Some of my favourites from the early days...

ZX81: 3D Monster Maze. It was quite scary this in 1981:p

ZX Spectrum: Bruce Lee

On the Atari it was Frogger, Astroids and Pacman

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZfsnA7dAHI]YouTube - Asteroids (Atari 1979)[/ame]
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL2p2ANFlQ4]YouTube - Pac-Man for the Atari 2600[/ame]

Can't remember which platform this was on but I loved this and Super Zaxxon which came out a bit later :cool:

:lol: Dean, I think you'd definitely loose your £100 on those being the exact lyrics mate, but I think you might have got the first line right:thumbsup:

Best I can find is this Poochie | Child Of The 1980's

Poochie, oh Poochie (Poochie Woo)
Lovely little Poochie
Oh your ears are pink and your paws are too
Everybody seems to fall in love with you

There might have been more than one ad, but I knew I was close on the 4th line;) :D
