Here’s a classic for ya - this 1980 something commercial for Atari’s Pole Position … enjoy the rockin’ music while you watch.

Now this one is old-school. “Experience games like Super Breakout” … “ATARI. Discover how far you can go”.

I had an Atari computer, Microsoft and Apple had nothing on it. That thing was no joke! I guess they weren’t cut out for the “personal computer” business. I did see somewhere that they’re trying to make a comeback in the gaming industry … we’ll see if it goes anywhere.

This is a blast from the past. Does anyone remember the Burger King Whaler? I sure don’t … let’s see, I was only 7 years old then and the only fast food I remember was the styrofoam “other guy” in this commercial ;-). Their fries used to be the bomb back in the day!!

So here’s “The Whaler” old school TV commercial …

Found these Online today … pretty cool that someone actually has this piece of tech-history saved and available for us to watch. I put it up for you all to check out too.

It’s the 1984 Apple Television Commercial that ends with “On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like “1984″.

That is so cool and so … well … “Apple”.

You can find an entire write-up on these commercials at Curt’s Media along with a behind-the-scenes making the commercial -> cool.
