Slime Monster game classic tv commercial 1977

I remember this commercial airing when I was a little kid (I was 8 years old in 1977). Damn, but I wanted this toy. My family was dirt poor and we couldnt afford store bought toys advertised on tv like this one. My toy collection pretty much consisted of mis-matched odds and ends, bits and pieces, that were handed down to me by friends, or found in the streets somewhere, etc. Toy commercials, like this one (and being a big watcher of tv, I saw thousands of them), only served to torture me.

Man oh man! I was given this game for my 11th birthday in 1977! We played it for hours! Loved it loved it loved it! The dad threw it away at some point when I forgot about it. Matter of fact, that's what he did with all of my games. : (

I loved this game - but the background music in this commercial sounds like a first year piano student attempting ragtime. It's a little too insane.

I had this game. It was great! I wish they still made it. Thank you for the post!

Never had this one, I feel so cheated.

And thus a great shudder rolled throughout the land; the fears of a million mothers who knew, knew beyond reason just where the repellent "slime" would end up - dried and complacent, having ruined the rug.

lol :D
