mtshark7 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 So I just realized the 'tune' during the jaguar boot is actually the "Have You Played Atari Today?" tune. Commercial for the slogan: Atari Jaguar Boot: Has anyone ever realized that? I thought that was kinda kool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tursi Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 That was one of the things I loved most about the Jag when it first came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenorman Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yep. I'm not really old enough to remember the 2600 commercials from the early 80s, but I put it together when I clicked the "Have You Played Atari Today" link on the main atariage.com page on one of my first visits here.

Paolo Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 You know, I was going to use that jingle while bootstrapping my Falcon, but I didn't like it much, so I went searching and used an original jingle instead. But, yes, it's cool that they used that tune in Jag. I ever read the story of that, where programmers were told to use a very minimal amount of memory for the booting screen, so they had to manually "score" the tune in memory... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
