Cool Retro computer Ads - PC computer & Apple Mac TV adverts

1. Atari Home Computer
Remember Space Invaders, Missile Command and Centipede? This ad features Atari’s long history producing the arcade games of the 70’s and 80’s—and ties that technology to their new home computer—which is really sort of a keyboard that hooks up to a television set.

2. Vic 20 Ad with William Shatner
Heralded as the 'wonder computer of the 1980s' the Vic 20 was big news, and with Captain Kirk beamed down to sell it you had to take notice! In a beige crumpled v-neck the leader of the Starship Enterprise makes sure we know this machine even has a 'real computer keyboard'.

3. Oric Atmos 48K
It’s the large memory that stays large. This ad for the Oric Atmos boasts 48 whole K of RAM, plus the capability to make a stick-figure head smile, turn red, and say “hello” all without shrinking your computer’s memory. Poor head—guess the Oric Atmos doesn’t have enough memory for eyes.

4. Early Apple Advert 1977
Strictly pre-eighties, as this advert was made in 1977. But its one of the earliest home computer adverts so makes the list. Delivered in a robotic voice the ad says you can 'hook it up to your TV to make dazzling colour displays' - useful stuff huh? Or even... 'balance your cheque book and kids can teach themselves arithmetic' Pocket calculators would have been shaking in their boots everywhere...

5. Windows 1.0
Steve Ballmer presents Windows 1.0. He does this in a hyperactive fashion reminiscent of a horse racing commentator. He bamboozles the viewer to 'Watch as Windows integrates Lotus 123 with Miami Vice'?!. I guess you had to be there. Though the big surprise is the price. Only $99.00!

6. Commodore 64
In this 1982 advert Commodore ask 'Which is the best computer based on price and memory?' To do this they use their competitors computers. Not the most complex analysis in the world, but they all said it was the Commodore....now there's a surprise.

7. Amstrad 8256
It’s more than a word processor—and it’s less than most typewriters. This ad for the Amstrad 8256 touts the machine’s “BIG” 256K of memory. It gives you a blast from the past with shots of dot matrix printers, hard disks (remember those?) and that eye-exhausting green type. Get one of these, and you’re sure to want to throw your old computer out.
