This thing always reminded me of some kind of space helmet. I remember my neighbor had one of these and I had no idea what it was and never got a chance to use it. They just let it sit there and collect dust and now I see why! LOL Thanks for posting this classic commercial!
@doubleohagent As well as a prop in the movie "Ice Pirates" and professional prop house Modern Props modified one and painted it silver so that it could be used as a futuristic card reader in "V the Final Battle" and the second season premiere episode of "MacGyver".
Very cool... Wish I had one :-)

Is this family into self-deprecation? Do they really call themselves "The Dumbheads?"

Talk about effective advertising...even though I never bought one of these I've never forgotten the commercial. Weird to see it after all this time.

Just think if Lorne Michaels could afford the attorneys he can afford now back in 1979...

Funny. They used this game as a prop on the Buck Rogers tv series.

@doubleohagent Ha! I remember that. That's how I knew its days were numbered and sure enough, it was off the air within a few more episodes.
