“The video tank game with two-fisted controls!”

Today our commercial theme will be 1970s electronics. First up, a spot for Radio Shack’s line of CB radios that aired in February of 1976. Following that, a very cool spot for Coleco’s Telstar Combat! video game from November of 1977. Yes, the games were black and white – and we ate them up!
