amusing charm they exude in round after
round of the video maze game.
Their exploits are memorialized in an
original Dig Dug Tune which is only a part
of the magic captured in the two-minute
Screenvision that has played in major
first-run theaters nationwide over the past
few months.
Designed to have the razzle-dazzle ap-
pearance of a preview of an upcoming
movie release, the cinema spot targets

advertising to an audience in a com-
plementary entertainment environment.
And entertain it does! The superlative
special effects and creative story line
have many of the movie goers rolling in
the aisles long before the feature film
flashes on the screen. What's even more
important is that the "fun" portrayed in
the commercial prompts audience
members to pop a few quarters into the
Dig Dug game out in the lobby during in-
termission. Some independent theatre
managers, not included within the
Screenvision network, have voiced their
own requests to run the clip- they're
clamoring for Dig Dug's natural star-
quality magnetism .
The whimsical humor of the Dig Dug
drama has also been tested in top na-
tional television markets-both in 30- and
60-second spots. Atari is committing
money and energy in a campaign to em-
phasize to the public the many positive
aspects of the video games industry
which oftentimes go neglected by the
media. The light-hearted commercials are
intended to show how video game playing
in local arcades can provide "down-to-
earth" family fun and entertainment.
So . .. lights, camera, action. Whether
it's on the video game display screen, the
television screen or the wide cinema
screen, Dig Dug is sure to play to stand-
ing room only !
