Title: Boing balls used in old Atari advert

Not sure if this has been posted before, but it looks like Boing Balls to me at about the halfway point.

Never seen it, but hell yea. And in one frame they show a picture of that Egyptian sarcophagus that was always being displayed in Amiga literature. If i remember correctly, that picture came on the disk with delux paint.

And if I'm remembering correctly, Deluxe Paint ST was available way back when. Early '90s or so.

Hi,

You guys haven't been around long, Atari and Amiga were going hand and hand in a blood battle for the computer kingdom back then and of course they showed a lot of stuff from the Amiga, after all the Amiga was the newest greatest thing out back then, not only that but Jack Tramel had just left Commodore and went to Atari and he was trying to claim that the Amiga was in a way Atari's and his.

My first computer was a C64 back in 1984.  My first Amiga was an A500 from 1989 and had an Atari ST in 1990.  Didn't give up one for the other.  I ran both of them.  They each had their strengths at the time.  I remember the back and forth from back then.

Do you think the fighting between Atari and Commodore lead to both companies' demise?  What if they had joined forces?  Would it have made any difference?
