This is a direct link to a download of a video called 'The Computer Chronicles'

It is a very old video of the latest ATARI software, including glimpses of Pong, Space Shuttle, Bill Budge's pinball construction set, and some others. It's worth the download if you are old enough to remember these games when they were new. It includes interviews with their creators.

you need the mp4 codecs, and WMP. Winamp can't seem to play it.
