LONDON, UK - 22 October 2004 - Atari announce a deal with Europe's leading sports channel, Eurosport, to promote the forthcoming personal computer release of sporting video game classic, Top SpinTM, due for release on PC across Europe on October 29.

Viewers and surfers are directed to the promotional microsite where great prizes can be won by the more attentive tennis fans amongst Eurosport's 21 million daily viewers. From now until the middle of December, visitors to the microsite will have the chance to answer 3 tennis related questions. Those who know their backhands from their double faults and answer the questions correctly will automatically be entered into the prize draw for a chance to win.
The mouth-watering prizes on offer are:
Samsung Sync Master SM193P TFT monitors - cutting edge, ergonomically designed and the official TFT monitor of the World Cyber Games.
MSI RX8000 Pro-VTD256 graphics cards - a high end piece of hardware which opens up a whole new world of 3D gaming.
