That used to be the location of one of their 4 regional service
centers. It was listed in some of the VCS manuals, such as Demons to

Ah! Perfect!!! Thanks ever so much! I work not far from that location,
but until now have never had any reason to see what all is in that area now.
I drive past it fairly often. General Motors has a big manufacturing plant
very close to this area, and the new Dallas Cowboys stadium is being built
close by, too.

In looking at Google Maps, it has a Street View of the building. It's part
of a business park.

Not sure when Atari moved in or moved out. Wish I could have rooted through
their dumpster back then!

Thanks again!
