Logo: There are blue and red images and particles moving over a colored background. After while, a ghostly image of an Atari logo flashes and then 6 different images appear in grey boxes which move from the right and then vanish in order for the next image to appear. In order the images are Pong, (2 flippers with faces hitting a ball) Centipede, (The face of the Queen Pede from the Centipede 3D remake), Missile Command (The shooter used to shoot missiles, with red lines forming where it has to shoot), Q*Bert (Q*Bert himself), The Next Tetris (Tetris blocks, with red ones falling down and turning) and Glover (Glover kicking his bouncy ball). Then the six images appear all again for a brief second as a ghostly Atari logo flashes behind it in different colors, which ends with the Atari logo (with the same colorful ghostly image behind it, still flashing) and the colors vanishing. A large flash happens and then the entire background turns black. The logo then fades out. | Logo: There are blue and red images and particles moving over a colored background.

Variant:A shorter version exists, where the beginning starts off, but rather than having images it goes to a ghostly image of the logo, which then becomes solid. The background continues to move and diminishes into the logo. | Variant:A shorter version exists, where the beginning starts off, but rather than having images it goes to a ghostly image of the logo, which then becomes solid.

Availability: Rare, as not many games used this logo (most Hasbro Interactive Atari games used their own variants).

The short version of the logo appears on the Dreamcast and PC versions of Q*Bert (the next logo appears in the PlayStation version) and Nerf Arena Blast for PC. This logo was also going to be used on the Dreamcast version of Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge, but it was replaced with the 4th Hasbro Interactive logo instead (It's still viewable in the game's files). | Availability: Rare, as not many games used this logo (most Hasbro Interactive Atari games used their own variants).
