DVD, and wondering where it came from. DaveTRON cleared it up, and mentioned that Richard Taylor might send him a copy of the video.

Well, now we're finally able to see it.

A little off subject.... Here is some TRW information... Just for giggles..

TRW Incorporated was an American corporation involved in a number of businesses, mostly defense-related, but including automotive supply and credit reporting. On December 12, 2002, Northrop Grumman acquired the defense business, and TRW Automotive Holdings, formerly LucasVarity (However John C. Plant still retaining major ownership) became a separate company, soon afterwards acquired by The Blackstone Group. Goodrich Corporation acquired TRW's Lucas Aerospace group. The credit reporting business, which was spun off in 1996, is now called Experian.

Great find, Sketch.

The computer animation and tank look very TRON-like. I've seen that specific tank in the image archives. I thought it was a concept 3D rendering for TRON or something actually based on TRON. I had no idea that was the Worm Ward 1 tank.

That was a great commercial. What a great example of inserting top-of-the-line, high-tech, futuristic computer animation (for the time) to show what the very low resolution and simplistic actual game was representative of.

That's exactly what used to get me in to the games. I often looked at the Atari games as just the "scanner-view" of a game. In my mind, there was always a lot more going on than in the actual blocky graphics itself. Great marketing technique.

Funny how these days there's usually only actual in-game footage shown, sometimes interlaced with the film footage it was based on (for movie game) or live action whatever it was based on just to show how much like real life the game graphics and play really is.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Firstly, great video, cool TRONnish tank.
Second, anyone else notice that that game was kind of a rip-off of Centipede? Anyone? Or am I the only one who goes to the only arcade in town to play Centipede.

Yes, GREAT find. And I remember that discussion. In fact I might have been the one that started it. I can't find it now as the search feature here seems to be almost useless but I'm very greatful to finally see that video.
