Original Amiga TV ads from 1985
If you are interested in seeing the very and I mean very first TV ads Commodore placed on TV, I have to of them up on my website, they are encoded in WindowsMedia Video format (yeah you have to use a recent PC and Up-to-date windows media player but I think you will find them ultimately cool.
THE URL for them is: http://www.truemediastudios.com/tvads.htm |

I really hate to ask, but anyway to make that second one available again? It never completed on my end for some reason and I didn't notice it until just now.

Anyone here old enough to remember seeing them on TV? They played scarcely here in the tri-state area. And all the Stevie commercials with all the famous people.

I remember seeing the Stevie spots airing. Even got a few of them taped off of MTV. And when I was doing video production, I had to create a spec demo for a teen dance TV series ("Club Paradise", for you trivia buffs) and on that reel, I included those Amiga spots where the commercial breaks were. My own little subliminal promotion!
 One of these days, I'll mpeg the entire demo just because the tape itself will eventually deteriorate. |
