Pong: The Next Level (1999): We start on a CGI game of Pong, with 2 gray paddles swatting a gray square ball. We shift to the paddles in close-up, as each of them bends and returns the ball, before forming the Atari logo with the rounded box. We zoom into the middle line of the logo, transitioning into a variant of the Supersonic logo.

On the demo, it is the same as the full game, but the background eventually turns red and the tripod appears without the rounded box and in gold. The ATARI text appears from the bottom and then shines.
