Even as a child I clearly remember watching this video and thinking: "Three losers, sitting in front of their TV in the middle of the day, paid a surprise visit by a car full of hot, stylish New Wave girls bearing video games? NOT GONNA HAPPEN."
For some reason, I was actually singing the "M-Network has a cure for the video blues" part last night. I came on YouTube this morning to look for a commercial, and damn if I didn't find this!
I remember a different commercial for M-Network games. At the end, the couch that they're all sitting on, rises up into the air as they all huddle together. I seem to recall that there was a cute blond in a blue sweater or blouse, looking scared, or maybe amazed.
Anyone remember that one, or know where to find a copy of it?
I remember first seeing this commercial at some motel in McDonough, Ga, when we went to play a football game...
I remember I was the last to use the shower & everyone had already walked over to the Micky D's & nobody was supposed to walk alone, but I was hungry so I went anyway.
Coach got mad, but I really didn't see how he would think there could be any danger as he knew I could bench press a lot.
I got a McChicken, fries,& a coke - Micky D's really did have a lot better quality back then!
M Network was Mattel doing a "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." And they did a rather good job at making 2600 games based on the ones released for Intellivision. I remember the consensus at the time that M Network's baseball game was better than Atari's RealSports. That was a bit of an irony since the RealSports series was in response to Mattel putting down Atari's then crude looking sports games.

However, they put out an atrocious conversion of Burgertime for Atari.
