I DO know who the Art Director was for Atari during 1979 - 1983 and so far I haven't been able to reach him by phone from the UK. I also have an address for him so I can always send a letter (no email address). I don't know how willing/able he is to help out so I will post any progress here. Fingers crossed

Thanks for all the replies. There is certainly of great artwork to look at in boxes, catalogues and inside instructions. As some of the artists have been verified (as per the great digital press link ) why aren't these included on this site? Even the ones which aren't 100% they could have (unverified) next to the names within game details - putting that to [email protected]! There is another thing we could do and that is to ask the Atari Art Director (1977 through 1983) who was in charge of marketing design, packaging and the illustration department to see if he could help? Apart from who did what / when - what else would you ask ?

I'm a big fan of the box / instructions artwork - especially the early Atari titles but I would like to know who the artist was as they look like they were done by the same person... Is there any such data on AtariAge for all the great artwork and get those artists some recognition? If not would it be possible to include this in the game info? Looking through my own small collection I know the artwork contains signatures but can't make a lot of these out Defender and Haunted House have been done with the same signature but can't make it out Adventure looks like A. Jackel? Superbreakout by John ? Vanguard by R.M.Q.? Dig Dug - Gus Allen - this one I know Centipede and Phoenix - Burrell This is my first posting so I apologise if his topic has already been done to death. Cheers
