I am pleased to announce that Sam Comstock has been promoted to the 
position of Supervisor of Animation.  Sam has been with Atari for nearly five
years, and had eight years of animation experience prior to joining us.
  Sam came to us from LucasFilm, where he worked in the special effects
animation department on such films as 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'Return of
the Jedi.'  He started out at Atari in a consumer software group, working on
game graphics for Sesame Street cartridges for the Atari 2600 VCS. 
  Sam was transferred into Coin-op when we began work on computer generated
graphics for videodisc games.  He was responsible for the beautiful art which
was created for a videodisc version of Road Runner (which, unfortunately, was
never manufactured).  Since then, he has worked on a varitey of products, and
most recently completed both Xybots and Blasteroids.  Using his vocal talents,
he has also narrated or appeared in some of our sales and promotional video
tapes. 
  Please join me in congratulating Sam on his promotion, and please cooperate
with him as he assumes his new duties.
