70s Spots: Sears Video Game System & Thrifty Drug Store (1979)

An Atari in disguise.

“Play up to 371 video games!”

We’ve worked our way to the end of the decade this week – here’s two spots from November of 1979. Firstly, a commercial for the Sears Video Game System. This one looks like an Atari because it is (officially licensed and re-branded).

Second, a spot for Thrifty drug stores featuring Henna hair products and a memorable jingle.
