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. |
