Laser Blast by Activision (Commercial, 1981)
Views: 2898
Here's a commercial for the home video game Laser Blast by Activision, touting itself as "A New Game Cartridge for Your Atari Video Game System" (and contrasting itself to its "dull" predecessors). The purpose is to go after the other side's force fields and dodge their tracking systems. (Ah, remember those good ol' days? ;-) )
"Atari"(R) and "Video Computer System"(TM) are trademarks of Atari, Inc.
With a lower-third super towards the end as to what sto...

Star Wars Imperial Troop Transporter by Kenner (Commercial, 1980)
Views: 1414
Here's a commercial for the Star Wars Imperial Troop Transport by Kenner. Can fit a Storm Trooper action figure inside (sold separately, of course). Makes all of six sounds including cannon firing, the voice of C3P0 asking where R2D2 is, and R2's response. Notice the reference to a "stun gun" - years before such a term became associated with a real-life weapon used by police.
This airing fell a few months prior to the release of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Views: 2590
Here's another commercial for that great old-time eatery, White Fence Farm, whose owner and founder, Robert J. Hastert, Jr., died at the age of 73.
Great chicken and corn fritters, and lots of interesting knick-knacks to look at before or after dinner. I have fond memories of going here as a kid. It's definitely a one-of-a-kind experience ...

WVTV Channel 18 [Milwaukee, WI] - "Partial EBS Test" (1980)
Views: 2815
Here's a partial test of the Emergency Broadcasting System on an unknown station in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. The person was recording some Woody Woodpecker cartoons and although they cut out the commercials they did decide to record most of the EBS test. It's pretty simple, consisting only of a single, rather discolored slide.
Did they have to traumatize kids by airing these tests during cartoons? It seems like they did the same thing in Chicago too from what I recall....
