Synopsis: Bizarre Cylon-like creatures on some starship command deck open this ad, which quickly segues into juxtaposing shots of Broadway veteran Channing at a casino table saying "Hit Me, Atari" and a clip of gameplay from the Atari Black Jack cartridge (she loses). Then, Abdul-Jabbar in big crazy 1970s sports goggles plays the Atari basketball cartridge. This is vintage '70s all the way.

Whoa! Way to dig into the Atari Volts. Who knew
in 1978 that playing Atari Basketball could be
so much fun, compared to that older guy's ad for
Intellevision Basketball? If Kareem Abdul had
been in one of his commercials for Mattel
Electronics, they could've had a little one-on-one
contest right there, literaly.
