This commercial did in fact give me a memorable dream. Not a nightmare, but to the point that for a long time I thought that the dream was real and I had imagined the commercial.
I played the HELL out of this game. I had Intellivision (It's still up in the attic) and I spent many summer hours enjoying Tron, B-17, Dungeons and Dragons, Pitfall....and Atlantis!! I topped a million points on Tron Deadly Discs many times, and used to regularly toast the Recognizer. Back to Atlantis though--I remember this Atlantis commercial like it was yesterday. GREAT creative ad and so totally '80s. Thinking back, this could have given an impressionable child severe nightmares.
I was a ColecoVision and VCS fan back in the day, but I have to give credit where due: the Intellivision version of Atlantis was GORGEOUS. One of the coolest home games of the early 80s.
$5 in a bargain bin at a music store in late 1983. Money well spent.

It appears that the Wraith looked different back then.
