The following advertisement for the game was back from January 1978 ... to the best of my recollection. I hope the year would be of some help for you. This advertisement would be my all-time favorites from Milton Bradley. Good Luck!!
I love the deep voice telling the big lie..."A great game of strategy, action, and suspense." Strategy is pretty much "Guess a letter and a number until you win."
Well while that is basically the truth, there is also a certain strategy to decide where to put your shots(Search patterns). It is also good to analyze your opponents placing of his/her ships and find a pattern.
Anyway... We used to play alot of battleship at school though we did it the old way with pen and paper.
Somebody's sleeping on the couch tonight.

'You sank my battleship!'
I have always said it exactly like the bloke in this ad.

that commercial was always on. Back in the days when tv ads didn't make you want to jump off a roof because they were so irritating like todays.

my sister was born the year this commercial came out. When we play battleship and I tell she sank my battleship she'll go shhhhhhhhhhh.

Imagine making a similar commercial now, except one of the guys guesses "C-4" in a rather loud voice and causes a bomb scare?

The music from this commercial totally sounded to me like music that could be played at the pearly gates during one's judgement.

That's Wagner's Love-Death theme from "Tristan and Isolde" for you, lol!

Great commercial and game though.

I like this version, but the one I'm looking for is the original, with the 2 sailors on the ship. "He sank my Battleship!" (foghorn sound effect)
