Stay Alive (Beach) Commercial

Commercial from the mid-to-late 70s for Stay Alive, "The Survival Game", by Milton Bradley. Pre-dates (I think) the one with Vincent Price.

Totally remember this commercial like it was yesterday and all of the dialouge. Does anyone know the exact year? I'm thinking 1974. Good times, indeed!

I was the girl who said "let's play". It was shot in Puerto Rico and my brother (who was the one who was going to "block) and I never got to see the finished commercial play on TV. We had no idea it was played on TV so much. Thank you to whoever posted it ! Great memory !

I was the kid who was going to "block " and my sister was the little girl who said 'lets play". Thank you for posting this. I have not seen it for many years. It was shot in Puerto Rico in 1970 or 1971. Walt Medina

& today kids use computer games TO LEARN THEIR ALPHABET!!! Can someone say "middle ground??"

There can't be any profit in making & selling these old games anymore but I think if you can get your hands on a bunch of these games for your little kids, like 7 & under, they would love you for it.

thanks a million for posting!!! i've been doing this for people at parties for years. as someone else wrote, i can recite it verbatim, complete with character voice changes & proper intonation for each. but i always wondered how well i really knew it until now. how funny is it that i was completely spot on!!! wonder why this particular commercial has stuck so well in so many peoples heads? come to think of it, i too found it to be an annoying commercial...maybe that has something to do with it?!
