From what I recall, I mean I was a wee-youngster, they were fun to play. Not like the Handhelds of later years but I recall I played them for a while. That was a great Hershey Commercial there from 1986. It had some really cool effects :)

STL made :!:



This Sapaugh GMC Buick is kinda cool :)

I can't tell if it's just this was shot with a green screen so they aren't really standing by each other or if that guy is really short or that lady is really tall.

Oh, that was indeed green screen. Ah yes Ayds. I sure recall Ayds and it was amazing how this was. People think that this was such an unapropos name because of the Aids Virus. Sure, it had a big boom in the 80s around the time these commercials and the first case known was in 1958 however, the Ayds Diet Candy started in the 1940s so this was first and was indeed an appropriate name. Here's another one :)

Yeah, I can't imagine they kept that name for much longer.

Yeah, what a shame when they were first :roll: that was a very sweet M&M Easter Commercial there. It reminds Me of when I did Easter stuff when I was youngster ;)

Here's this commercial of the Tombstone movie in 1993, this was so cool :)



Also, from great 1993, here's this Tombstone Pizza Commercial when Kraft owned the brand (same thing with Jacks Pizza) many, many years before they sold it to Nestle :shock:

Tombstone isn't a bad pizza for the price. I actually don't mind it. That makes me think of the You Can't Do That on Television skit. I couldn't find a clip of just that but it's the first skit on this episode.
