Here's a commercial for the short-lived gaming system - Vectrex, featuring all vector graphics and color overlays you put over the screen. Also notable for being portable, in that it came with it's own specialized display unit, and for a controller that slightly resembled the later Nintendo Entertainment System controller. Available at Pacific Stereo.
There were two versions of this commercial - the first here, included the line "You bet your Asteroids!", which someone must have complained about because in version #2 it is omitted. See the replacement version here: Here's a link to the original one: • Vectrex - "Fantastic!"...
"You bet your Asteroids!"
This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, October 30th 1982.
About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 4,700+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:
