Game TV adverts

[Morkin]

Italian ZX Spectrum advert with Horace Goes Skiing, first months of 1984 if memory serves me well.

Cool...

...Though whoever's playing is pretty crap at it...

...Though whoever's playing is pretty crap at it...

I played this myself for the first time in about 30 years just the other day. Bloody hell it's difficult (for me). I think crossing the road is more luck than judgement.

Hardware rather than software, but this is an advert for the +2. Interesting that it doesn't feature any in-game action.

Yeah, this is the Spectrum ad I've seen most. Cool.

Besides Plus and Plus 2... was there a TV ad for the 16k/48k models when they came out in 1982 or 1983? I've been searching for a long time but I couldn't find any. Brochures, magazine ads, ... but no TV ads. Even the QL had one. But the original Spectrum didn't. It makes no sense.

Do you remember a TV campaign in the UK when the Spectrum came out?

By the way, all these ads might be included in their own entry in the database like the games, don't you think, [mention]Einar Saukas[/mention] ?

A bit off topic, sorry.. but I hadn't seen the advert for the watch before.

To be honest I don't recall any Spectrum TV adverts when I was growing up, although that maybe because my parents preferred the BBC (National broadcaster without adverts)!

Even the Timex had its own advert... why not the Spectrum?
