Don't recall that Vic-20, but I also played that Star Wars game a ton in the arcade.

That's great you played the Star Wars Arcade game a lot PB ;) I never seen that Hot Wheels Sizzler with the Juice Machine but I believe there was a similar one in the 80s that I saw and may even had it at one point. That was really, really cool :)

Here's this Commodore VIC-20 Australian Commercial from 1982 :)

That was some Easter TRU commercial and I don't think I saw that one before at all :o

This is a short compilation of Commodore VIC-20 Commercials, really this is surreal :shock:

That was a really cute 1978 M&M's Easter Commercial :)

Here's this Commodore V-C-20 Commercial, this is one is unique ;)

I kinda recall that Shake-An-Egg Kit. That was very sweet :)

HAPPY EASTER :)

First I just want to say that I loved Easter back in the early 90s because My Grandma MiMi rented Me the SNES for Easter in 92 for about a week at Schnucks on Iron Street then a year later in 93 rented Me Sega Genesis over at Blockbuster Video in Holly Hills. These times were the first times that I ever played them systems. It was like a cool tradition that I will never forget :)

Here's this nice Cabury Egg comercial from 1984, 40 years ago this year :o



Here's this good Vintage Easter compilation with the one you posted before plus Daffy Duck, Snoopy, Care Bears, JCPenny, Target and more :)



As a bonus here's the 1991 Paas Easter Egg Color Cups :)



Another bonus, this Cadbury Egg Commercial from 1994, 30 years ago this year :shock:

Nice. I remember going to Putt Putt because you could rent the SEGA Genesis there. At one point that rented fames and systems there, I'd also rent Super TecmoBowl there often before we actually owned. My dad would call to see if they had it available before we drove out there. Those were good times.

Yes, that's also how I first played Sega CD & Sega 32X as well but those weren't at Easter time :) Those times of yours sounded like really good times there PB, a lot of fun ;)

That was a nice Easter Bunny Commercial for Special Olympics :)

It's April Fools :)
